Good Tuesday morning, 

High pressure and off shore winds are building back in today. This will provide a nice warm up for all.

Temps today will be the highest for the week. Inland areas and valleys like Santa Ynez will be in the 90s, Santa Barbara still really nice in the 80s.

Good Monday morning, 

Can you believe that another month is going into the record books. 

Here we are April 27th and May will be here on Friday. 

As we start a new week, the hot weather will turn to warm weather.

Highs Will still be in the upper 70s and low 80s, but we will shed the 90s. 

Today is still starting out warm, with SB at 70 degrees.

Good Friday morning,

Wow, what a beautiful Thursday evening. It was so nice outside; I watched the sunset and enjoyed some music in my backyard.

The only downside to this heatwave has been the winds overnight. Montecito hill record wind gust of 88 miles an hour. Wind gust at my house was enough to blow the hot tub cover off. 🤔

OMG, I got up at 3:30 and fed Pearl. It was so warm outside.

The heatwave has arrived. Look at these temps at 4:15 Am this morning. 

You know it is going to be a hot day when you start with 75 degrees  at 4am.

The heatwave is going to stick around through Tuesday of next week, but the hottest day will likely be Friday.

Good Tuesday morning,

Are you ready…..for a big warm up…..

Today we will see the coolest day of the week. High will be 79…. That will tell you how hot it is going to be the rest of the week.

The low pressure system that went through yesterday is now spinning harmlessly over Vegas.

This is more Action then Vegas has seen since it shut down….If I had the time, I would drive there just to see it at a stand still.

Good Monday morning, 

The weekend was rather gloomy and cool. However, we have good things to come this week.

We just need to get through one more day of “so so weather".Then we go from April to September weather.

Today a very weak low will pass over us and do nothing more than give us a day with some low clouds.

This low will track to Las Vegas later tonight and clear the way for a great week of summer like conditions.

Good Friday morning, 

Here it is. The weak low pressure system is right over us as you wake up. You can see it spinning over Santa Barbara area.

This will push through quickly and move into Orange County this afternoon. 

This system does not have much precept in the clouds, so very little rain will fall.

The best chance for rain will be this afternoon, with wrap around moisture over the mountains.

Good Thursday morning, 

Another week flying by...... 

After a great few days, we will start to transition back to cooler weather. 

Today will still be nice, but we will cool off to the low 70s. Still a nice day.

Tonight the weak low approaches and should spread low clouds over us.

Good Wednesday morning,

Tuesday we hit 81 degrees in Santa Barbara and today it is going to be another great day.

Highs today will be close to the same. Today will be your last day to take advantage of the warmer temps and sunshine.

Thursday a weak low drops South and this will bring back our onshore flow and the marine layer.

Overnight and into Friday the rain chances begin. Looking like some drizzle is likely with light rain.
