Changes come into Friday as winds shift back onshore and help push low clouds back into the forecast. Cooler weather can then be expected through the weekend.

Air Quality: Good to Moderate

**FROST ADVISORY**

... for all of Monterey, Santa Cruz, San Benito, and South Santa Clara Counties with the exception of the "north coast" of Santa Cruz in effect until 9AM Friday.

*Frost could harm sensitive outdoor vegetation. Sensitive outdoor plants may be killed if left uncovered. Cold conditions will be hazardous to sensitive populations such as unhoused individuals. Cold Conditions can lead to hypothermia with prolonged exposure.

This Morning: Increasing low clouds at the coast, otherwise clear. Coastal lows in the 30s-40s with 20s-30s inland.

Friday: Partly to mostly cloudy on the coast, otherwise mostly clear. Much cooler with coastal highs in the 50s and 50s to low 60s inland. Windy up valleys late in the day.

Extended: Onshore flow will keep temperatures cooler into the weekend, with most areas in the 50s to low 60s. Slow warming can be expected into next week as high pressure rebuilds over the West Coast. There is some wind potential early in the week, which we'll keep an eye on. In the meantime, a return to wet weather still looks to hold off until after the 25 or so.
