Good morning Central Coast!
As we kick off our Friday great conditions are in place!
Yesterday strong Santa Ana winds kept significant fire weather concerns in place thankfully today the high pressure fueling that wind event is shifting east and the winds will calm quickly.
As that high pressure pushes east skies will remain clear and temps right around normal for this time of year. That in addition to very dry air will lead to another morning of cold temps. Lows in the interior valleys will fall to the 20s once again. There is a freeze warning in place once again until 9 a.m.
Highs today will once again be in the mid 70s for most. 60s at the beaches. That is within a degree or two of normal for most spots.
This weekend will be consistant and a nearly copy paste of today aside from a chance for some early morning fog by the beaches.
Looking to the latter half of the weekend and into next week, a cooling trend is expected as a series of weak storm systems push down from the north. You can expect a possible light rain event or mountain snow between Veterans Day and Tuesday, with northern-facing mountain slopes seeing the best chance of moisture. While precipitation isn’t guaranteed, future forecasts may bring more clarity as details emerge. For now, temperatures early next week will likely trend cooler, with highs dropping back to seasonal or even slightly below normal as these weak systems cycle through.
Have a great day Central Coast!
