Good morning, Central Coast! Happy Thursday!
We have wonderful conditions on the docket today as more clearing takes place by the afternoon. The morning cloud cover will stick around into the mid morning, limited visibility is expected in the interior valleys this morning.
We have been talking about May Grey and now June Gloom for several weeks, that constant marine air has kept us cool across the region.
This morning more onshore flow moved in that will keep us cloudy across the coastal regions through early afternoon. The interiors will clear out a bit quicker but will still stay on the cooler side. Temperatures will take a small hit today, coastal valleys will be in the mid 60s, interiors will just reach the 70s.
Today is a big day for the seniors at the Santa Ynez Valley Union High School, it is graduation day! Today's high will be around 66 degrees today, and by 7 pm temps will fall to the mid 50s as more clouds roll in.
It is also graduation day for Cambria's Coast Union high school! Temps will reach into the low 60s today and for evening celebrations more fog will return with temps in the 50s.
There are many events going on across the region aside from graduations. For those headed to the first day of the Santa Maria Elks Rodeo temps will fall quickly once the sun sets. Overnight lows will be in the 40s but for the rodeo the temps will be in the high 50s. Grab that extra layer you might need it.
If this forecast hasn't been your cup of tea, don't worry there is a warm up on the way. A high pressure will press the marine layer offshore and bring significant warming. Interior valleys will be significantly warmer with temps in the upper 80s expected. Coastal valleys will still see some morning fog but sunshine will move in for the weekend highs will reach the 70s.
This warm up is short-lived however as another trough of low pressure arrives early next week to push coastal temperatures back into the mid-60s for highs and interior temperatures also take a big hit. June gloom returns next week.
Have a wonderful day!
