Good Saturday morning, 

It has been a crazy week just to the south of our area. It sounds like there are more than 10,000 structures lost from the fires 🔥 mainly in the Los Angeles area. 

Here in SB we have been dry, with little in the way of winds. The Santa’s ana winds always affect areas south of us From Ventura to Pasadena and to the ocean. We are all aware of the devastation from the Santa’s ana event. Fortunately there has been none locally, but many of us have friends that live in the fire areas that have lost their homes. 

We have had a long extended dry period. A matter of fact it is the second driest period on record. We need the rains to return, but this will not likely happen until the week of the 20th. Even that being said it is very difficult to know how rain will affect us, when it does occur.

Here is the 30day extended forecast

Bottom line there is no rain through at least mid week and the chance of rain at this point is slim for Southern California. A matter of fact we have 2 more Santa’s ana wind events likely from now into mid week. These winds will be lighter and likely in the 20 to 30 miles an hour range.

For us in wind sheltered Santa Barbara, no real wind events, highs in the upper 60s and lows in the upper 40s to low 50s. All the way into mid week.
 
We will hope for a break from this pattern and bring back rain. This is our rainy season with January and February being our wettest months typically.

Enjoy the sun and dry weather, but I am sure we are all wishing for some rain.

Enjoy your weekend 
Jack Martin
