The Central Coast can expect frost, freeze, and wind over the next few days.
Temperatures remain below normal for this time of year with daytime highs reaching the mid-50s to low 60s.
A frost advisory has turned into a freeze warning for both San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara Counties Tuesday night into Wednesday morning with overnight temperatures dropping between 17 and 32 degrees early Wednesday morning. Freezing temperatures can kill crops and harm outdoor pets of livestock.
A frost advisory will be issued from midnight until 9 a.m. Wednesday on the Santa Barbara South Coast with overnight temperatures falling between 32 and 35 degrees.
Stay warm. Protect sensitive plants and bring in pets. Even colder overnight low temps are forecast tonight. Clear skies and less winds will allow for more efficient radiative cooling. #CAwx pic.twitter.com/VzB66F4PAk
