Jack's Weather Report

Good Thursday morning,

A break in the Heat is the excitement of the interiors and the valleys. Last night a little pressure gradience brought in some sundowner winds thanks to an early season storm to the north.

This will do nothing more than cool us down over the next 3 days, before the temps begin to creep up Saturday into Sunday.

Also if you look at the satellite zoom earth you will also see a few tropical depressions to the south in the pacific heading towards Hawaii with a possible bullseye.

Today we will start out cooler with 50s to start our morning. highs today will be in the low to mid 70s coastal and a cool low to mid 80s in the valleys.

Friday a carbon copy of today and most likely the same on Saturday. Then, Sunday we start a warming trend, bring back warmer weather into next week.

Enjoy the cooler weather, with some sundowner winds again tonight.

Good Tuesday morning,

Last night the Blue moon lit up the sky and guided president Biden's plane to Santa Barbara 😂 well that might be a little much, but he did arrive at 2:30 am for a vacation in Santa Ynez. He will enjoy our great weather, without having to pay our state taxes.

The weather for us and his visit will be perfect summer weather.
Today we will see 80 in Santa Barbara and 90 to 95 in Santa’s Ynez.

Wednesday another great day, then we will cool down Thursday and Friday by 5 to 10 degrees. The weekend weather is looking to warm slightly each day.

Bottom line, there is very little excitement in the skies except in the Santa’s Ynez area.

One important item is that I need your vote... It is the final week if The Best of Santa’s Barbara in The Independent. Here is the link, please vote in housing for Action Roofing and Action Energy.

Good Monday morning,

We are off to a new week, and it will start off quite warm for the first half of the week.

https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lon=-120.05962371826169&lat=34.617519493991026

It does look like 80s along the coast and mid 90s in the Santa Ynez valley through Wednesday.

The second half of the week we will cool off with highs in the low 70s along the coast and low 80s in the valleys.

This week we have a little more fun with a full moon.

I was in the valley Saturday and watched military helicopter flying at low elevations, and the local airport will be closed.

The rumors appear to be true with President Biden coming to the Santa Ynez valley Tuesday through Saturday:

Have a great week, with a little excitement in Santa Ynez.

Good Saturday morning,

I hope everyone is having a great summer. The weather certainly has been fantastic in our little piece of heaven. It is incredible that august half way over and all the schools will be back in session soon, if not already.

Summer weather is not really that exciting, so weather reports have been minimal, but all is good in my world.

As we get deeper into the summer months the ocean temps are warming up. 66.2 degrees today. That might be quite chilly to some, but for us quite warm. This time of year the warmest the ocean has been was 72 degrees in 2009 and the coldest was 60 degrees so we are right about in the middle of.

https://seatemperature.info/santa-barbara-water-temperature.html

As far as tropical weather goes, there are a few systems in the west but these are just drifting over the open ocean causing no harm to anyone.

On the east coast it’s really the same, unless you are one of the small islands in the Atlantic ocean like Bermuda where they just got hammered by Ernesto

https://zoom.earth/storms/ernesto-2024/

Regarding our local weather, just perfect is the story. Along the coast you will wake to some fog, followed by sun and a high 77 to 80 degrees. In the valleys plus 10degrees with upper 80s to 90.

A warming trend will occur through the first half of next week with temps rising for all 5 to 8 degrees. Next Thursday we reverse to cooler temps dropping into the mid 80s in the valleys and mid 70s along the coast.

Bottom line, we love California … no bugs, no humidity, and mild conditions day and night. Tonight you will hear a lot of laughter from the county bowl where Chelsea Handler will make everyone laugh.

Enjoy the rest of your summer, fall is right around the corner for the rest of the country, but here in Southern California summer still has more than 2 months to follow.

Enjoy and see you are the bowl tonight, if you going to be there and have a great weekend.

Good Thursday morning,

Slight cooling to start the day, and even some fog along the coast, which is a nice treat. Today along the coast it will be a few degrees cooler with highs in the upper 70s after the fog burns off.

In the local valleys, around 90 today, but this is still a few degrees cooler then it has been.

https://zoom.earth/maps/satellite/#view=32.2,-108.5,4z

The interior still hot and getting hotter as high pressure will build in again.

For the weekend and through Monday, expect warmer temps, highs along the coast in the low 80s, then in local valleys mid to upper 90s. Interior everyone will see temps 100 plus.

Monday night into Tuesday maybe a little cooler and some fog will return to the coast.

Last I night you could see the marine layer coming off the pacific at sunset which lead to foggy conditions this morning and dampness at my house at least.

Here is a Timelapse video of the fog coming onshore at my house thanks to Bri.

Remember it is summer and the heat will stick around for 2 more months.

Have a great weekend,

Good Monday morning,

Summer - August weather on tap this week with the cool spot at the beaches only.

It will be another hot week with everywhere but Santa Barbara being very hot.

Lots of Action also in the Pacific towards Mexico with lots of tropical weather all moving west towards Hawaii. Everything is over sea at this point but it is that time of the season

https://zoom.earth/maps/satellite/#view=21.3,-121.2,4z

On the East coast some tropical action there after hitting Florida. Tis the season...

Stay cool 😎

Jack Martin

Good Thursday morning,

One last hot day before a cool down begins Friday and will last through Sunday.

Then Monday the warmer weather will start to build in for the week and temps will rise once again in all valleys and inland locations.

You can see from zoom earth high pressure is over us and keeping any clouds away. This will move East today and a cooling trend will bring down the temps.

Today the highs will be 80 in SB upper 90s in the valleys and another 100 plus day in the interior. Tonight some sundowner winds are likely due to the change in pressure

https://zoom.earth/

Friday we will see the cooler weather begin, each day through Sunday will drop the temps some, and fog will return to the coast. Highs will be in to 70s along the coast and by Sunday cooler upper 60s to 70 degrees. Valleys will start to cool to 80s though the weekend and inland areas upper 80s to low 90s.

This will be short lived as we begin to warm back up next week.
Another round of sundowner winds Sunday night for Santa Barbara as the pressure changes once again to warm us up next week.
Fiesta starts next week and it is looking like warmer sunny weather for all. Coastal in SB upper 70s to low 80s.

Enjoy the cooler weekend, hotter weather returns next week.

Jack Martin

Good Wednesday morning,

Hot summer weather is the forecast for the next 2 days, as you can see in the graphic below

https://www.weather.gov/lox/

It looks like low 80s coastal, 100 in the local valleys and hotter inland.

The good news is it appears the valleys will begin to catch a break as we get into the weekend with highs dropping into the 80s for Saturday and Sunday in Santa Ynez.

Thursday evening some sundowner winds for Santa Barbara from the typical northwest.

Highs will climb in SB at the end of the day.

Bottom line we have forgotten all about the fog, rain and colder temps earlier in the year and we are looking at the warm summer weather.

The heat is on for 2 more days, then cooling begins for at least the weekend.

Stay cool 😎, and hydrated

Jack Martin

Good Saturday morning from Bellevue Washington.

You have to love summers in this area with long days and the sunshine. Last night arriving here it stayed light till almost 10 pm and day lights starts at 5am.

It will be a great weekend here celebrating my Moms 90th birthday.

Back home in SB, great weather, but not as much daylight. Santa Barbara coast will be the place to be because 78 degrees will be the high.
Just over the hill in Santa Ynez 91 plus in the valley, and as always this time of year the interior is going to be around 100 to 110 degrees.

My advice, head to the coast and enjoy the beach or jump on a plane to Seattle it will be 82 and sunny here .
Tonight Santa Barbara is looking at some sundowner winds from the north-northwest so put those umbrellas down.

Regarding the heatwave this will continue through next Wednesday. It will be hot in all areas but the coastal areas where the sea temps are still 63 cool degrees.

Along the coast and in valleys some low fog early in mornings, but this will quickly burn off and the warmth of each day will be with us.

We are quickly approaching August and our weather will be down right hot for at least the next 2 to 3 months. Hope you enjoying your summer and have a great weekend.

The Pacific Northwest is just fantastic this time of year, and if you know this area, sunshine it not a regular thing. It was incredible last night with a full moon and Mount Rainier in the back drop. I wish I snapped a photo, but there is always tonight.

Have a great weekend

Jack Martin

Are you ready for the heatwave. Take a look at this map of red zones. This will show you the locations

https://www.weather.gov/lox/

The heat begins to ramp up today and will last into next week. The only partial relief will be directly along the coast, but sundowner winds are in the forecast for the next 3 nights in Santa Barbara. This as always will increase the fire danger and winds will increase to 45 to 55 miles an hour in the evenings the next 2 to 3 nights blowing from the north.

Regarding temps. 80s along the coast, 90s to 100 in local valleys. 100 to 110 in Paso.

And in the deserts 🌵, just leave, you will not want to be there….

It also looks like monsoonal moisture will come into play late in the weekend. The chances for monsoonal moisture is low the next few days, but as we get hotter and into the weekend the chances for thundershowers increase in LA and Ventura for the weekend. By early next week even Santa Barbara county maybe affected.

As always stay tuned as we get into the weekend.

It does look like we are getting into the hot period, before we hit August. Typically August and September are our warmest and most active months for hot and monsoonal moisture.

Remember the shade, water, sunscreen and hats. It is that time of year, thank god we have the Pacific Ocean to cool the direct coast off. All those inland folks will be coming to the beaches for relief for at least the next week.

Welcome to summer heat… it has arrived.
