Good Wednesday morning,

Rolling out of bed this morning, you should just open your door and feel the warmth. It is 66 degrees out there right now at this early hour.

This was all thanks to those north west winds last night in SB that blew me off my outside deck. Needless to say, it is going to be a warm day. Highs should bring us into the low 80s with just great weather for the next 3 days.

Good Tuesday morning,

Last night, the winds reminded us that it is springtime as north winds picked up around sunset. 

Today we start the transition from Spring to summer weather. Today the Mercury will begin to climb with nice weather in the mid 70s and lots of liquid gold.

Wednesday through Friday, it is all about warmer to hot. Wednesday, most locations will hit the 80 degree mark.

Good Thursday morning,

Can you say April showers? Well the models are now coming together with the rain becoming likely for Sunday night into Monday.

For today, it will be a foggy day with dampness. The marine layer has deepened and can even bring some drizzle for the morning. It will be a cool day, with highs in the low to mid 60s.

Good Wednesday morning,

Very interesting weather out there. Zoom out and look towards the Philippines. You will see a typhoon way to the west. This is the system that could possibly create rain early next week. The Jury is still out on this, because the forecast models all vary on the rain possibility.

Good Tuesday morning,

Sunny skies to start the day in SB but a cooler week is on the way. 
The Santa Ynez valley is starting with fog today.

Today, expect some cooling with highs in the upper 60s. Fog rolls in tonight for most, keeping the lows a little higher. 

Good Monday morning, 

It sounds like it was a fantastic day Sunday in Southern California. Camarillo hit a high of 89 degrees, LAX 87 degrees to break a record in both locations. Santa Barbara also tied there record high at 79 degrees.

Oh my, it is April 15th. The day my bank account takes a hit.

I hate the idea of working my.......off and giving the state-feds half my earning.

They certainly do not work as hard for it.... Ok enough of my rant. 

The consolation prize is, we are starting a warming trend with a nice 5 days ahead of us.

Today some areas are starting out with fog, but the marine layer is half of what it has been this week.

Santa Barbara is clear thanks to the Northwest winds last night.

A weak Eddie to the south has some low clouds to start there day, then clearing by mid morning.

Good Tuesday morning, 

We are Starting the day with fog throughout the coast and most valleys.

This is thanks to low pressure to the north, bring onshore flow. 

Tonight and Wednesday, more of the same. Even some drizzle possible towards LA, cooler days in the 60s.

Thursday, we start to break out of the fog with some warming and more sun.

Friday more sun and slight warming.

Good Monday morning, 

Yes, another start to the work week.

This week, however, will look a little different then we have had in the past.

We are welcoming back fog, which really has not played much of a role in our forecast in the last 5 months. We will also remain cooler through midweek with highs in the upper 60s.

Good Friday morning,

It was a nice day Thursday, until the wind came up in the evening. Driving home after work, it was 77 degrees last night.

The weather will be just fantastic today. Highs will be in the 70s and some 80s, but more winds tonight again.
