Tonight: Unsettled conditions are ending, turning partly cloudy and cool with lows in the 40s to low 50s.
Wind Concerns: There may be new wind advisories on Wednesday afternoon through Thursday morning for southern Santa Barbara County. Winds will calm by Friday, but expect breezy conditions to return during the afternoon and early evening hours.
Temperature Trend: As the low-pressure system departs, we'll see gradual warming of 4 to 8 degrees through Friday, bringing us closer to seasonal averages closer to 70.
Weekend Outlook: Another weak storm system approaches for the weekend, bringing temperatures back down into the 60s. There's a spot shower chance, focused on the foothills and interior areas, including our mountain regions. This system is coming from the southwest and appears weak, so significant wind issues are not expected.
Mountain Areas: The Santa Lucia Mountains, Santa Ynez Mountains, and Los Padres National Forest areas in both counties will see similar shower activity, with slightly higher chances in the higher elevations due to orographic lifting.
Have a great night, Central Coast!
