Good Tuesday morning,

The rain is over, but it was a success with total of 2 to 3 inches in the Santa Barbara area over the period Friday through Monday.

The big winner was Rocky Butte in SLO with 8.86 inches, locally San Marcos pass and Refugio pass both had over 3 inches.

So what’s up next? Well. the wind of course. Between the rain and the wind, it should be crystal clear out there today. You also need to check out the full moon.

Today we will see warming begin with temps a few degrees warmer.

Wednesday a weak low-pressure system will bring rain to SLO and northern Santa Barbara county ¼ inch or less. None here in southern Santa Barbara county.

Thursday, we start a nice warm up with offshore winds.

Friday through Monday it will be great weather for January with 70s and lots of sunshine.

Next week, it looks like the storm track returns Wednesday or Thursday, so enjoy the great weather, but don’t get to use to it.

We are getting into the shortest month of the year, but the wettest for southern California.

Enjoy the views today, the island should be picture perfect.
