...Cooler Weather with Below Normal Temperatures Through Friday..Then A Little Warmer....
Waking up under mostly cloudy skies as a trough sweeps the Central Coast that will help cool temperatures for today and return some clouds to the forecast. Becoming mostly sunny mid day with breezy conditions 10-20 MPH increasing 20-30 MPH as temps decrease only topping out in the low to mid 60's at the coast with upper 60's & 70's inland. Partly cloudy skies can be expected tonight with continued cooling through the week.
A weather system is moving toward the Pacific Northwest and will push a dry cold front through the Central Coast Thursday afternoon. This will bring cooler temperatures and some breezy conditions along the coast.
An upper trough then sets up just along the west coast and will remain there through the week. Temperatures will drop to below normal by mid week then remain below normal into Friday. The trough will weaken toward the end of the week and this will allow temperatures to moderate a little as we head into the Memorial Day Holiday Weekend.
The Outlook for 26th of May thorough the 3rd of June calls for Below Normal Temperatures and Near Normal Precipitation which is little or none for this time of year.

Flood effects can be local, impacting a neighborhood or community, or very large, affecting entire river basins and multiple states. However, all floods are not alike. Some floods develop slowly, sometimes over a period of days. Flash floods often have a dangerous wall of roaring water that carries rocks, mud, and other debris and can sweep away most things in its path.More >>
You may need to survive on your own after a disaster. This means having your own food, water, and other supplies in sufficient quantity to last for at least three days. Local officials and relief workers will be on the scene after a disaster, but they cannot reach everyone immediately. You could get help in hours, or it might take days.More >>
Debris and mud flows are rivers of rock, earth, and other debris saturated with water. They develop when water rapidly accumulates in the ground, during heavy rainfall. They can flow rapidly, striking with little or no warning at avalanche speeds. They also can travel several miles from their source, growing in size as they pick up trees, boulders, cars, and other materials.More >>
