11/18/24

Good Monday morning,

Chilly out there this morning, 37 in Santa Ynez and 48 in Santa Barbara.

A cold system in the Pacific northwest will do nothing more for us then bring on more winds here https://zoom.earth/

North winds will pick up today 25 to 35 miles and hour. As we get into our week, we will see the winds shift to the Northeast creating another Santa Ana event.

It will be a weak Santa ana event, so nothing crazy. This will be quite a cool week, with freezing temps for valleys over night and highs only in the 60s. 3 to 6 degrees below normal

The good news is the mountain fire is now out.

It looks like not much excitement this week, Thursday a weak ridge builds in, but it breaks down on Friday.

Now the excitement begins over the weekend. Our first rain is looking likely sometime this weekend.

A cold low will drop over the area likely Saturday or Sunday. this will bring heavy rain to the north, but as it drops south the punch goes away. 

It looks like SLO mountains will see 1 to 2 inches. SLO ¾ of an inch and Santa Barbara ¼ to ½ inch.

Rain chances will also be going into the Thanksgiving week. The exact timing is still under review, but it does look like we will finally see our first system of this season.

Stay tuned, more Action updates to come.
