Good morning Central Coast!

To kick off the morning there is some dense fog along our south coast, this will clear out quickly. The good news is that this is the only patch of fog we are concerned with. Clear skies turning to sunshine is expected for all of our communities.

The pattern is quiet today and through the extended forecast. Here is a closer look a the few minor changes.

A low pressure is lingering in southern Utah and thanks to an active weather pattern in the east we are going to see that low retrograde into our region. This basically means the low is backing up into the region. For the sierras that could mean some showers tonight but for us it means offshore winds are expected.

Those offshore winds will take air from the higher elevations and force it down to the coasts. This compressional heating will help our communities stay warm not just toay but into the weekend.

Today temps are close to yesterday with highs in the 80s for interiors, 70s in the coastal valleys and 60s at the beaches.

Into the weekend highs will warm even more. The interior valleys will make a play for 90 this weekend.

Next week the low will move on and more onshore flow will lead to some cooling.

Have a great day Central Coast!
