Weather headlines:

– A cooling trend is expected through Monday, with temperatures falling to near or below normal in most areas by Monday.

– Low clouds will continue to spread from night to morning, pushing further inland each day through Monday.

– Gusty northwest winds are expected to affect southern Santa Barbara County and the Interstate 5 Corridor during the late afternoon and evening hours this weekend.

-The cool weather will last at least until Thursday.

Detailed forecast:

A weak trough moving through Northern California will provide cooling with increasing stratus coverage through the weekend, possibly extending into the valleys this evening or Sunday night.

High temperatures will be below normal in most areas starting Sunday and are likely to persist through most of the work week.

Increasing northerly winds are expected in southwestern Santa Barbara County and the I-5 corridor area as the low moves inland and a northerly flow develops on the backside of the low.

A wind advisory is in effect for southwest Santa Barbara County until 5 a.m. Sunday, but slightly weaker winds are expected near the I-5 corridor.

Tuesday will remain below normal, but with an upper ridge briefly developing over the area and a very slight offshore trend, high temperatures could increase a few degrees during Monday.

Have a great day, Central Coast!
