Wind and Rain to slowly exit Central Coast
The Central Coast will continue to see gusty winds, showers and possible thunderstorms Saturday night and Sunday, before a low pressure system moves to the east and drier conditions develop early next week.
Overnight: Cloudy with occasional showers and a slight chance of thunderstorms. Lows in the upper 40s and lower 50s. Southwest wind 9 to 17 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph.
Sunday: Showers likely, with a slight chance of thunderstorms. Highs in the upper 50s to lower 60s.
Sunday night: Mostly cloudy in the evening, then becoming partly cloudy. Patchy fog developing. Lows in the lower to mid 40s. Light winds.
Extended: Dry conditions are on tap for most of the week. A weak system will impact parts of northern California on Wednesday. It appears the best chances for rain will be north of San Francisco, where a few tenths of an inch is possible. Another system will arrive late Thursday or Friday in northern California, but the best chances for rain will remain north of the Golden Gate.
