Good morning Central Coast!

As we kick off the morning significant northerly winds continue to push into the region and with that additional cloud cover is moving in. Thanks to that there is some dense fog in place for the morning commute.

Cloud cover will stick around for some of the morning before clearing out quickly. Most of today will be marked with sunshine and some cooler temperatures. Most locations will be in the mid 60s but our southcoast will warm up a bit more into the 70s.

The bigger headline today is winds. The strong northerly winds that are following the rain from Wednesday are prompting a wind advisory for the Gaviota coastline through 3 p.m. Friday. Expect breezy conditions across the whole region.

Briefly looking in the rear view mirror at the rain we saw Wednesday morning. Rain totals came in just about as we expected, a line of showers in the morning produced rain across the western beaches and fell apart as it moved inland. Most locations got less than .20” of rain along the coast.

Here is a look at more rain totals.

Friday there is another very slight chance for rain as a cold front pushes south. A few sprinkles or a light shower are possible but right now it looks more like "a nothing" than "a something". It is more likely this wave just reinforces cooler air into the weekend.

Next week temps will warm into the 70s for the coastal valleys. We look to stay dry but the PacNW will get hammered by a series of storms with atmospheric river connections. We are too far away from the activity to get in on any meaningful rain.

Have a wonderful day Central Coast!
