Central Coast Poised for December Warm Spell With Near-80 Temperatures Next Week

A strengthening high-pressure ridge will push temperatures higher, with the warmest readings expected Tuesday and Wednesday.

Overview

Inland freeze risk lingered through early Friday in San Luis Obispo County as Santa Ana winds eased from earlier in the week.
Saturday and Sunday trend milder with highs in the 60s and low 70s, clearer skies, calmer seas, patchy morning fog, and occasional breezes.
Forecasters expect the strongest warming Tuesday and Wednesday with a 5–10 degree jump, bringing near-80 readings to parts of the Central Coast.
Local forecasts call for San Luis Obispo to reach the 70s by Monday, Paso Robles by Tuesday, and Santa Maria to approach about 79 degrees by Wednesday.
A Beach Hazards Statement remains in effect through Saturday and a Small Craft Advisory is posted until December 7 at 3:00 a.m.
