We’ve seen a lot of localized and patchy fog this morning in both inland areas–like Paso Robles–as well as along the coastline from Cambria, all the way down to the South Coast. That fog will be burning off by mid-day, leaving us with clearing skies, though the shift from on-shore winds, to off-shore winds won’t be as strong as predicted earlier. Consequently, our high temperatures will reach only the low to mid-60′s. High pressure will begin to build late in the day and a warm-up is in store beginning Thursday, lasting through the weekend. That will keep us looking good with beautiful, clear skies for the next several days. For more on what’s happening in your neighborhood, log onto KSBY.com.

An area of low pressure will be diving through a trough to our east on Wednesday setting up breezy to windy NW winds which will shift northerly late in the day on offshore by Thursday morning.

Initially this will induce partly cloudy skies with temps in the mid 60s on Wednesday but Thursday through the weekend look clear and dry with morning offshore winds and daytime highs in the 70s.

(as a note the overnight lows will be cool Thursday through the weekend as well as the air mass looks generally dry)

A lingering low pressure system will keep us cool today, with some scattered low clouds and morning fog, which should burn off by mid-day. By this evening, we’ll see the clouds begin to dissipate and the skies clear, with colder temperatures to follow overnight. Our daytime highs will be in the mid to upper 60′s in most locations around the Central Coast, with Los Osos, Morro Bay, Cambria, and San Simeon struggling to get out of the 50′s.

Late tomorrow, we’ll see high pressure begin to build again, bringing warmer weather and clear skies for the end of the work week.

Clouds and sun will battle for control of the skies through Wednesday before some offshore flow develops in the morning hours Thursday through the weekend for warmer and more clear weather.

A weak area of low pressure in northern California is the culprit as is a stream of mid and upper level clouds streaming through the area. The Central Coast is currently positioned between an upper level trough to the east and ridge to the west. The ridge will build over California by Thursday, that’ll produce some surface high pressure which will clear out the skies and give us some offshore morning flow which will boost temps.

Lower 60s for Tuesday, mid to upper 60s Wednesday despite high clouds, lower 70s Thursday through the weekend for most with the exception of the interior valleys where the temps will hover in the mid to upper 60s for the entire six day.
