Happy Sunday to everyone on the Central Coast. The cold weather trend is slowly coming to an end but will continue through Monday. However, starting on Tuesday, a warmer trend will begin. Make sure you have your jacket handy as temperatures will remain below normal through Monday.
Weather Headlines:
– Temperatures are expected to remain 3 to 6 degrees below normal on Monday as a weak upper-level low moves through California.
– Temperatures will begin to rise from Tuesday and are expected to increase by 1-3 degrees each day through the weekend.
– Monsoon moisture could bring light rain and thunderstorms to the region’s mountains and Antelope Valley later this week.
Detailed forecast:
Temperatures are expected to continue to trend lower into Monday as a low pressure system moves into Northern California early this weekend, bringing cooler air from the ocean over the land.
The warming trend is expected to begin on Tuesday, but temperatures will rise slowly each day, generally by 1-3 degrees, and continue through the end of the week.
Gusty winds will be more prevalent in the afternoon for areas inland where humidity will drop into the teens and single digits.
No red flags have been issued, but inland valleys will experience near-fire danger conditions for at least a few hours each afternoon and evening.
Sundowner winds will move across southwest Santa Barbara County Sunday evening. Refugio is below advisory level.
Coastal areas will see low clouds and fog overnight and into the morning. Inland areas such as Paso Robles will see scattered low clouds Monday morning, but will clear by mid-morning.
A quick summary: A warming trend is expected to begin on Tuesday, while high pressure will remain in the Four Corners and dominate the weather pattern across the West through this weekend and possibly beyond.
By Tuesday, high temperatures in Paso Robles will reach 94 degrees Fahrenheit, and by Friday highs will rise steadily into the 100s Fahrenheit.
Projected daily temperature trends suggest highs will surpass 100 degrees Fahrenheit by Thursday or Friday in the warmest parts of the valley, rising to 105 to 107 degrees Fahrenheit by next weekend, while inland areas are expected to reach the 110s again.
Have a great day everyone on the Central Coast!
