Cloud coverage increases Saturday night, bringing a chance of rain with scattered showers lingering possibly into Monday morning.

Temperatures will remain below average in the mid 50’s to lower 60’s for daytime highs.

Colder air helps surrounding air-mass become unstable resulting in scattered rain showers over mountains.

Models show that rain will continue Sunday night for higher elevations in SLO County which could also result in snow for elevations exceeding 4000 feet.

I-5 at the Tejon Pass and Grapevine will need to be watched because of possible impacts of this.
