Good Wednesday morning,

Today we are waking to fog again, but a nice warm up is in the forecast the next few days.

No real excitement on the west coast, but the Gulf will get hammered today with the next hurricane touching land.

Good Monday morning,

After 5 days of tropical weather, we are returning to typical Californians weather for this time of year.

Highs once again will be in the low 80s coastal and low 90s in the valleys.

Fog has also made a return at around 1000 feet thick.

This will create some cooling the next few days along the coast.

Good Tuesday morning,

It is still dark out there and that is a good thing, because today is going to be hotter than Monday.

Yes, if you thought it was hot yesterday, today is going to be hotter. The only good news that I can give you is thank God we don’t live in death Valley.

It was 130 degrees there, the hottest day on earth anywhere in over 90 years.

Good Monday morning,

I hope everyone survived the heat from the weekend. It was hot out there with Paso Robles hitting a record at 114 yesterday. Today is not going to be any better at 115.

As you can see with the link below, it is going to be hot all week.

Some lighter news is my weather station is all set up at my house, so I can share real time weather from my back yard Daily.

Good Thursday morning,

Subtropical weather is arriving as Elida is bringing us high and mid level clouds. You can see them streaming over us:

Today there is a 20% chance for showers, then this afternoon a better chance of thunder storms in the mountains.

Good Wednesday morning,

Are you ready??!! Ready or not, the heat wave will transition today.

Lots of Action out there the next 5 days with subtropical weather coming our way.

It is going to be a mighty hot Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Even Thursday.

Good Monday morning,

I hope everyone had a great weekend. Now it is back to a crazy work week with real estate going Bananas in Santa Barbara - Montecito.

As we start out our work week, we will find Monday and Tuesday to be a repeat of the past week.

Good Tuesday morning, 

Today we will start a cooling trend. This will be felt especially inland. 

Last night sundowner winds blew, but stayed more towards Gaviota where temps were 80 degrees after sunset.

Goleta and SB had a slight bump, but nothing much.

Good Monday morning,

I hope everyone had a nice weekend. It was hot out there if you were in the valleys.

I went up to Santa Ynez yesterday and the heat was on. 96 degrees when I left to come home to 75 here.

The Pacific Ocean is our friend in Santa Barbara.

Today is going to be hot in SB with Northwest winds we will hit 91 degrees today. Everyone else should see temps the same as yesterday, with a degree or 2 less.

Good morning, 

If you looked outside you would never think we were getting ready for a heat wave.

This morning it is very damp along the coast with some drizzle and wet patios.

The marine layer however is very low and clearing will come quickly.

High pressure and off shore flow will move in. High pressure over Arizona will move closer to us. As we know, this time of year is extremely hot in Arizona, so that will be our forecast the next few days.
