Happy Saturday, Central Coast!
Let's get right into the weather for this weekend. It's a nice weekend for us here, a bit windy, but still quite great for outdoor activities. You might have to hold on to your hat if you're out on a hike!
There is a wind advisory in effect for portions of the Central Coast, in addition to Ventura and Kern County.
Alright, the big story for the next few days is the expected rain headed our way. Thankfully, little has changed in the latest round of model data there is a little more timing resolution but that is about it.
A low-pressure system forming in the Gulf of Alaska is going to bring another cold front to California. When this cold front moves south, it will encounter some tropical moisture. This moisture will then 'supercharge' this cold front, giving it enough power to bring us rain.
The cold front will still arrive Monday night and push south slowly. For us, that means rain chances beginning Monday evening and lasting into Wednesday morning, but the worst of it looks to all be on Tuesday.
During the main storm (3 a.m. Tuesday to 5 p.m. Tuesday) there is the chance for some convective action. Thunderstorms are possible and even some severe threats. These will be isolated but still possible. More winds and cooler temps will move through as well. Wednesday morning, the last of the rain will have cleared.
Rain totals time! Chances for over an inch of rain are still widespread. The faster models show less, but I figure prepare for the high end.
Here is what the next 7 days will look like for us. Following the storm temps will slowly recover, and sunshine will be the story once again with cooler overnight temps falling into the 40s.
Enjoy your evening!
