  • From a Scale of 37 to 234: How I’m Feeling About This ‘Ending - DaveHovde.com

    4 days ago | davehovde.com | Dave Hovde

    There’s a certain script one expects when a long chapter approaches its close. A quiet winding down, perhaps a touch of melancholy, the gradual turning of a page.

  • Clouds will be stubborn at times this week

    5 days ago | ksby.com | Dave Hovde

    The Central Coast is entering a period of unsettled weather today with plenty of stubborn cloud cover and a low chance of some rainfall at higher elevations in the interior. This is a somewhat normal "June gloom" pattern and it’ll be with us into the coming weekend.

  • Advisory level heat arrives inland but temperature rollercoaster continues next week

    Central Coast Braces for Dramatic Warming, Peak Heat Expected FridayThe Central Coast is in for a significant heat event as temperatures climb well above normal today and Friday, peaking tomorrow. While inland valleys will experience considerable heat, coastal areas will see milder conditions due to a persistent (if a little diminished) marine layer. There's also a slight chance of showers or thunderstorms this weekend, mostly impacting the southern areas and higher elevations.

  • Heat advisory issued for inland heat to end the week

    1 week ago | ksby.com | Dave Hovde

    Dramatic warming is expected late this week for places away from the ocean, with above-normal temperatures Thursday through Saturday, peaking on Friday. Night through morning low clouds and fog will remain confined to the beaches Friday and Saturday. The Central Coast is under the influence of an upper-level trough, within which a cut-off low has developed to our southwest. This low will slowly move southward off the Baja Peninsula before curving back north and eventually moving east on Monday.

  • Hot weather returns Thursday and Friday

    1 week ago | ksby.com | Dave Hovde

    Temperatures have begun their gradual upward trend today as a trough is leaving the region, bringing daytime highs across the coastal plains into the 70s, with low 80s for the valleys. Onshore flow will persist through Wednesday, limiting the immediate coastal warmth, and inland areas will continue to see rising temperatures. Expect marine layer clouds to affect most coasts and some valleys each night and morning. These clouds may cling to some beaches into the afternoons, especially on Wednesday.

Temps were sluggish again today near the coast while inland temps warmed. We should see a little coastal warming Thursday before temps again sag this weekend. https://t.co/xhXsPZ0DKk

Another trough slides in Friday and Saturday to cool temps again...but next week will feature a ridge driving temps above normal around the middle of the week. https://t.co/bU8FSes5Ww

The model has been a little aggressive with cloud development, but they are off the coast this afternoon. Modeling suggests those clouds will be in and out in the night and morning hours, keeping any dynamic temperature movement to a minimum. https://t.co/LBblAFRJt7
