Good Monday morning, 

I hope everyone had a nice weekend, even if it was cool and foggy. 

Today will be more of the same, with fog and little to no clearing.

The high in Santa Barbara will only be in the low 60s. It is 58 now and it will only warm 5 to 7 degrees all day,You will need your sweatshirt most of the day.

Good Monday morning,

Great full moon last night with a photo of the moon rise over Ed’s house, and set at mine.

Today and Tuesday, northeast winds will warm us up for 2 days. 

It will be a nice few days with clear skies and highs around 80in Santa Barbara.

Valleys will be warmer in the upper 80s. Here is how it looks from above https://zoom.earth/

Wednesday, the warm weather goes away, and a cool down begins on the first official day of Fall.

As we get towards the weekend, it looks like we will see a cut off low form.

Remember these? We have not talked about them for at least 6 months.

Confidence is low, but rain is not out of the question.

Stay tuned, but don’t get your hopes too high. It is still only September.

We will likely have 1 more month before we see our first rain of the new season.

Good Thursday morning,

Shorter days and mid-September mean’s Fall is upon us.

We are in a cool down as low pressure is affecting our weather with lower temps.

Highs in the valley will be 80 degrees and lows are going to start dipping into the upper 40s.

Good Tuesday morning, 

A little late today, but busy morning. 

Today it feels like fall is in the air. Last night the fog drifted in at Las Positas and lead to a damp start to out morning. It will be an overall cooler day along the coast high of 69, but valleys will still reach 90 today. Cooler nights (fall weather) with lows in santa Ynez of 52, SB 56. 

Good Monday morning, 

It will be a calm week weather wise, with inland areas cooling into the 80s and coastal in the mid 70s. Today we will start out with fog in most locations then clearing, a damp start to the day.

Really all week will be quiet here in California. Highs in the 80s inland and 70s coastal.

Good Friday morning,

There is lots of Action north and south of us.

To the north, the good news is there is cooler weather and some rain in northern California helping the fires.

To the South, Cabo has taken a beating with Hurricane Olaf, now just to the north of Cabo. 

Good Thursday morning, 

It will be a hot day for all locations except for the beach cities. 

The state has call for a second day with flex alerts as AC will be cranked up in the inland areas. Only the natural air conditioner “Pacific Ocean “ will not be under a flex alert.

Good Tuesday morning,

Interesting, looking though the entire US it is mostly clear with no rain, except for near the Canada-Great Lakes border.

Here at home we are starting out with a tropical morning and 70 degrees.

Good Tuesday morning and the last day in August,  

Looks like there are a few light showers out there is morning over the Eastern Santa Barbara mountains. This really should not amount to more then a few 100s of an inch of rain.

The real change will be in the temps, 10 to 15 degrees cooler in the valleys with 4 to 6 degrees along the coast with a deeper marine layer.

Good Monday morning, 

I hope everyone had a great weekend. Now it is back to work.

No real excitement in our weather this week.

Highs in SB will be in the mid 70s and valleys mid 80s starting Tuesday. 

Today will be the last hot day in the inland areas with 90s . Before a cool down on Tuesday
