WEATHER STORY
Cool air filters into the region left behind from a passing cold front. Cool conditions will continue into Sunday and Monday before the next, stronger system arrives Monday night into Tuesday morning. This one looks to bring light to moderate rain to the region.
Sunday: Mostly sunny but cool with most areas seeing highs in the 60s.
Overnight: Periods of high clouds, otherwise clear and chilly. Expect lows in the 40s on the coast and 30s-40s inland.
Monday: Not much change in conditions, temperatures will continue to be seasonably cool, and skies mostly sunny. High clouds will start to move in late in the afternoon ahead of a cold front. Light scattered rain possible late Monday night becoming more widespread through the overnight hours. Expect temperatures to be mostly in the low to mid-60s along the coast, with upper 60s inland.
Extended: Light to moderate rain on Tuesday for most areas. By mid-week, we'll start to see drier, warmer, and sunnier weather across the Central Coast as a ridge of high pressure starts to build back in.
