Good morning Central Coast!
To kick off our Tuesday it is once again a bit of a chilly one. Most interior valleys are in the low 30s with coasts in the low 40s. This is a couple of degrees above the last few mornings enough so that we are clear from the freeze warnings that have been present for the past week.
Today's temps will be comfortable across the region with highs in the mid 60s across almost all communities. This is very close to normal for this time of the year, enjoy it though cooler weather is on the way.
Now turning to the 'headline' of our forecast, a low pressure system is headed towards northern California and will bring a cold front to our region. It isn’t a huge storm but cooler temperatures, some gusts as well as rain through much of the day Wednesday.
There are no advisories in advance for this system, just showing how this system will not pack to much of a punch.
Cloud cover will begin to build in overnight ahead of the first chances for scattered showers early Wednesday morning. These will be minimal to begin with but will continue into the mid morning.
Our most widespread rain chances are around lunchtime when the cold front will push through. This band may bring some pockets of moderate to heavy rain, that will likely be isolated to the north coast.
By evening the shower potential will have moved south, leaving behind chilly air and cloud cover.
All said and done most locations will see just a few hundredths of an inch of rain. The SLO County north coast could see a bit more, up to 0.30" from the storm.
Thursday skies will clear once again although temps will stay on the chilly side. Highs wills stay below normal for this time of the year.
Friday there is another system that will push through the region. It doesn't look like there is much moisture or energy for it to work with but additional cloud cover is expected.
The weekend will stay on the cooler side but will begin to see some warming into early next week!
Have a wonderful day Central Coast!
