It was a beautiful day across the region as High Pressure briefly moved in to produce cloud-free skies and warmer temperatures. However, the warm and sunny conditions will give way to increasing clouds and cooler temperatures Friday. A weather system will drop into CA Friday leading to a chance of scattered showers for the Central Coast by Friday afternoon through early Saturday am. The system is will weaken considerably as it approaches the region so significant rainfall isn't expected. Rainfall should begin in SLO county by the afternoon and then spread southward through the remainder of the day. Areas north of the Santa Ynez Range could receive up to .25" of rainfall while southern areas probably won't see more than .10". Saturday will start off with a few clouds becoming sunny, cool and windy by the afternoon. Warmer weather is expected Sunday with light offshore winds.
Tonight: Clear and cool. Low's 40's Coast, Upper 20's-mid 30's Inland/Mtns.
Friday: Cooler with Increasing clouds. Showers developing through the day. Southwest breeze 10-20 mph with gusts to 25 mph. Highs: 60's.
Have a great day!
