Good Monday morning, 

Low pressure has moved south and now is creating some rain and lighter showers. 

The low pressure system has drifted further to the west than predicted. This is very visible on the satellite view:

Because the low is further off shore, Ventura will just see a trace of rain and LA no rain.

Santa Barbara and the central coast around 1/4 of an inch.

This afternoon the low drops further south and remains west. This will allow Northeast winds to take over.

Santa Ana wind event will begin this afternoon. 25 to 35 mile an hour winds are likely. Winds continue into Tuesday for all areas Ventura and south to Catalina. 

For all Tuesday through the weekend will remain dry with no rain. 

Tuesday and Wednesday will remain below normal temps with highs in the mid 60s.

Thursday we begin to warm up and by Friday into the weekend above normal temps are expected. Looks like we will see 70s for the first time in awhile.

Santa winds will continue Wednesday into Friday as high pressure and off shore flow builds stronger. 

All in all we are poised for a dry period and warming temps at the end of the week.

Have a good week and New Years is almost upon us.
