Good Morning Central Coast! As we kick off a new work week temps are on the cooler side with a few rain chances to start off the week.

The added cloud cover this morning is likely not going to help the already hard wake up this morning after clocks changed this weekend. Make sure that while also changing your clocks to also replace batteries in smoke detectors as well as in NOAA Weather Radios!

The morning is starting off mild with thankfully very little fog, the one impact we are seeing though is the remnants of a storm pressing though to our north. If accumulating rainfall is recorded I will be surprised. This rain chance is more a drop or two early this morning across our NW beaches of San Luis Obispo County.

Thanks to that system slightly cooler temps are also in place. Most communities will be within a degree or two of 60. That is a couple of degrees below normal for this time of year but also marks the coldest temps we will see all week.

Rinse and repeat the rain chances this morning for Tuesday. Again a storm will clip our most northern beaches bringing a drop or two of rain again in the morning hours alongside some additional cloud cover. Temps will remain in the low 60s but will be a little warmer than Monday.

Aside from our remote rain chances surf is elevated and will become more of a concern as the week goes on. There is currently a High Surf Advisory in place for all of our western beaches until 6 a.m. on Friday.

Looking into the extended forecast, sunshine and warming is the name of the game. Highs will climb into the mid 70s by later this week with lots of sunshine all thanks to a ridge of high pressure setting up.

That pattern of warm and sunny conditions is expected to stick around into the extended forecast with the Climate Prection Center 8-14 day outlooks showing dry and warmer than normal temps through the 25th.

Have a wonderful day and week ahead, Central Coast! Don't forget to download the KSBY Microclimate App for the latest weather headlines.
