Hello, Central Coast!
We had some high clouds moving across the skies earlier this afternoon.
Offshore winds from the north and east caused it to be breezy to gusty earlier today.
Temperatures on Saturday afternoon will be about 3 to 7 degrees above normal for most areas. The coastal valleys, interior valleys, and lower mountains reached the 70s to low 80s.
The reason why we’re experiencing a warming trend is due to an upper-level ridge of high pressure that will build into the area through Sunday.
The ridging will linger but weaken slightly on Sunday night and Monday, then flat upper-level ridging should continue over southern California Monday night into Tuesday.
Daytime highs on Sunday will be in the 60s and 70s for our beaches. The coastal valleys will be in the 60s and 70s, but the Santa Ynez Valley could get close to the 80s. Our interior valleys will be in the 70s and 80s.
Dry weather with mostly above normal temps can be expected across the region Sunday through Tuesday.
Temperatures are expected to be about 4 to 8 degrees above normal away from the coast on Sunday and about 2 to 7 degrees above normal on Monday and Tuesday.
Some night and morning low clouds and fog may appear for a few coastal areas on Monday and Tuesday, but clear to partly cloudy skies are expected.
Have a fantastic weekend, Central Coast!
-Eddie
