Heat advisory issued for SLO County. Here’s how hot it will get before relief arrives
Another wave of fall heat has prompted an advisory in parts of San Luis Obispo County, but don’t worry: It won’t last long and relief is on the way.
The National Weather Service issued a heat advisory on Thursday morning for much of the county as unseasonably warm temperatures for October hit the area for the third day in a row.
The northern inland areas of the county will see the highest temperatures, including the Santa Lucia Mountains and valleys.
Paso Robles and San Miguel are expected to see highs in the upper 90s by this afternoon, while Atascadero and Templeton could see the mercury rise to the low 90s.
“Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors,” the Weather Service said in its heat advisory on Thursday. “Young children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles under any circumstances.”
The heat advisory doesn’t include areas such as San Luis Obispo or coastal towns and cities.
However, San Luis Obispo residents should still expect a toasty day, with temperatures reaching the high 80s.
What’s next in SLO County’s forecast?
On Friday and into the weekend, the Weather Service predicts a cool-down for the Central Coast.
Temperatures likely will barely breach the low 90s for areas such as Paso Robles and San Miguel, while remaining in the low 80 degrees for Atascadero and Templeton.
San Luis Obispo should see temperatures in the high 70s. Coastal areas can expect fair weather in the high 60s.
Saturday, Paso Robles and San Miguel will likely see cooler temperatures in the high 70s. Atascadero, Templeton and San Luis Obispo will be in the low 70s, the Weather Service predicts.
Meanwhile, coastal areas will experience temperatures in the low 60s.
