Onshore flow will push more dense marine clouds into the area Thursday morning. Misting and drizzle is likely and we will kick off the month of May with a cool and cloudy start. Clouds will attempt to clear by the evening, some beaches will see a partly cloudy skies while other areas will see no clearing. Due to low pressure in Southern California, we have a chance for thunderstorms and showers this evening. We have a 10% chance for light showers, while thunderstorm chances are mostly in the mountains. Modeling indicates that the foothills will receive a little may shower or two, however we cant rule out a stray shower moving into Santa Barbara or Ventura. Any rain amounts will be small and storms are short lived. After 7pm we begin to dry out completely and clouds redevelop along the beaches.
We begin to warm up slightly on Friday as a mini ridge builds into the area. We will still see some misting and drizzle early in the morning from a dense layer of marine clouds however clearing will be quicker for most areas. Expect more sunshine and a short lived warming trend with temperatures back into the 60s and a handful of 70s. Winds are light and marine conditions will be slightly active but not up to high surf criteria…
