Good Thursday Morning,

Yes, I got up way too early this morning . “ If bars were open, I got up before last call “ I am going to need a nap today.

Today I have good news with the smoke. Karina is arriving and pushing all the smoke to the East.

There is also another system moving into the Pacific northwest that will douse the fires there.

Last night we had some mild sundowner winds in SB, keeping us warmer into the evening. This will continue through Saturday.

That will keep temps in Santa Barbara warmer with less of a chance of fog locally due to north winds.

The rest of the areas will see cooler temps due to the colder air dropping from the system moving into the Pacific Northwest.

This will all translate into highs during the days in the low 80s and 60s at night in Santa Barbara.

The valleys will have highs in the mid 80s and cooler nights in the lower 50s.

Next week we are looking at seasonable temps with not a lot of changes. Few degrees cooler Monday and Tuesday with some fog.

Then slight warming on Wednesday. The real news however is the smoke, it will be nice to push that away from us.

Enjoy the blue skies.

Jack Martin
