Jack's Weather Report

Good damp Monday morning,

As we rise this morning, you will find damp streets. 

A weak low-pressure system has brought us rain as advertised overnight.

It is more like a Seattle rain, light and drizzly. My weather station has received 6/100th of an inch. This is right on target as we expected 1/10th of an inch to a max of 1/4th inch.

Rain this morning will quickly clear out and work it’s way south.

Good Thursday morning, 

What excitement we had last night in Santa Barbara. I do not remember ever seeing snow or hail that accumulated over 1/2 an inch. That was pretty amazing from Santa Barbara. If you missed it you can see it on my Instagram page, @action_jackk

Today that low pressure system has moved very slowly. It is still off the coast and will bring rain and snow in the form of showers today.

Good wet Wednesday morning, 

It has been 6 weeks since we have had any rain. It is nice to hear it on my roof, and not in my house 😀.

The rain started last night and picked up after midnight, with the first wave of rain bringing us a little more than 1/2 inch so far. There were however, a few pockets of accumulation of over an inch.

As we look at the satellite, this is a large cold system with nice rotation, which will hang around for the next 36 hours.

Good Tuesday morning, 

Finally after 6 weeks, we have rain on the way.

A cold low pressure system to the north will begin to drop south and rain will spread into our area tonight and Wednesday.

Last night the wind was blowing pretty hard from the Northwest, most of the night.

Expect more wind this morning, and a cool day.

Good Thursday morning,

Yesterday was an interesting day with chilly temps, wind and a little rain.

This was all created by the cut-off low, wobbling down the coast.

You might remember yesterday’s forecast saying the low was behaving well, then it had to test me by wobbling closer to us for a short time creating some rain.

All in all, we barely had much of a rain with totals of 1/100 to 5/100.

It did create some excitement for a product we have not seen in 5 weeks.

Good Wednesday morning,

The cut off low is behaving well and is now 300 miles west of LA.

This is throwing mid and high clouds our way, creating a great sunrise.

Today will be a cooler day, with highs in the low 60s, even a 20% chance of rain.

Should the cut off low wobble towards us, making a little northerly push.

Otherwise, it will be just a cooler day with onshore flow. 

There is even a little dampness in the air today. 

Good Tuesday morning,

There she is. The little cut off low spinning out in the Pacific. 

She is around 500 miles south west of SFO.

This low pressure system will wobble south of us, then move East over Orange County and San Diego Wednesday afternoon. The only real affect it will have is temps will be 10 to 15 degrees cooler, on Wednesday.

Good Friday morning Again,

Another work week is winding down, then the weekend arrives.

Today we will have a warm nice day with winds calming in Ventura and south.

Temps today will be in the low 70s and a nice warm day.

Tonight, the next inside slider arrives, bringing wind to SB tonight and Saturday.

Good Thursday morning, 

The sundowner winds last night stayed to the west and were not a big deal for SB. 

This morning is a different story for our friends to the south. There are already 60 to 70 mile an hour wind gusts in the mountains of Ventura to Santa Monica. Wind gust will max out later in the afternoon, but might even hit the 80 mile an hour mark in some mountains.
