Good morning Central Coast!
What a beautiful day we had for Wednesday, highs neared 80 in some communities with abundant sunshine! Those warm temps are going to be a thing of the past very soon as we are pushing into a cooler and much more active pattern.
To kick off your Thursday morning visibility is good! Some marine layer fog is headed our way but it is not going to be as significant as the last few days.
Highs today are a few degrees lower than yesterday but still very comfortable!
Friday morning will once again feature some fog and mild temps, but as the day goes on cloud cover will become more substantial.
Later Friday evening a cold front pushes through the Central Coast and brings rain. The bulk of the rain will be overnight but showers as early as sunset but the majority of the rain will fall overnight.
Some scattered showers will still be in place for Saturday but it will be far from a washout.
Sunday should be mostly dry but a light shower can’t be ruled out. This is probably not enough of a chance to garner an icon on the forecast but worth at least mentioning.
More importantly, winds will be up, especially Sunday. Saturday wind gusts look to be near 20-30mph, Sunday wind gusts 25-40mph are likely and Monday wind gusts of 20-30mph are likely. Those winds will combine with highs in the upper 50s and lower 60s. It'll feel cool. Wind advisories are likely.
Wave heights this weekend will build to 7-10ft with some max sets near 12ft. A surf advisory is likely.
Total weekend rainfall should stay under .50" outside of the SLO County northcoast where higher elevations could see up to 1" (places like Rocky Butte).
Monday and Tuesday we’ll be in NW flow aloft and temps stay in the 60s. Wednesday another and stronger cold front looks to roll through the area in the afternoon.
Another system shows up to close the month.
So Spring may be here but we are not done with the rainy season just yet.
Have a wonderful day Central Coast!
