Good Sunday morning, 

I will make this a quicker one. 

Today we have high pressure keeping all clouds out of the area. They are north and south of us.

Today some Santa Ana winds to the south, but mild. Temps will be 4 to 5 degrees above normal in the mid 70s. 

Tonight after the sun goes down, it cools off a lot. Lows in the upper 30s in the valleys and upper 40s coastal and foothills. 

This is for Patty and my Freinds in my old stomping grounds. 

“Hope you are all well “

The weather for you is very simulate to the forecast except nights will be 10 to 15 degrees cooler.

Wow, you are hearing it first here. We are going to get quite the storm system starting Tuesday night.

We will have it all with this one, snow, rain, hail, thunder and lighting, wind and cold air.

Leave early for Holiday travel, I suggest leaving Tuesday if you are going to travel.

Thanksgiving traffic in the air and on the roads is normally really bad, but this year with the rain and snow it will be much worse. 

We will start with the good and end with the bad.

Good Friday Morning, 

A great weekend of weather ahead, will be a present that we might not see for awhile.

A ridge will be over us through Monday, which will give us warm weather though Monday.

Tuesday, a cold low pressure system dips south out of the Barring Sea and Alaska. 

Good Thursday morning, 

It was a chilly Wednesday with some wind and very little rain in our area.

LA and areas to the south did see plenty of rain.

Jim was the first one to mention to me there was no rain.

Jim is now going to be our official weather spotter on the ground.

Nights that we are predicting rain, he will sleep outside to give us first had results in real time.

Jim thanks for your dedication. Is it cold at your Hope Ranch home this morning 👍😂

Good Wednesday morning,

Windy and cooler this morning as a weak weather system is rolling down the coast.

Not much rain out there, but you can see some shower activity over the coastal waters:

Take a look at the satellite and you will see the counter clockwise rotation of the cut off low.

Ones and nines day. 

Good Tuesday morning, Monday was another incredibly hot November day. 

High of 86 in Santa Barbara. Wow!

Today we will switch it up. Also, interesting weather pattern to our north and south.

If you look south, low pressure is spinning off shore. This is increasing the surf on south facing beaches for you surf lovers. 

Good Monday morning, 

OMG what a Sunday. It was a Summer Delight. I sat outside well into the evening watching football ball and Jack Ryan.

What a great series on Amazon. You have to check it out. I watch 2 episodes then had to go to bed at 9pm.

We broke a record in SB yesterday with a new high for the day of 85 degrees. 

One more day of great weather. It will not be 85 in Santa Barbara, but we will still see mid to upper 70s.

To the south and in the valleys, one more really hot day. Highs in the 80s and some 90s.

Good Sunday Morning,

Not a lot of changes from Saturday's forecast. Here is a quick re-cap and El Nino forecast for 2019-2020 season.

Today, hot in Ventura and south to LA with winds 35 to 45 miles an hour. Many areas will see 90s due to off shore winds compressing and heating the air.

As always, high fire danger again.

Good Saturday morning,

The light of day has arrived and it will be a nice weekend in SB, with lots of Action in the forecast next week.

Lets start with the weekend.
