Good morning Central Coast, happy Tuesday!

Diving right in, today will be another sunshine filled day with temps remaining above normal across the region although taking a sizable step back from the much warmer temps Monday featured.

That slight change is all thanks to a weakening cold front that pushed into the region late Monday and is bringing more substantial northerly winds. No advisories are in place but it will be breezy at points plus frost is likely in the interior valleys.

Wednesday temps will rebound into the upper 60s and low 70s beginning a warming trend that will last through the week and into the weekend.

Looking into the extended forecast things are going to change in a big way. The high pressure that has kept us from changing much over the past few days and will keep us bathed in sunshine and warm weather will dissipate. Without that "block" a series of strong low-pressure systems will head our way.

The first system is already on the 7-Day, arriving late this weekend, this will likely bring some shower potential but good news for us is that it will stall out offshore and the remnants will only then make their way to us with substantially less rain potential than if the storm came straight to us. That being said as the models show currently we could still see substantial rain.

Another similarly constructed system is on the way for the following week but this one could deliver much more significant rainfall to the Central Coast and California as a whole. There's even a third system to keep our eyes on in the deeper extended forecast. As all of these systems are quite some ways off the coast and deeper into the forecast, timing and intensity could change. This is a forecast to watch on Sunday and beyond.

Have a wonderful day Central Coast!
