Good morning Central Coast!
This weekend and into Monday was downright soggy, with many locations recording several inches of rain from Friday to Monday afternoon.
Now for the first time in a while, skies are set to clear and temps are going to warm up. Highs today will be in the low 60s, this marks a couple of degree warm up from the weekend.
Wednesday a cold front will clip the Central Coast and bring a few scattered showers to the region. First early morning then once again by the evening. These will be scattered at best.
Rainfall accumulations will be minimal, just a few hundredths of an inch of rain.
Good news though - Thursday through early next week we expect things to warm up significantly. 70s are expected by the weekend into the extended forecast.
I know this is a long way out but it is time to talk about the potential for a large atmospheric river event to close out January and kick off February. What it currently looks like (it is a long way out, things are likely to change) is a strong storm will hit the west coast and bring significant rain from the 20th through 3rd with another storm on its heals compounding rain through the 5th.
Model runs that I have been watching are consistent to begin ringing alarm bells, plus the Climate Prediction Center rarely puts out information this far out. Stay aware of this forecast going forward.
Have a great day Central Coast!
