Big Drop in Temps Wednesday
Your forecast for Monterey, Santa Cruz, San Benito, and southern Santa Clara Counties…. Wednesday will be much different! A dry subtropical low to our south will migrate northward, cooling temperatures aloft and allowing for the deepening of the marine layer—which will also be reinforced by a weak cold front moving down the coast. Temperatures will drop 5-15ºF on the coast and 10-20ºF inland day to day! That, and low clouds will return to the coast and may not let up throughout the day. We’ll have a similarly cool (and coastal cloudy) day on Thursday as the low passes by, then warm up a bit on Friday as the ridge nudges back in from the southwest.
