Another gorgeous day for the Central Coast Wednesday, with sunshine and warm temperatures in the afternoon.

While temperatures are above normal, they are not as warm as record temperatures have been in the past.

Temperatures are going to start to rise Thursday, with some areas 5 degrees warmer than they were Wednesday.

Strong winds are still of concern as several areas are still seeing gusts over 35 mph.

Wave heights can be 10-13 ft during this time.

We are anticipating dry, mostly clear skies Thursday, except for dense ground fog in our inland valleys.

A cold front is coming in Sunday, creating partly to mostly cloud skies and much cooler temperatures.

A shift towards wet weather may develop by February 11th.
