Good Thursday morning, 

Not a lot of excitement with the weather the next few days except for high surf on the central coast today, however, look out for late in the weekend. It is looking like we will see lots of rain, especially in Santa Barbara.

This system is still well to the north and will take its time getting here.

Good morning, 

It is that day. April Fools! With all joking aside, I hope there are not April Fools jokes today. None from me at least.

Yesterday was a great warm day. Highs were in the mid 70s . It  was nice to think that warmer weather is on its way. 

Today, however, will be a little cooler as off shore weakens and onshore comes back.

Today will bring highs in the upper 60s, with the central coast cooling off around 10 degrees from yesterday.

Good Tuesday morning,

Here we go. The last day of March, with a new month starting Wednesday.

March will end a long month with a great day, we will see the warmest day of this week.

Highs should be in the 70s everywhere, due to off shore winds. areas to the south will even see warmer weather.

With some Santa Ana winds, our weather will continue to be nice all week, but Wednesday night, winds should shift to the northwest and create some sun downer winds here in SB.

Good Monday morning,

Last Monday in March, and we do NOT have any chances of rain in the forecast this week.

As a matter of fact, it will be spring in the air all week with warmer temps. It looks like all areas will see 70s all week long.

High pressure has built in and we will see off shore flow, with some Northeast winds in the Ventura south areas.

Good Saturday morning, 

Another chilly start to our day, but warmth is in our forecast for next week. 

Today we will see sunny skies and highs in the mid 60s again.

Tonight and Sunday, a weak system will bring a chance of rain, mainly to SLO and northern SB county.

It’s Friday, 

I know that does not mean the same any longer, but for me it is still a good thing. 

The wind last night is now over and the weather is calming down. 

The system that took its time moving though is now in the San Diego area. As forecast it really did not do much for rainfall. Ojai was the winner with .12.

Good Thursday morning, 

I hope everyone is waking virus free. Today that low pressure system is now moving into our area.

This is going to bring scattered showers to the area, with a northwest flow.

This means areas like Santa Barbara will be in a rain shadow due to our local mountains.

Areas in the central coast and Santa Ynez stand a better chance for rain.

Good Wednesday morning,

Our weather the entire month of March has been quite active.

The next 2 days will be no different, but rain totalS will be on the lighter side.

This is due to the showery nature of this next system. 

Right now the low pressure system is moving into Northern California from Oregon.

This is a colder system with snow levels dropping to 3000 over night Wednesday.

Good Monday morning,

It was a good storm Sunday afternoon and through the night.

Rain totals were good with most areas seeing around 1 inch of rain, with San Marcos Pass getting 2.18 inches and Montecito with 1.25 inches.

This system is now moving East and leaving us with light showers only. Showers should taper to almost none in the afternoon.
