Jack's Weather Report

Good Wednesday morning,
High pressure and offshore flow will be the story over the next 4 days https://zoom.earth/.

Last night the low-pressure system rolled through, and we all knew it with the Northwest winds.

Now it is all about the winds turning to the Northeast. This will bring winds tonight to Montecito and areas Ventura south, with typical Santa Ana wind event, nothing crazy however. Now the good news, each day moving forward we will warm up. By Friday we will see low 80s in some locations, everyone will see 70s through the weekend. It will be a fantastic weekend to start your tan, and or get outside.

Next week we cool down for the first few days, but the good news again is the storm track is moving out of the Pacific northwest and this will keep us warmer.

Looks like we will remain in the 70s Wednesday on, with no rain in site. I think spring and warmer weather is finally on the horizon.
This is great news for all of us. I am sure everyone is ready to shed that sweatshirt and let it warm up.

Enjoy the great warm up, dust off that sun block :)

Good Monday morning,

What a great weekend it was with lots of sun, but cooler temps with high in SB of only 65 degrees.

This morning we are going to start with next Friday and Saturday's weather because this is what we have been talking about for a week now….
Offshore flow is going to bring us upper 70s and low 80s before we cool down to 70 on Sunday.

This is the treat we have been waiting for all year to date. Get your suntan lotion out it will be beach weather.

Until Friday there really is no real action in the weather this week. Sure, a little wind Tuesday night and 10% chance for drizzle on Tuesday morning, but pretty bland weather until the offshore event begins on Thursday.

Temps will be cool today then climb a few degrees each day into Thursday. Today the low 60s then add 2 degrees each day and Thursday we will see upper 60s. The offshore wind event will begin Thursday and warm-sunny weather will be upon us for Friday and Saturday.

Have a great week, and we will look forward to the weekend warm up.

Tax day if it was not the weekend. It is fine for me, I have already paid all my taxes for 2022, ouch!

Today will be a great day, with lots of sun in Santa Barbara. If it was a little warmer it would make me happier, but 67 is ok.

The valleys will be a little warmer with highs into the low 70s. The fog is out there and will return as soon as Sunday.

Next week we are looking at more fog, Tuesday and Wednesday especially.
Those days will be the coolest days of the week. The good news is still out there with offshore flow moving in late in the week with a mild Santa Ana event.

This will warm everyone up especially where the winds will blow. This is predicted to be a mild event so winds in the Ventura south, areas will not be crazy.

Santa Barbara will only have the positive results of offshore. Warmer temps and no wind. This should be the best weekend with warm temps we have seen in a long time.

Mark your calendar and call your friends from out of town. It will be a chambers of commerce weekend. I guess I am really putting myself out on the limb, I hope I am right.

I personally look forward to the warmth, it has been a long cold winter and spring to date.

Have a great weekend, lots of good NBA playoff games on. Golden state plays today and the Lakers on Sunday. If you a clippers fan, they play Sunday also.

Enjoy,
Jack Martin

Good Friday morning,

As we saw over the mountains yesterday a weak system in SCAL has caused some rain in LA. anywhere from 1/10 to a high of 1-inch https://www.wrh.noaa.gov/lox/scripts/getlocal.php?prod=LAXRRMLOS  Here no rain, but high pressure and a warm-up will arrive as soon as this low flows through today https://zoom.earth/maps/satellite/#view=26.3,-112.6,5z/date=2023-04-14,03:30,-7

Saturday some warming, but nothing crazy warm. Sunday should be the warmest day with highs in the low to mid-70s.

As always, this time of year the valleys will start to warm up with the coast starting out with some low clouds, before clearing.

Next week we will see more of the same with fog along the coast in the mornings and continued low 70s for all.

I do have some good news for later next week if you like the heat. Models are calling for a big warmup later in the week and into next weekend with our first heatwave for the season.

In the meantime enjoy cool spring weather with not a lot of excitement. Enjoy the weekend and sunshine for most. with no more rain in sight 😊

Good Wednesday morning,

May gray, June gloom in April, and the coldest season in over 50 years .
Where the rest of the country is seeing a heat wave, we are seeing a cold wave.

A weak low-pressure system is over Oregon and has pushed the cool air and fog over us. https://zoom.earth/maps/satellite/#view=35.77,-120.47,6z

Tonight this will move south over land with no rain, just cold, damp, drizzle and wind.

Thursday will be quite chilly with highs for most in the lower 60s

High pressure will begin to build in on Friday starting to warm us up.

Saturday and Sunday should be a pleasant weekend with highs in the low to mid 70s

Next week looks to continue with typical spring weather with all systems remaining to the north with pockets of wind, clouds and cool weather .

I promise it will warm up sooner then later , the weekend will be nice and we can shed our sweatshirts for the afternoon. Remember I just deliver the forecast, I don’t make it :)

Good Tuesday morning,

Not much excitement out there and that’s a good thing regarding the weather.

The fog this morning is a little deeper at 1000 feet. Clearing along the coast will be slower, with some western areas seeing no clearing.

Tonight cold air moves in which will create some wind from the Northwest, breezy but not crazy.

Wednesday a weak system hits southern California, not affecting us. Just cooler temps. If any rain it will be down below LA. https://zoom.earth/#view=30,-111.5,5z/map=live

Thursday more wind, cooler temps. No heat wave here, unlike a lot of the country.

Friday through Monday we will be on a warming trend, bringing in warmer temps for the weekend. Highs will rise into the low to mid 70s.

Jack Martin

Good Monday morning

It was fun to watch the fog start to flow in last night around 7:30 pm (see attachment ) The days are getting quite a bit longer. Sunrise 6:34 am Sunset 7:26 pm

https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/usa/santa-barbara

High pressure remains in place,  pushing any weather systems to the north. https://zoom.earth/#view=33.7,-110.3,4z/map=live

This week, typical spring-like weather all week long. A weak system passes through creating nothing more than a morning, low clouds, and some wind times. Today high pressure rolls some fog along the coast and clear in the valleys highest today along the coast will be in the upper 60s thanks to the fog, but upper 70s in the valleys.  

Spring has begun and Tuesday not a lot of change high-pressure moves east replaced by a very weak low pressure which will do nothing more than bring up some wind on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings along the coast along with cooler temperatures. As we move into later in the week really there are not a lot of changes, it looks like the weekend will be nice. High pressure will build in keeping everyone in the mid-70s for just perfect spring-like weather with no rain in sight.

Have a great week will be checking in.

Happy Easter,

As we rise, I look outside and wonder what’s going on…. Fog !!! I have not seen low fog in months.

The fog level is a low 600 feet so this will burn off early, around 10 am. We will see a nice sunny day.

Here in SB, the fog will keep us in the low 70s, but the Valleys should rise into the upper 70s.

The great weather will continue into the beginning of the week, with highs remaining in the 70s Monday. https://zoom.earth/

Tuesday has some cooling, but still nice. Wednesday's weak low pressure will bring more marine layer and fog .possible a little drizzle Wednesday or Thursday morning.

Next weekend, sunny skies and high pressure builds back in to make a nice weekend. still no rain in sight….

let’s look at lake levels this is amazing https://www.co.monterey.ca.us/home/showpublisheddocument/22189/638132588340230000 Nacimiento is 94% and San Antonio is 67%

We all know about our local lakes are all full and we are close to double the annual rainfall for the entire rain year Oct 1 to Sept 30th https://files.countyofsb.org/pwd/hydrology/Rainfall%20Reports/rainfallreport.pdf Amazing.

I hope everyone enjoys the great day out there, then it is back to work on Monday.

Good windy Monday morning, 

Oh, the fun of the wind. There will be plenty of it today, especially in the mountains, looking at 70-mile-an-hour winds. Locally 30 miles an hour to blow those tarps around.
https://zoom.earth/#view=29,-110.4,4z/map=live 

Other than the wind, we will be chilly through Tuesday then we start to come out of the cold and calm throughout the week into the weekend. 

Not any big changes to the forecast, just wind the next 2 days, national championship game is tonight ( Go SDSU ) Did you know it has been 25 years since the west coast has been in the championship game? I hope that UCON does not blow SDSU away in the wind like our weather. Nothing to lose …. 

The rest of this week we will look towards warming and a great holiday weekend coming up. Happy birthday Dina, and I hope everyone has a great week!

Jack Martin

Happy April,

We are starting a new month the right way, with no rain Insight. Today is the first day of April for jokesters.

Here is one that I can relate to Can bees fly in the rain? Sure, if they wear yellow jackets!

With all seriousness, it is great to see dry weather through the entire week, with no rain. “How long has it been “

You are going to love your Saturday; it is going to be sunny and warm 4 to 8 degrees from Friday. still a few degrees below normal, upper 60s. 

Sunday some onshore flow, nothing exciting, a fair overall day. Sunday night a cold inside slider brings winds from the Northwest. https://zoom.earth/

Next week we will see dry weather with mostly clear skies, all week long and by the end of the week….. 70s … now how about that !!!!

Not a lot more to say but enjoy the dry weeks' weather. What am I going to do with all my extra time?

ok lastly let’s give some lake levels https://www.co.monterey.ca.us/home/showpublisheddocument/22189/638132588340230000 Nacimiento
