Marine layer in firm control, Monday June 9th forecast
Another very typical June day with mostly seasonal temperatures and plenty of coastal fog. Look for the marine layer to ramp up again for the overnight and in to early Monday. Could even some spotty drizzle in areas as the marine layer thickens up late. North to northwest winds will help to keep the clouds at bay for some of our southerly facing coastlines and a Wind Advisory is in effect for the Gaviota region through early Monday. Looking for a similar marine layer clearing pattern on Monday with some fog lingering along the coast possibly all day. Temperatures will be mostly in the 60's to right about 70 degrees for our beach communities. Inland areas will see plenty of sunshine and afternoon highs warming in to the upper 70's, 80's and even a few 90's.
Looking ahead, we should see a pretty uneventful weather pattern for the second full week of June. That means more fog and breezy northwesterly winds along with seasonal temperatures. Low pressure to our west will push east and be replaced by weak high pressure, but that shouldn't really change the overall weather picture. The only variable will be the strength of our northwesterly winds. If they kick up and turn slightly more northerly, that can help to scour out the fog for most areas. If the winds are weaker or turn more westerly, that can deepen the marine layer for most coastal areas. Again, we see no big shocks to forecast ahead at this time. Just more of the very seasonal and mild stuff we are known and envied for.
