Warming trend begins Monday, tracking heat advisory

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Happy Monday! A warming trend will begin for the Central Coast today. Weak onshore flow will bring limited marine layer for the beaches and coastal valley areas every night into the early morning hours.

A warming trend begins today and temperatures will be in the 70s to 90s depending on your micro climate. A heat advisory will go into place for the valleys and inland areas of the region on Tuesday at 10 a.m. Temperatures will reach 90 to 103 degrees with mountain areas being a concern for strong heat. Overnight low are expected to feel more on the warmer side, so it is important to check on loved ones this week and stay hydrated.
