Good morning, Central Coast!
To kick off our Wednesday morning, there are a few localized pockets of fog in the Santa Ynez and Santa Maria valleys. That cloud cover will clear quickly to a beautiful and sunny day.
We have some lingering concern by our beaches where a swell is passing up to our north. Localized sets up to 8 ft are possible.
Our south coast is still under a Beach Hazard Statement for rip current and slight tidal overflow risk through 5 p.m. Wednesday evening.
For the rest of the week, waves will calm, but it won't last long. A swell associated with Hurricane Rachel will arrive by the weekend. It shouldn't be too much of a concern, but it is something I am watching.
The bigger impact for the Central Coast this week is a high-pressure system that is inching closer. As it reaches us, offshore winds and sunshine will be the story.
Here is a look at the temperatures we can expect for today.
That heating will bring temperatures up to near triple-digit highs for the weekend and into next week.
Here is what that all looks like on the seven-day forecast.
Have a wonderful day, Central Coast!
