Jack's Weather Report

6/7/23

By Jack Martin on Jun 07, 2023 at 04:03 PM

Good Wednesday morning,

Who would’ve known June was going to bring us rain. Just amazing the past two days.

Everyone received anywhere from a quarter to a half an inch of rain and now it looks like this spinning low pressure system is moving east.
The weather today should improve  and we will actually see some peeks of sun.

As far as the forecast for today, chance of mountain showers, but not likely along the coast. Cool with highs only in the 60s https://zoom.earth/

Thursday and Friday clouds return, and slight improvements, slightly warmer but nothing to bring us out of this funk.

The weekend, another low pressure system. This one looks to bring again some drizzle, possible light rain, along the coast, but not like we’ve had the past two days. A chance of Some Mountain showers over the weekend. But for the most part, it will be better weather than what we have seen for the first half of this week..

It’s just crazy to think that we’re at June 7 and we’re still receiving rain. I can’t remember the last time I’ve ever seen this late in the year. I can’t remember the last time I seen rain other than drizzle in June.

Here’s a few pictures from yesterday afternoon as the rain started to come in late in the day, thought I would share. Enjoy the dryer day, but remember it’s still June gloom and it will continue the rest of the week..

Just another day of crazy weather for 2023. Take a look at the low pressure system, spinning, and dropping some showers over top of various locations. SLO has received 1/2 inch of rain in areas over night.

We have received 1/3 of an inch on San Marcos pass and .13 in SB. With varying amounts in other locations (so far) 

https://zoom.earth/maps/satellite/#view=33.9,-118.7,5.63z/date=2023-06-06,03:50,-7

Our rain chances are going to diminish as we get into the morning over the next couple hours however, they will return again in the afternoon over the mountains. Threat of thunder showers remain at around 40%.

Here’s what the activity looks like right now https://radar.weather.gov/station/KVBX/standard

Today cloudy with a chance of rain.

Wednesday, the spinning low moves out of the area, and our weather will start to improve. But not by much.

Thursday, low clouds and fog return and we get into the same June gloom pattern through Friday.

For the weekend, well, it looks like another low pressure system is going to drop down upon us and bring another threat of rain. June rain isn't that crazy.

Good very wet morning, 

There’s actually drizzle and light rain in the hills along the coast and leave it off low pressure system. That’s going to give us a chance of rain in June. Just take a look at this little blob, spinning off the coast right around point conception. https://zoom.earth/

This has already messed up our morning because it is pea soup out there wet everywhere. And as the day progresses, we even have a better chance of some rain later in the afternoon, especially along the mountains of Santa Barbara and Ventura about 30%. https://radar.weather.gov/station/KVTX/standard

As the low pressure system spins through Santa Barbara. 
Today will be damp, chilly, and this afternoon some afternoon showers over the hills.

On Tuesday the chances of rain shifts more to the north in SLO and Santa Ynez have a greater chance for some afternoon showers.

Wednesday the spinning low pressure system begins to move out of the area, but it really doesn’t improve our weather much the chances for precept go down, but expect low clouds and fog to remain along with cooler temperatures all week long.

Wednesday through Friday cool and foggy. 

As we get into the weekend, there’s another low pressure system that does appear to remain to the north, so it really shouldn’t affect us that much but it will still keep us cool.

Anyway, you look at our funky weather pattern just seems to keep continuing into the second half of the year now. 

Be careful out there. It’s quite damp this morning.

Good foggy Sunday morning, 

After a 1 day break from the fog, we are back in the thick of it. 

Through mid week we will be seeing a couple low pressure systems affecting us with just more of the same fog, deeper marine layer, cooler temperatures, and even a very slight chance of rain in the mountains. 

Today the marine layer is about 1750 feet which means afternoon clearing. It will be a cool day. When the fog does clear we’re going to see some clouds over the mountains. 

It’s not likely to create any rain, but a low pressure system is going to pass through tonight. Highs today along the coast 68 and 77 in the valleys . 
https://zoom.earth/maps/satellite/#view=34.6,-116.9,4.76z

On Tuesday will have another low pressure system. Come through this once a little bit stronger bring us a 20% chance of rain in the mountains only coastal areas it’s going to be just foggy and damp. 

Oh, after Wednesday, it looks like we will start to improve our weather some hot spectacularly, but will start to see more sunshine inland along the coast. However, the fog will continue.

Enjoy, it will get hot at some point, until then more of the same.
It was 85 in Santa Ynez yesterday and 71 here. If you want warm, u must cross the pass, but today 10 degrees cooler, but 77 in my eyes is perfect.
       
Have a great Sunday

Was that a reverse oasis we saw yesterday for 2 hours in the morning Wednesday???

As we start the day (June 1st) it is all about June gloom. The fog level is at 5500 feet, and we will see little clearing along the coast today. https://zoom.earth/

This afternoon winds will ramp up from the North and bring up 15 mile per hour winds just in time for Santa Ynez graduation (hang onto those hats)

Friday, one more foggy day will bring some drizzle in the foothills. Good news however for Saturday, it looks like we will see more sun in the valleys and upper 70s to 80 degrees.

Coastal still fog, but we will see some sun and low 70s. It does look like the lake will be in the mid-80s, so if you want warmer and sunshine head to Nascimento.

Sunday will start out ok, but low pressure moves in and cools us down a little.

Next week, June gloom continues and so does the cooler weather. At some point it will begin to warm up, but not next week.

Enjoy the weekend, it will be as good as it gets of late.

Good Wednesday morning,

The last day of May has treated Santa Barbara with blue skies. That is not the case however in many other locations in southern California. https://zoom.earth/maps/satellite/#view=34.5,-133.8,4z

The wind last night helped to blow the fog away from SB. Don’t expect this to be the case for days to come, but we will take the sun for a day.

Thursday starts June Gloom moving from May gray.  It does look like the fog will return for all with Friday and Saturday bringing back some blue skies.

Sunday another cool down as low pressure settles in again. That’s the way it is, enjoy the sun while it lasts.

James Taylor should put on a great show at the bowl tonight, bring a jacket or sweatshirt and enjoy.

Good Sunday morning,

Ugh, just another foggy ugly morning. It just seems like it will never warm up.

Sadly week after week it’s the same forecast: fog, drizzle, cooler temperatures, repeat again this week.  You can just see the fog hovering along the coast and Valley’s. 
https://zoom.earth/maps/satellite/

It’s all about cooler temps, highs in the 60s along the coast, low 70s in the valleys. This will pretty much be the story all week with the possibility of drizzle and even light rain by mid week. This  is all thanks to the never ending low pressure systems that wants to hover over us. Even lake Nascimento is it chilly 68° today and will warm up to the low 70s.

As the week progresses we’ll look forward to the weekend where possibly it’s going to warm up a little bit as a quick high-pressure system built-in. Otherwise we are just going to transition from May gray to June gloom hopefully some better news as we get closer to the weekend.

Good foggy Monday morning,

May gray is upon us and there is no relief in site. Fog is 2500 feet thick and extends into the valleys. Coastal clearing is not likely until late in the day or not at all.

Valleys will break this afternoon. The mountains even have a 20% chance of thunder showers today. Highs today will be mid 60s coastal and low 70s in the valleys.

A matter of fact that’s the story for the entire week.

Thursday and Friday a weak system descends from the pacific northwest bring a chance for some rain, but most likely just a deeper marine layer drizzle and light rain possible.

The Holiday weekend looks to maybe clear earlier and warm slightly, but temp’s sill below normal for this time of year. Even Lake Nascimento will be cool in the 70s for the holiday weekend

All you lake goers, bring a sweat shirt.

You can see the weak system that will work its way towards us https://zoom.earth/

Have a great week

Just lots of fog out there as usual this time of year. It was a treat on Saturday to see all the afternoon sun. Hopefully today we will see the same

Next week, I don’t have good news if you want sun, and we are looking at drizzle and light rain possible Wednesday and Thursday.

Highs upper 60s coastal 70s in the valleys all week. Some thunders possible as far as Ventura mountains  https://zoom.earth/maps/satellite/#view=34.1,-109.8,5z

This is the latest report from the LA time with El Nino coming. This is a doom and gloom report. Love the press making the worst out of everything, but a wet winter is likely again. We have a 4 to 5 months to recover from this winter then we will do it again.
