Good morning, Central Coast and happy Halloween!
There is quite a bit going on so let's dive right in!
Firstly I want to chat about the winds, particularly in San Luis Obispo where firefighters are still battling the Lizzie Fire. Up to date information will be added to the KSBY News homepage when it becomes available.
Winds are the greatest concern when dealing with fires and the good news is that winds are low and will remain mild through the day. As of early Tuesday morning winds were ESE at less than 5 mph. Later on today winds will pick up, sustained around 10 mph with some gusts up to 20 mph from noon through sundown tonight. Thankfully the winds will shift onshore and will maintain direction consistently though the evening. This is good news for firefighters continuing to work on containing the blase.
It is yet another cold one across the region with lows diving towards 32 degres in the SLO County interior valleys and also falling in the Santa Ynez valley. These chilly temps are widespread enough that once again alerts are in place. In the Santa Ynez Valley a frost advisory is in effect and a freeze warning is in effect for the SLO County interior valleys where temps will be at or below freezing for enough hours to kill plants. These alerts are in place through 8 am.
Thankfully after sunrise temps will warm up quickly. Highs today will be above normal for this time of year with abundant sunshine. Most locations will be in the upper 70s and 80s. Beaches will be in the upper 60s.
As far as evening conditions look for trick-or-treators we couldn't ask for a better forecast! The warm afternoon temps will allow for mild evening temps and without much wind there shouldn't be any issues! Sunset through the region is between 6:06 and 6:10 PM!
Through the extended forecast there is not a ton of change, 80s continue through the week.
Even looking into the extended forecast temps look to stay warm through the Climate Prediction Center's 8-14 day forecast!
Have a wonderful Halloween Central Coast!
