Christmas Eve Weather

Good morning from rainy San Francisco,

Yes, woke this morning to see the rain. It has been quite absent from southern California weather. Sadly this trend will likely continue for SB south.

Not if you are looking for snow. There is lots of that in the Sierras. It is snowing there right now as we speak.

The low that is bringing rain and snow to Northern California right now will sag south this afternoon.

Clouds will appear this afternoon and rain will begin north of Santa Barbara.

Everyone in Santa Ynez and north will see rain.As for Santa Barbara, well the mountains of SB will block us again. If any rain occurs it will be very light.

Wind will usher in our Christmas morning in SB. The wind event will not be as bad as Tuesday, but you will still know it is out there.

Friday will also be very cold in areas. SB will not be as cold because of wind, but grape vine might see snow. If so the 101 will be a real mess.

The weekend is sunny and warm. Santa Anna wind event, will keep SB warm and sunny.

Lots of wind in Ventura south.

Next week, a weak system Monday then dry though Wednesday .

Merry Christmas to all
