Good Wednesday morning,

The only excitement in the sky was the eclipse at 4am. If you missed it, Adam and I have you covered.

As far as the weather goes. There is not a lot of changes for the next week.

Good Wednesday morning, 

Sunshine and wind is the forecast. The good news with wind, it blows the fog off shore. Last night the winds were from Refugio to Gaviota. SB really did not get much. 

This condition is making for a clear morning with warmer temps today. Highs today will be in the upper 70s.

What a great start to Tuesday. It is nice to see Sunshine to start the day.

It has been awhile.

High pressure is building in and we are expecting a sundowner wind event tonight.

Good Thursday morning,

A special shout out to Dan “Happy Birthday #60” welcome to the club it is not that bad …” 

May gray is in full swing, and as you walk outside you will find all the streets wet.

It does look like we will be damp and wet all weekend as low pressure will create some drizzle.

Good Tuesday morning, 

High pressure to the East and North winds off the coast, spells a counterclockwise rotation over Catalina. Known as an Eddy or depending how you spell it Eddie 😂, “What the heck I had A cousin named Eddie”. 

So , I named it after him ..... 

Ok I guess I was not the first one to see this from the sky, but the first one that name it Eddie 😩

Good foggy morning, 

I hope everyone had a great Mothers day. It sure was nice to have family around.

Today it is just damp and foggy out there with a deep marine layer:

There is a rotating Eddie to the south that is blanking the coast with clouds.

Today, do not expect clearing along the coast, and most valleys will see fog into the afternoon.

Good morning daylight, no sunshine today,

Onshore flow is deepening the marine layer this morning. Fog levels are at 2200 feet with some valleys seeing fog to start the day.

Today the fog will break in the valleys late this morning, but along the coast it will stick around into the later afternoon. Expect a cooler day in the lower 70s.

Good Tuesday morning, 
High pressure has created an Eddie circulation forming off shore, which is pushing the fog to the north. This is beginning to blanket the coastal areas:

With the fog, it will keep the coast cooler, and the valleys warmer. Coastal areas all week, will remain in the 70s, with clearing in the afternoons Tuesday and Wednesday.

Good Friday morning,

One last day of hot weather and the last day of April before we usher in May.

Wow how about the weather last night, it was just fantastic. I sat outside on the patio and watched the NFL draft. It felt like summer. 
Today we will see summer like weather again with highs in the 80s and 90s for all.
