Good Tuesday morning,

The rain here really has not materialized to this point, but it is extremely interesting how much rain has fallen just to the north.

Pismo beach has seen 2.5 inches. Paseo 2 inches and normally drier Santa maria has seen an inch. Here just a little over ¼ of an inch and only 1/10 of an inch yesterday.

The reason for this is the low has not pushed the moisture stream over us, as it has stayed to the north.  The parent lows circulation is not even noticeable any more

Today a warm start to the day 57 degrees in SB and in Santa Ynez. I do think we will finally see rain, but lighter amounts as a southerly moisture will reach us mid-morning today. Today we should see around ¼ of an inch locally.

Rainfall will remain lighter more Seattle like, with light rain and drizzle. Rain chances will end tonight and Wednesday we will see the sun again, just in time for the holiday. Wednesday should be in the upper 60s to 70 degrees and Thanksgiving day a light Santa Ana event will begin to warm us up through the rest of the week, with highs into the low 70s. It will be one of the Holidays that we can go to the beach and send photos and videos to family in the Midwest and on the East coast.

Dry weather is expected through the week, and it will be a great holiday weekend to be in Santa Barbara.

All in all we will call this a fire drill for rain chances since we have talked about it, and it really has been extremely light.

The Thanksgiving holiday is fast approaching so let’s gear up for sunshine and great weather

Enjoy, we will talk about warmer and sun on Wednesday
