11/19/24

Another very chilly start to the day, especially in the valleys where it is 35 degrees. 

Some warming today as the sun rises and heats the surface, but highs will remain in the 60s. The next 3 days overall will be nice and dry conditions through Thursday. However we will see our first rains of the season this weekend. We are looking at 100% chance for rain. 

Take a look at the Pacific Northwest with lots of snow and heavy rain due to the atmospheric river over them right now https://search.app/skaWEGHwXp5jyaUu9

Looking at zoom earth you can see the huge system in the Pacific Northwest that will sag over the next few days and hammer nor cal. Zoom Earth | Live Weather Map &

This will bring days of rain to NorCal before reaching us late Friday into Saturday.

Where this low pressure system combines with sub tropical moisture to the north, we will only see the tail end of this system. Expect rain to start up on the central coast Friday morning. They will see the majority of the rain with approximately 1.25 inches in a 12 hour period. As it drops towards up we will see rain chance increase to 100% but rain totals we drop to 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch over our area. Santa Ynez will see the higher amounts and SB a little less. 

There will also be another chance for a system early thanksgiving week.
Bottom line stay tuned, lots of updates to follow. 

Enjoy the sun while it lasts
