Good Friday morning,

The long weekend is only a few hours away. For us the weather is going to be a sunny dull forecast. Just great weather coastal. Inland is going to be too hot for me. 

90s and low 100s. Looks like we will have some sundowner winds tonight, but mainly in north Goleta. 

Good Wednesday morning, 

No excitement here in California, just sunshine, warm temps and a great week ahead.

So let’s look at some excitement. The East coast and Caribean is battling 2 tropical storms this weekend.

Summer is in full swing, with not a lot to report. Of course this weekend is Labor Day weekend and there will be lots of Action in Santa Barbara.

I think this year will be the second anniversary of the micro burst that we had over the Labor Day weekend in 2017. 

I don’t expect we will see anything like that, but there is a chance the monsoonal flow will move over LA mountains and deserts late this weekend.

Good Tuesday morning,

I love this time of the year. Warm evenings and calm winds makes it so nice sitting outdoors at sunset and listening to music.

As we wake up this morning, the coastal fog is gone. We will have sunny skies all day. High pressure is building in and inland areas are going to heat up.

Expect the Santa Ynez valley to warm up into the upper 90s. SB will remain in the upper 70s and low 80s. Just perfect !!!

Tonight might be a little different then last night because we are expecting some sundowner winds to affect our area starting around 6 PM.

Good Tuesday morning, 

Summer vacation is almost over for the Kids. Time to go back to school, with many of them starting next week. 

Today we are starting off with a little fog along the coastal areas. 

This will burn off by 11 am and sun will prevail. Inland areas will see only sunny skies. 

Good Monday morning, 

I hope everyone has been enjoying great Aug weather. The weather has been fantastic.

It is always nice to come back to no humidity, or bugs.  

Our weather this week is going to be another perfect week, with lots of sun, temps in the upper 70s to the low 80s along the coast. 

Viva La Fiesta! 

The one day a year that work comes to a stop, because traffic is a mess and workers want to fiesta.

For all that love, the parade it will be perfect weather to watch.

Highs in the mid 80s today in Santa Barbara. 

If you look at the satellite, you will find a huge area of cloudless skies over where we live. 

Lots of Action out there, just not on the weather front in Santa Barbara.

Today is the last day of July and we welcome August on Thursday.

Fiesta starts tonight, lots of food at the 2 spots and the open ceremony at the Mission.

Weather wise, we will have perfect weather. No fog for us today, but areas to the south has fog levels at 1000 feet.

Temps today will be in the low 80s and warm sunny summer weather continues through the week and into next week.

The weekend will warm up more with high pressure building in the 4 corners highs coastal will be in the mid 80s and valleys approaching the century mark.

Good Monday morning,

I hope everyone had a great weekend. Now it is back to work, fiesta week, and the last few days of July. 

How does the summer march by so fast??  The good news is summer lasts through October in California. 

This week is going to be perfect working weather with highs in the upper 60s and 70s along the coast.

Inland however it is still quite warm, but in the upper 80s instead of 90s. 

Good Wednesday morning,

Summer weather will continue through the week.

Tuesday was quite warm with some areas in SB in the upper 80s, valleys were also quite warm with 90s.

This trend will continue today and it will be warmer than Tuesday.

Today will be the last day of the monsoonal flow and pretty mid-level clouds that make great sunsets and sunrises.

The picture attached came from my friend Adam. Nice shot.

High pressure remains in place, the marine layer is at 800 feet and will burn off along the coast this morning, then turn to sunshine.

Valleys and deserts will be quite warm, with temps 5 to 10 degrees above normal.

This means lots of valley areas will hit the triple digits. Coastal 80s will be common, and some 90s in the foothills.

All in all just great summer weather.

Enjoy it!
