Thursday morning forecast April 30th

Santa Barbara, Calif. - We're ending the month of April along the California Central Coast and South Coast, with a foggy morning followed by a windy afternoon for most areas. The marine layer will get pushed back over the ocean late this morning, and the wind will clear our sky and warm our temperatures. Highs will rise into the 70s and 80s from the coasts to the inland valleys.

The first day of May will continue the windy weather trend for a large portion of California as a trough settles over the West Coast. Although the wind won't be as strong on Saturday, it will still be an unsettled day. We can expect stronger wind to return to our area Sunday and next Monday, with weaker breezes and warmer temperatures for our area next Tuesday and Wednesday.

Daytime highs will remain at or above average from today through the first week of May, with the coolest temperatures over the weekend. HIghs will range from the 70s along the coast to the 80s in our inland valleys. Overnight lows will also remain well above average due to the wind and a warmer airmass. Lows will range from the upper 40s to the 50s and lower 60s.
