Jack's Weather Report

Good Friday morning and the last day of January 2020.

Today is going to be a great way to end the month with off shore and highs in the upper 70s with some low 80s.

Saturday the first day of February will be a perfect day to start a new month with highs increasing a few more degrees. Likely most areas will hit 80 degrees.

Good Thursday morning, 

I hope everyone has been enjoying the dry January weather. It has been rather disappointing from a rain standpoint. 

Regardless of which side of the isle you sit on with rain, it is not going to change in the next 5 days.

The weak system yesterday did not produce rain, but Sunday’s weather brought in fog and low clouds to areas and created very shallow visibility in some areas.

Sadly, Calabasas was one of those locations. It did take the life of an Icon. It is a sad morning for Basketball fans and Los Angles with the loss of Kobe Bryant, his daughter and 7 others.

Good Sunday morning,

Here we are nearing the end of January 2020. This first month of the new year has been extremely dry.

Unfortunately, we once had a chance of rain for today, but if you want to see the rain, you will need to go to northern California.

Today there is a weak system just off the central coast this morning.

Wow, there goes the first month of the year. Sadly it was extremely dry with just rain on a few occasions.

It does look like we will end the month with mostly dry weather and no more rain.

Today a ridge will keep us warm, with some upper 60s and low 70s. Some mid level clouds will sweep across.

Good Thursday morning, 

We are on the back side of the work week now. It does look like nice weather will prevail into the weekend and warmer temps.

This will hopefully help everyone with colds and the Flu.” It is a nasty one”. Stay away from folks with it. Trust me you don’t want this one.

Good Tuesday morning, 

It looks like the sprinkles predicted on Monday did amount to a few 100s of an inch of wet stuff, enough to dampen the streets.

Today another impulse will go through tonight. This will affect Northern areas like SLO and above. For us no rain is predicted. 

Wednesday and Thursday, we clear out with an on shore flow. Dry and no precipitation.

Friday through Saturday the offshore

Good Friday morning,

It sure was nice of the rain to hold off until the end of the work day. Rain started up around 4:30 in the afternoon and fell till around 10pm. “well after my Bedtime ! :) “

We received around ½ of an inch in most locations from SLO to Ventura. The winner was San Marcos pass with almost an inch.

The rain is now gone and a colder day is the story of the day. Highs will only be in the upper 50s.

High pressure will build in today and keep us dry through the weekend.

Today you will see a lot of high clouds with partly cloudy skies . highs in the upper 50s and lows in the 40s.

Good Thursday morning, 

Waking up this morning and walking outside you can smell the change in the air. 

It is the smell of damp air as our low pressure system starts to push our way. 

As discussed later yesterday, the rain will be delayed a bit to start off the day. 

It even looks like we might even be dry into the early afternoon. 

Wednesday morning, 

Another Chilly start to the day, but a little warmer than yesterday. Tuesday frost was all over the roofs.

Today will be another nice day, but as you look at the satellite picture you can see our next wet event beginning to move our way.

Today is non eventful in the weather front. 

Tonight the low moves closer and clouds begin to roll in. 

Over night clouds will thicken and rain will become likely on Thursday morning.
