Good morning Central Coast!

Monday was a joy across the region as we started a big warming and drying trend. Temps reached the mid 60s for most communities, today we continue that trend with even better conditions! This is one of those forecasts that just keeps getting better.

Diving right in! There is a couple of pockets of fog this morning in the Santa Ynez valley as well as in the Southern Salinas River Valley around Paso Robles. This is not expected to be too much of a problem but it is still something to be aware of especially during the morning commute.

A large scale ridge of high pressure has built into the region and has taken our highs from just the 50s this weekend to the 70s today and there are even 80s on the horizon.

Some gusts are expected through the week but they are expected to stay below advisory level criteria.

Temps are just above normal for this time of the year today with even warmer temps tomorrow. Here is a look at the forecast.

Some added cloud cover is expected Wednesday, starting off with some dense fog in the morning but that will clear quickly.

Into the extended forecast we are finally going to see a nice weekend! A warming trend is expected on Saturday and Sunday, with Sunday being the warmest day during the extended period (aside from Wednesday). By Monday, with the marine layer expected to deepen, temperatures will cool back to several degrees below normal for the coast and valleys but remain above normal for interior areas. No rain is the forecast over the next 7 days.

Have a wonderful day Central Coast!
