Good Tuesday morning, 

Finally after 6 weeks, we have rain on the way.

A cold low pressure system to the north will begin to drop south and rain will spread into our area tonight and Wednesday.

Last night the wind was blowing pretty hard from the Northwest, most of the night.

Expect more wind this morning, and a cool day.

Good Thursday morning,

Yesterday was an interesting day with chilly temps, wind and a little rain.

This was all created by the cut-off low, wobbling down the coast.

You might remember yesterday’s forecast saying the low was behaving well, then it had to test me by wobbling closer to us for a short time creating some rain.

All in all, we barely had much of a rain with totals of 1/100 to 5/100.

It did create some excitement for a product we have not seen in 5 weeks.

Good Wednesday morning,

The cut off low is behaving well and is now 300 miles west of LA.

This is throwing mid and high clouds our way, creating a great sunrise.

Today will be a cooler day, with highs in the low 60s, even a 20% chance of rain.

Should the cut off low wobble towards us, making a little northerly push.

Otherwise, it will be just a cooler day with onshore flow. 

There is even a little dampness in the air today. 

Good Tuesday morning,

There she is. The little cut off low spinning out in the Pacific. 

She is around 500 miles south west of SFO.

This low pressure system will wobble south of us, then move East over Orange County and San Diego Wednesday afternoon. The only real affect it will have is temps will be 10 to 15 degrees cooler, on Wednesday.

Good Friday morning Again,

Another work week is winding down, then the weekend arrives.

Today we will have a warm nice day with winds calming in Ventura and south.

Temps today will be in the low 70s and a nice warm day.

Tonight, the next inside slider arrives, bringing wind to SB tonight and Saturday.

Good Tuesday morning, 

Wow what a wind storm at my house last night. If you live northwest facing, you know what I mean. 

Today, one more day of advisory northwest winds then they shift to the North East.

Good Thursday morning,

Our weather pattern feels winter like, but it will only bring us spring like winds.

Spring weather generally brings us more wind events than rain. That is really our forecast for the next week.

Today there is a weak low pressure system to the north, beginning to affect the Bay Area.

This will work it’s way down the coast and bring a little rain to SLO and maybe Santa Ynez.

Good Wednesday morning, 

Our weather for the next week is more like the Pacific Northwest than Southern California. 

What do I mean by that? Well days are cooler with below normal temps. Rain chances are in the forecast Thursday and Saturday nights, but rain totals and the type of intensity is very Seattle like.

Trust me I lived there .... and why I moved South.

Good Tuesday morning,

It is a chilly morning, with many areas seeing fog this morning. Overall, it will be a chilly February day, with Jackets needed.

One thing about today is, it was 60 years ago that the Beatles debut love me two.
