Detailed forecast:
Some light rain occurred in the deep interior valleys of the Central Coast on Saturday.
Meanwhile, the winds have increased and shifted to the southwest.
Wind gusts will be reaching up to 50+ mph in Refugio Saturday evening.
A Wind Advisory is in effect for San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties until 4 a.m., Sunday, May 4, 2025.
Another upper low will move down the coast and into southern California overnight.
However, there is some instability with this upper low that will cause a chance of showers in the interior again later tonight into Sunday morning.
Further north along the Central Coast, the inversion will be too weak to sustain a marine layer, so it will likely just be partly cloudy there with gusty northwest winds and cool temperatures.
However, with the upper low moving into northern Mexico by that time, temperatures will be warming, resulting in decreasing instability through the day.
A large north-to-northwest swell associated with the low-pressure system will bring high surf to the Central Coast and Ventura County Beaches this evening through Monday morning.
The High Surf Advisory for San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties ends at 9 a.m., Monday, May 5, 2025.
High surf is expected to peak Sunday morning and afternoon, then subside.
Temperatures on Sunday will remain well below normal, especially south of Point Conception.
The remainder of next week into next weekend is expected to be dry with a warming trend as high pressure builds into the region.
