Good morning, Central Coast!
It's looking like a warm day for our region and with these warm temperatures, gusty winds are set to follow. As of this morning, major gusts are sticking to the San Luis Obispo, Santa Maria and Shandon areas. Gusts are hitting the 40 to 50 mile per hour range just above San Luis Obispo.
Today is the busiest travel day of the year. In high winds, the National Weather Service advises to take a few extra precautions when driving.
Driving Tips:
- Use both hands while driving
- Drive slower than normal
- Watch for objects blowing into the street
- Keep a safe distance from cars next to you, winds may push cars into nearby lanes
