Low temperatures will vary between mid-40s and low 50s. Scattered showers are likely to arrive heading into the weekend as a low-pressure system moves in Wednesday. The Santa Cruz Mountains and Santa Lucia Range will probably get the most precipitation – from 1” to 1.5”. Winds will moderate at around 10 mph and gusts may reach 17-19 mph along the coastline and at higher elevations. The unstable atmosphere will help with ventilation and keeping PM2.5 (smoke) AQIs at GOOD. Rain and moist conditions will keep PM10 (dust) AQIs at GOOD. Ozone levels should remain below State standards and therefore ozone AQIs will remain GOOD.
