SLO County weather forecast for the week of Nov. 28: Clear skies and warm afternoons
A tranquil weather pattern is forecast on Sunday through Friday. The clear skies will continue to produce cool overnight lows and warm afternoons.
High pressure will build over California and produce a pattern of gusty Santa Lucia (northeasterly/offshore) winds developing during the night and morning, shifting out of the northwest during the afternoon. This condition will produce dry and benign weather through next weekend as high pressure resides over the Central Coast and the storm track remains over the Pacific Northwest.
Daytime high temperatures will be around 5 and 10 degrees above average, with subtle day-to-day changes throughout the week. The inland valleys (Paso Robles) will see overnight lows in the mid-30s and daytime highs in the high 70s. The beaches and coastal valleys (San Luis Obispo) will reach the high 70s to low 80s.
Dense Tule fog will likely continue to develop across the Central Valley each night, with daytime temperatures remaining largely dependent on how quickly the fog clears.
While some long-range models suggest high pressure could begin to break down next weekend, forecast confidence is still low regarding any significant pattern shift over the next 7-10 days with the promise of rain.
Surf report
Sunday’s 5- to 7-foot northwesterly (290-degree, deep-water) swell (with an 8- to 16-second period) will remain at this level through Friday.
Seawater temperatures will range between 54 and 57 degrees through Friday.
