Much of San Luis Obispo County woke up to a humid, drizzly day on Sunday thanks to \u201cmonsoonal moisture\u201d spreading across California.<\/p>\n

According to the National Weather Service,<\/a> \u201ca hot and muggy week\u201d is expected as an upper level high front brings tropical moisture from Mexico.<\/p>\n

This translates to warm, humid days \u2014 and yes, some chance of thunderstorms.<\/p>\n

\u201cMonsoonal moisture moving into the area will add to the discomfort, bringing shower and thunderstorm potential each day, highest in the mountains,\u201d the weather service said.<\/p>\n

During this, light showers are possible, \u201cespecially for San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties,\u201d the weather service said.<\/p>\n

The service warned the possibility of lightning was strongest in the interior sections of Los Angeles, Ventura, and Santa Barbara counties on Sunday afternoon, though \u201dan isolated lightning strike cannot be completely ruled out closer to the coast.\u201d<\/p>\n

This comes at the same time much of the Central Coast is still under an ongoing heat advisory<\/a> warning of temperatures near 100 degrees and an expected extreme heat watch starting Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The chance of actual showers will reduce as the week goes on, but the humidity will remain high, the agency said.<\/p>\n
