——— 10 a.m. update———
The storms are on their way! Embedded in the brief periods of heavy rain a rumble of thunder or two are possible.
——— Original Article———Good morning Central Coast!
To kick off our Wednesday there is once again a chance for showers across the region. They are moving in from the north and will be mild overall with a few brief pockets of heavy rain.
These will begin in northern SLO County after 10 a.m and move south quickly. For these it is best to simply head inside and wait it out.
As they push south they will dissipate and will bring widespread light accumulations.
Now moving on to our waves. There is a high surf advisory in place for our western beaches through 4 p.m. Friday. Combined by AM high tides we could see some minor coastal flooding during morning high tides. Expect large breaking waves of 8 to 12 feet with dangerous rip currents.
Hopefully this makes for a great couple of days of competition at the SLO CAL Open at Pismo Beach. For those who aren't trained though, please be careful and avoid risk in the ocean.
We will see skies clear quickly and temps will warm up significantly as we head into the weekend. 70s are expected through the weekend and into early next week. SLO could even reach the mid to upper 70s by Sunday.
By the end of January we have another big change in the works. The set up is all there for an atmospheric river to press into the region and bring significant rain. This is a long way out but now is a good time to start preparing if a large scale event ends up happening.
Have a great day Central Coast!
