Beautiful Weekend Weather

Lots of sunshine and warm temps finish out the weekend. Another beautiful day across the Central Coast which will continue for Mom on her day Sunday! Low clouds and fog will develop once again at night and during early morning hours before abundant sunshine once again. Inland areas will reach 80s and maybe low 90s in a couple spots with a low heat risk lasting through next week as well. Our weather pattern will stay quiet, bit cooler early next week and remaining dry, then warming back up by mid week.

AIR QUALITY: Good

Sunday (Mother’s Day): AM coastal fog with a few low clouds lingering on the coast early. Cooler, with coastal highs in the upper 50s to around 70ºF. Mostly sunny with 70s to low 90s inland. Breezy onshore and up-valley winds in the afternoon and early evening.

Monday: Sunshine and mild but seasonal temps, especially at coast, with low heat risk inland. Highs in low to mid 60s coastal and upper 60s to upper 70s inland.

Extended: Clouds will be thicker and temperatures cooler on the coast early on next week and inland areas will begin to cool as well with morning valley clouds until mid-week. Some warming expected mid to late week both on the coast and inland.
