Mild for now with wind on the way, Friday May 15th forecast

More fog today with breezy winds and cool to mild temperatures across the region. We will see more fog through the overnight and in to early Friday,  Temperatures will likely stay fairly mild through Friday with highs ranging from the 60's near the coast, to the 70's and a few 80's inland. Winds will stay fairly quiet through Friday with some moderate gusts possible near the Gaviota and Point Conception  region. 

Looking ahead, our Spring weather pattern has been very well behaved with mostly seasonal conditions prevailing. This will continue in to the beginning of the weekend before a passing cold front changes things up. Cooler air is expected with much of the marine layer being scoured out through late Saturday. Winds will increase with advisories or even warnings possible by late Saturday and then in to Sunday. The winds will be from the north northwest which means ocean conditions will get very stormy. Short period wind swell will kick up big waves with lots of strong currents making for dangerous beach and sailing conditions. In addition to that, this type of wind flow will likely also turn the water over and drop our water temperatures significantly. Air temperatures through the weekend will continue to see a mix of cool to mild readings. Winds should quiet down by Monday as more fog develops with a return of our consistent friend May Gray.
