Good morning Central Coast!
What a difference just a day makes, Thursday was filled with sunshine and some temps climbing into the upper 80s. To start off our Friday winds have shifted onshore, that has pushed significant cloud cover onshore. Here is a look at the dense fog we are facing this morning.
The cloud cover will dissipate quickly in the coastal valleys and more slowly at the beaches. Today will once again be a great day with sunny skies and temps that are still mild but about 10 degrees cooler than yesterday.
That cooldown is thanks to winds turning onshore and bringing the cooler marine air into play.
Tonight that will intensify even more and bring heavy cloud cover and singificant dense fog overnight into Saturday morning. That isnt the headline though of the changing forecast. Rain is the main story so here is the latest on that storm.
An unseasonably cold storm system is pushing south from the Aleutian Islands and will will skirt the Central Coast. The vast majority of impacts will be to our north and into the Sierras but we have the chance for light precipitation Saturday afternoon into early Sunday morning.
On the whole the system is small, showers will move south as the core cold front traverses the region. Highest totals will be in northern SLO County, just over a tenth of an inch is expected there but as you move south accumulations will fall to mere hundreths of an inch.
This weekend is far from a washout but still something to think about when making plans.
Sunday will begin to clear and while the temps will still be on the low side a warmer pattern will move in and last into next week.
Have a great weekend Central Coast!
