A lower upper level will bring cooler and windier weather to the Central Coast this weekend. Morning clouds will clear this afternoon, but highs will only rise into the 60s along the coast and into the 70s inland. Winds will also increase, with gusts reaching 30 mph along the coast and 40 mph inland. On east-west mountain passes, wind gusts may be even stronger, so use caution when traveling. Sunday could be a little warmer with more sunshine overall, with highs still in the 60s and 70s. A Beach Hazard Statement is in effect until the middle of next week due to persistent southerly flow. The surge will bring an increased risk of strong rip currents and waves to all Central Coast beaches, particularly south and south west facing beaches. A large drop in the jet stream will keep temperatures below average for many next week before we see a warming trend in time for the Fourth of July weekend.
