Good morning Central Coast!
To kick off the workweek there is some cloud cover but thankfully it is high enough off the surface to avoid dense fog concerns for morning commuters.
There is a high pressure sitting a ways offshore and that is helping to push the seemingly never ending parade of low pressure systems to our north.
Clear skies will take over and make for a wonderful Monday!
Temps today will be mild with highs in the mid 60s and low 70s across the region. This is nearly 10 degrees above normal for this time of year.
while today is a warm one, there is a small wrinkle on the way as a weakening low pressure settles in overnight and will drop temps a couple of degrees for Tuesday. This will be most noticeable in the early morning hours when most of the interior valleys will once again fall into the low 30s. Most coastal valleys will stay in the low 60s.
That trough will exit quickly and high pressure and some offshore winds will take over. Temps will rebound into the 70s for the remainder of the week.
Into the extended forecast there are a few details to keep in mind. Temperatures are expected to be well above normal across much of the country for the week leading into Christmas (sorry for those white Christmas fans) but alongside that strong westerlies are going to bring in a chance for rain early next week. It is way to early to say much about it but I will be keeping a close eye on rain from 12-18 to 12-20
Into the extended forecast chances for rain return early next week.
