Good morning Central Coast! As we kick off the morning there is rain actively moving through, plus continued wind and wave concerns are in place.

This morning another small system is here and rain is kicking off the day.

Drizzle and light rain is falling across much of the region. Grab that extra layer if you are headed out the door this morning. As the day goes on the system will move south and quickly clear out. By mid-morning all that is left will be a few scattered showers. This afternoon sunshine is possible.

All said and done most areas will see less than a tenth of an inch, though northwestern San Luis Obispo County could get up to a quarter of an inch.

Here is a look at the current rainfall totals.

Temps today will be mild, although will take some time to heat up thanks to all the drizzle. Here is a look at our forecasted high temps!

Winds are still an active concern. The strongest winds will be along the southwestern coast of Santa Barbara County and in the mountains with some gusts upwards of 45 mph. That has prompted a high winds advisory for portions of SB County through 10 a.m. Saturday morning.

Waves are also a major concern for the weekend! Yet another high surf advisory is in place thanks to local wave sets 10-15 ft through Tuesday morning.

Here is a bit more to know about the wave threat.

After the front passes, sunshine will move in and we will see a beautiful and warmer day Saturday and through much of Sunday.

A weak, dying front may bring a very slight chance of light rain to northwestern San Luis Obispo County on Sunday. Otherwise, expect dry conditions across the Central Coast, continuing well into next week.

Have a great day Central Coast!
