Warm temperatures are sticking around this weekend on the Central Coast, but things will start to cool down next week.
Above normal temperatures will persist through the weekend with marine layer clouds that are likely limited to north of Point Conception. A cool down is expected through most of next week bringing temperatures back below normal along with a deeper marine layer.
Sundowner winds are expected over southern Santa Barbara County tonight. We will likely see gustier winds as compared to last night, but still remaining focused over the western portion from Gaviota to Refugio. We are not expecting anything advisory level, but could see local gusts to 45 mph through the typically windy passes and canyons.
The marine layer will also remain quite shallow tonight and will likely continue to have low clouds confined to the Central Coast and Santa Ynez Valley.
There is a chance of another round of patchy dense fog across the Central Coast due to the shallowness of the marine layer. A similar night through morning low cloud pattern will likely continue through the weekend as the marine layer remains shallow.
