Its June, right? Several outlets have been chatting about how curious the weather has been of late. While not like super weird, it has been a tad bit peculiar. For instance, the fact that the fog never materialized early this week in Santa Cruz with light morning onshore flow. In fact, most of the bay was clear by 9AM on Monday and stayed that way through most of the week. Rumor has it that some spots near Half Moon Bay had fog. Figures. Anyway, the forecast. With the weekend approaching I figure an update was in order. In short, it looks pretty good for the next few days. The ocean breeze should back off a bit tonight, inviting fog back in for the morning. With a little luck, I'll be wrong on this, but I think the sunshiny mornings will be put on hold. Low 50s overnight. Warming up into the mid and upper 70s, but it sure feels warm if you are out of the wind. And chances are you can avoid it through the weekend, with less of the strong north west filling into town. It is still gonna howl in the afternoons on the open ocean. White cap city. More of the same on Saturday. And a big change for Sunday.

Chance for rain. Well, for us, it is mostly just fun to say. NOAA is posting up a 20% chance right now, but I think they are just trying to keep people ready. Marin has a greater chance, and if you are chilling in Pt Arena, you can pretty much expect some rain by Sunday night into Monday. Back down here in Santa Cruz we can expect that the fogs and clouds will conspire to give a fair amount of grey. Some sun may come out. This storm is not packing a whole bunch of cold, but it will be a bit cooler than today. Something that would be noticeable to some is the winds are likely to shift from the south, and with luck, it will be light. Monday looks pretty foggy overall, with a south flow in place. We could be stuck in the mid to upper 60s. Similar on Tuesday with the fog clearing a bit earlier. Strong northwest flow returns mid week, with less fog and warmer temperatures like today. Or even warmer.
Anyway, the big thing is it could rain on you this coming Sunday night into Monday. Roads will be slippery. Check your yards and make sure you did not leave your Walkman out on the deck. Think about where your rain coat is. Chance increase significantly as you head north, but anyone north of Big Sur should at least keep an eye on the sky. And it looks like we could get a more significant SW by Wednesday and some mid period NW on Thursday. Until then, small S groundswell and small NW wind swell. Make due and have fun.
