Good morning Central Coast!
We are half way through the week and with rain knocking on our doorstep there is a lot to talk about, let's dive right in!
A low pressure has made its way onshore in Northern California and with it comes a cold front that is kicking off showers across the Central Coast.
This will start along our western beaches (north SLO county beaches by 6 a.m.) and slowly spread out across the region for the morning.
These storms will be scattered at best, plus our very dry air mass that has made for beautiful conditions the past few days is keeping heavy rain at bay. Our storms will need to overcome that dry air before accumulations are likely. Basically expect some verga (rain that doesn't reach all the way to the ground) ahead of showers.

All said and done this storm will not bring large accumulations from hundredths of an inch to a tenth on the high side are expected.

The showers will have a hard time staying together as the day goes on. By the afternoon only a few storms will be pushing through. Once the evening arrives the storms will have simply left cloud cover and chillier conditions.
The cold front that is bringing rain this morning is keeping temps on the low side, with many highs staying in the upper 50s and low 60s.
Thursday and Friday will stay on the chilly side with morning temps in the interiors flirting with 32 and afternoon highs cooler than normal for this time of year.
Friday also will bring a very small chance for some showers as a weak trough pushes through the region. This will bring a scattered shower at best but the system is very moisure starved so it isnt much of a concern at all for Friday evening's events.
As we close out the weekend temps will begin to warm and will continue to do so into next week.
Have a wonderful day Central Coast!
