Friday night into Saturday we are looking at a lighter storm system. We are going to receive ¼ to ½ inch of rain out of this system.

Skies clear out Saturday mid-day,  then we will be dry until Sunday night.

Good Wednesday morning,

Hello from St Kitts. Really pretty here…

As far as the extended forecast goes, the 8 to 9 day forecast is s

How long has it been since we have seen natural water flow in the Santa Ynez river?

This is a great site to see. I lived in the valley for 25 years, and seeing the river do this is great.

Right now it is raining pretty strong over Paso and SLO.

Rain will move over Patty's house in Santa Ynez in the next few hours.

My house will see it soon after... 7 am.

Good Sunday morning,

What a day you all had on Saturday. Watching it from my devices is not the same as being there live. 

As you wake up this morning, things are beginning to come back to normal. 

It will be calmer today with only some showers.

Good Saturday morning,

Well it is game on…. We have received around ¾ of an inch of rain so far, but the event is just starting.

The heavy rain is starting up in Santa Barbara right now. Heavy rain will fall from 4am to 10am in SB. 6am to noon Ventura and 7am into the afternoon in LA.

The real event will not start until after midnight, but some lighter rain will start up in a few hours.

This is the real deal.

The latest forecast indicates everything said earlier in the day, it is right in line with current time.

We are going to have a period of around 12 hours of real heavy rain.

Good morning,

Are you ready for the biggest storm, we have seen this rainy season?

This is also going to be a prolonged event. With every update, the weather service has increased the rain totals. If there has been any storm to be aware of in Montecito, this will be the one...
