SYNOPSIS

22/1227 AM.

High pressure will bring warming to the area today, Monday and Tuesday with mostly clear to partly cloudy skies. By Tuesday high temperatures will be 8 to 12 degrees above normal.

LONG TERM (WED-SAT)

22/300 AM.

On Tuesday night there is just the barest of a chance of rain across the far northern portion of SLO county. Its likely that this chc will evaporate over the next 24 hours.

The area will remain under a ridge emanating from 589 dam upper high about 600 miles to south for the entire xtnd period. There will not be much of a sfc gradient push in either direction E or W but there will be a pretty steady offshore push from the N.

The weak flow in the E/W direction will allow for some morning low clouds each morning. There will also be some clouds pushing through the ridge bring partly-mostly cloudy skies to the area at time esp north of Pt Concpetion.

The offshore push from the north may bring some gusty winds to the N/S passes but they will not reach advisory levels.

Temps are what everyone will be talking about. Wednesday will have similar temps compared to Tuesday with highs mostly in the 70s and a few 80 or 81 degree readings across the csts/vlys. The ridge will strengthen some Thu and Fri and this will lead to 2 to 3 degrees of warming each day for almost all the area. Friday's highs will be 10 to 15 degrees over normal with cst/vly highs in the upper 60s at the beaches, the 70s and lower 80s across the csts and in the 80s in the vlys. Saturday will see little change in these very warm values.
