Good morning, Central Coast!
Thinking about yesterday's forecast makes me so happy! Temps on the rise, sunshine, and the green hills thanks to all the rain we have been facing. I count that as pretty much picture perfect and the good news is that today will be more of the same!
There is a little dense fog in the Paso Robles area, watch out for those low visbilities.
Temps today are on the rise once again, some temps will even reach into the 70s by this afternoon.
Highs will stay warm and wonderful through this weekend as highs continue to climb into the mid 70s amid abundant sunshine.
Early next week will continue our pattern of great weather. On Monday some of our coastal valleys will make a run for 80.
Midway through next week everything is going to change. The ridge of high pressure that has kept us warm and wonderful will move east and allow for many rain chances to push into the region.
Next Wednesday a few storms will push into the region and bring heavy rainfall. We are expecting rain chances to extended through the first week of February with several inches of rain possible. There is a lot of hype about this online, here are my two cents.
Rain is expected to begin late Wednesday night and bring heavy rain. This is expected to be atmospheric river scale for many parts of Northern California and extending into our region as well. This first storm (as models currently see it) may bring over an inch of rain.
As that band clears light rain will take over and last into the weekend. Into the first full week of February several more storms are likely to head our way and bring several more inches of rain. This is a long way out but I am keeping a close eye on it and will keep you updated as more information becomes available.
Bottom line is... enjoy this weekend! There is rain to come so stay aware!
Have a wonderful day Central Coast!
