Good Wednesday morning, 

Today will be a transition day. Overall a nice day, with temps a few degrees above normal.

Tonight some high clouds will pass over us as a low pressure front washes over us. This will bring some wind to mainly gaviota and north Goleta.

Weather should be pleasant at the Bowl for Jimmy Buffett.

Thursday and through the weekend, it is all about wind.

Winds will be northwest and northeast at different times. Looks like Montecito hill will have the biggest target on there backs.

Good Tuesday morning,

There is not a lot to say about the weather this week, we will have warming the next 2 days, then cooling the next 2. The weekend looks to be nice. 

There will be some winds at times, sundowner and Santa Ana, but nothing that will be like last weeks event. 

Wednesday night and Thursday we will see some high clouds as a weak system to the north washes over us. 

Happy Columbus Day, 

Not sure who really celebrates this holiday, but for those who have the day off good for you. 

Not I. It will be a perfect working day. Temps will rise into the low 70s keeping everyone cooler today. 

Tuesday, high pressure ramps up providing a warm up through Wednesday. Maybe a few weak sundowner winds Tuesday evening, but on the weaker side.

Good Sunday morning,

If you look outside right now to the west, you will see the full moon setting. 

Since the wind to the south is gone, they can recover from the mess in the yards and decks. The good news is the fires were minimal. 

Today will be sunny and cooler. Highs in the low 70s along the coast and low 80s inland.  

Good Friday morning for some, if the wind is not part of your morning coffee.

Here is SB, it is calm and no real wind to speak of.

If you roll 40 miles to the south it is a whole other story. There

will be one more day of high winds at Ventura and south. You can see the red on the map.

Good Thursday morning, 

Are you ready for the wind. This is a northeast wind event. SB and Ojai will not be affected, but if you live in Ventura to Santa Monica you are feeling the winds already. 

Winds starting to pick up around 2am in Ventura south. This will blow the marine layer away and into SB. Looks like SB will see some fog until late morning.

Good Thursday morning,

Are you ready for power outages???.... not in SB, but Ventura to Santa Clarita, also Northern California. They are talking about 650,000 customers will be affected by this wind event starting here Thursday and Northern California today.

Good Tuesday Morning,

October is alway an interesting month for weather. Summer patterns begin to change and we start to see quite a fluctuation in the forecast. This week is no different.

A cold low pressure system in Canada is pushing into Washington. This is going to bring cooler days today and Wednesday.

Also, Thursday we will see our first strong Santa Ana wind event for the season. 

Mountains will see 50 to 60 mile an hour winds in Ventura and to the south. 

Good Friday morning, 

October has arrived and also Santa Ana season. 

We will be influenced by off shore flow and a weak Santa Ana wind event this weekend. 

The real result will be temps warning into the 80s and 90s in some locations. 

It will be a great late summer weekend for all that love warm and sunny weather. 

Winds will blow Saturday and Sunday for the northeast at around 10 to 25 miles an hour. This will affect southern Santa Ana wind prone areas. 

For SB to Gaviota there will be some northwest winds today into tonight, but mild.

Good Thursday morning and my Dad's 87th birthday.

Today we are looking to have onshore flow return with cooler temps as a weak front rides over us.
