4/10/24

Good morning,

Just look outside right now, it is going to be a perfect day. highs today for all will be in the 70s and 80s.

One of those chambers of commerce days, high pressure and weak offshore flow will make today and Thursday great, warm days with above normal temps.

Thursday coastal areas will cool a few degrees due to onshore flow, but foothills and mountains will be even warmer then today.

You would never know it looking out there and at the satellite that rain is on the way... https://zoom.earth/maps/satellite/#view=43.8,-118.9,4z  (look up well to the north in Alaska)

The change arrives Friday with cooler temps and onshore flow. It looks like maybe some fog Friday and a much cooler day.

Friday afternoon into Friday evening a storm out of the gulf of Alaska arrives. This is a cold storm. Snow level very low at 5500 feet especially for this time of year.

Rain Friday night and Saturday for all, maybe some showers Sunday. How much rain  models are still all over the board but this system that will spin counter clockwise down the coast. This means more rain for Santa Barbara and south facing mountains. 1 to 2 inches in the hills, and .5 to 1 inch coastal. Central coast and south facing areas will see the most rainfall.  It is just crazy that rain just keeps coming this year, and this weekend is no different. If you look at the past 5 weekends, we have received rain 4 out of the 5 and the one we did not see rain last weekend, but it rained Thursday and Friday. just crazy and hopefully this is going to stop.

Next week does look like we will see dry weather and warming again

Enjoy the next 2 days, it will be fantastic, but another wet weekend is ahead of us.
