SYNOPSIS

24/1147 PM.

A slow warming trend will begin today with Santa Ana winds. High temperatures will be 4 to 8 degrees above normal Monday and Tuesday. It will be cooler Wednesday and Thursday with another warming trend Friday through next weekend.

LONG TERM (WED-SAT)

25/308 AM.

Wednesday will be a cloudy and cooler day as a weak trof and front passes just to the north of the area. There is a small risk of an insignificant shower over SLO county. The lift from the trof will generate a healthy marine layer cloud deck and the trof will bring plenty of mid and high clouds to the area. The offshore flow will switch to weak onshore. Max temps will drop 3 to 6 degrees and will end up in the mid 60s to the lower 70s.

Ridging moves into the state on Thursday and will persist through the weekend. Offshore flow will develop as well and will be strongest on Friday where some advisory level gusts are possible. The ridging and offshore flow will combine to bring two days of warming and by Friday max temps will almost all be in the 70s across the csts and vlys which is 4 to 6 degrees above normal. Saturday's temps will be similar to Friday's.
