Thursday evening forecast – Jan. 23rd

High pressure will keep the area dry through Saturday with slightly above normal temperatures. A very weak cold front will bring increasing cloudiness and a slight chance of rain to mainly northern areas Sunday, along with a return to normal temperatures. Dry and breezy conditions are expected Monday through Wednesday with above normal temperatures.

Lots of 70s today, even some across parts of the central coast.  Expecting more of the same Friday and Saturday, though possibly just very slight cooling near the coast.  Some patchy dense fog is possible across interior San Luis Obispo County later tonight as moisture tries to push in from the Central Valley.

The upper ridge responsible for this warm/dry weather is expected to shift east Sunday allowing a weak trough to move in from the

west. This will mostly stay north of us but like so many have done this month some clouds and isolated light precipitation are possible.  During this time we will also see a couple degrees of cooling dropping into the mid 60s in areas that have been enjoying 70s.

Following the Sunday trough weak ridging will return through mid week and then much stronger ridging for the latter half of the week. 

For now little to no measurable precipitation expected in the extended forecast.
