Low pressure keeps temperatures cool and creates strong winds

An area of low pressure moves into Southern California Monday morning bringing cooler than average temperatures and a rather unstable atmosphere. While we do have added moisture in the region and about a 20% chance of showers to develop, most models are show the Central Coast staying dry with the possibility for a hundredth of an inch or less. Highs for the day will be cooler than we would expect for this time in October, with the beaches warming into the low to middle 60s and 70s and middle 70s inland.

The fast moving low pressure system moves quickly out of the region Tuesday, meaning dry weather and warmer temperatures. Highs will be right around normal for this time and back into the 60s and 70s near the beaches and 80s for interior areas. The marine layer will be present in the morning and rather stubborn to clear.

By Wednesday, the marine layer will be back in full effect and may not clear near some beaches. Thursday and into the weekend look to be rather stagnant days, with high temperatures near average and morning clouds clearing by the evening. Winds will be something to monitor over the next week as some Wind Advisories may need to be issued.
