What’s next in the weather forecast?
After what feels like never-ending rainstorms for most of this year, San Luis Obispo County is in line for some warmer — and drier — weather this week.
According to meteorologist John Lindsey, Monday should bring mostly clear skies, with low marine clouds and pockets of fog and mist along the coastline and coastal valleys.
Those should clear during the afternoon, however, “allowing the sun to shine along the beaches,” Lindsey said in his weekly forecast.
High temperatures are expected to reach the low-to-mid 80s inland and in coastal valleys, while beaches will likely be in the 60s, he said.
The exception would be in Cayucos, Avila Beach and Shell Beach, which could hit the low 70s, he said.
