Warming for the last week of February

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - It's the last week of February and high pressure is set to bring warmer conditions to the Central Coast.

Temperatures will warm until Tuesday, with mostly clear skies. By Tuesday, temperatures will be 8-12 degrees above normal. Offshore flow is increasing for Monday and Tuesday, bringing winds from the North East. A bit of breezy winds will persist in Ventura County and the canyons, but models show wind speeds will be below advisory levels.

By Wednesday, offshore flow decreases and temperatures remain. Onshore flow will slightly increase, resulting in some low level clouds. Due to high pressure sitting comfy over the region, it is blocking a series of storm systems and cooler temperatures.

For the second half of the work week, temperatures will rise further on Thursday and Friday, with many areas reaching the 80s. For the last week of February, it is going to be a bit different than how it was started with bright, warm and dry conditons! Enjoy.
