Tue, April 23, 2024Good Monday morning, Lots of fog along the coast, last evening after clearing came for a short period in the afternoon. The fog quickly reformed around 5pm. I was in santa Ynez Sunday till noon where it hit 80 degrees. Here upper 60s. Today Thick fog, cool damp weather is what our week is looking like Pea soup out there with some pockets of drizzle , this will persist though Wednesday at this point with fog, drizzle and possibly light rain . This is not a big storm system, but measurable rain is likely into mid week. https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lon=-119.68138933181761&lat=34.428434406606954 Thursday looks like some wind then Friday another system mainly to the north and over the mountain with rain possibilities. Just more funky weather as it just does not want to end. This week will be more May gray or June gloom like. It does look like the next weekend will be warmer and we will return to decent weather. That’s the best I can do at this point, another funky week Jack Martin

Tue, April 23, 2024Good Saturday morning, Sorry about the lack of weather reports this week, I was busy each morning and there was not a lot to report. All is fine on my front and sorry about the absence during your morning cup of coffee , tea or whatever you drink while reading my report . I also noticed that dave dumve was on vacation this week from KSYV who also does a great weather report, I was not on vacation, but my full time job kept me busy. As far as our weather goes, we are in a very typical spring and early summer pattern . Where the valleys have not really heated up that much, the coastal areas are seeing typical foggy conditions that , we expect on and off though June and into early to mid July . The marine layer is thick and Friday it hung around the coast the entire day . This morning it is 2500 feet thick and extends into the santa Ynez valley . https://zoom.earth/maps/satellite/#view=29,-109.1,4z High pressure will build in today and through Sunday with earlier clearing along the coast . The valleys will be warmer with upper 70s and some 80s . Still cool for late April . Along the coast the sun should show up today, but the marine layer will likely hang around till early afternoon . Where yesterday was very chilly we should approach the low 70s today, along the coast with Sunday more clearing and warmer . Monday high pressure breaks down then throughout the week we see a series of low pressure system bringing back the thicker marine layer . Regarding the 4 letter word we have learn to hate this year “ RAIN “ I really do not think we will see much if any it will be in the form of drizzle or possibly light rain later in the week . Time will tell , but there is an inside slider that generally does not bring us rain only wind. There is also a possibility of a cut off low that could form and create light rain. More likely over mountains and LA at this point . Not to worry, I will keep us updated early next week as we get close . Next weekend is looking to be good with high pressure building back in … Since it is Saturday and I don’t have a lot of employees to worry about so let’s have some fun with facts and our weather . This years rainfall has exceeded last year in most location . However it is not a record. The only record is likely for 2 year rain totals that far exceeded normal totals for the past 2 years . Here is where we are at with rainfall locally . An average of 50% more rain the normal across the county and Santa Barbara 75% more rain the normal All lakes are full in the area https://files.countyofsb.org/pwd/hydrology/Rainfall%20Reports/rainfallreport.pdf To the north in Monterey county , really the same results . Naciemento is full and for lots of boat lovers maybe to full because parking is extremely limited https://www.countyofmonterey.gov/home/showdocument?id=22189 Sunrise is 621 am and sunset 735 pm . Doing quick math we are 11hours and 14 minutes , with day light extending 30 to 40 minutes more . Tide schedule high tide today 8:35 am today 4.22 and low tide a fairly low 0.54 at 2:36 pm which can make a nice beach walk . With hopefully some sun shine The ocean temp is a chilly 57.7 degrees . Wet suits are needed Surf !!! sleep in , if that’s what your after it is pretty flat at 1 to 2 feet . Leadbetter is worse at 0 to 1 foot . Again a nice walk on the beach weather . Ok I tried to make up for the lack of reporting this week . Enjoy the weekend , it will be way nicer in santa Ynez valley this weekend , maybe a good time to go wine tasting at sunstone 😄 it is still pretty foggy here … Regardless, have a great weekend Jack Martin

Mon, April 15, 2024Tax day has arrived... 4/15/24... but so has the sunshine, which is back again. Hopefully for a long time. The weekend rains were quite strong for this time of year. The big winner as San Marcos pass with 3.13 inches, Santa Ynez with 2.12 inches and Montecito had an easier time with 1 inch. The real difference was the heavier rains that occurred on Sunday https://www.weather.gov/lox/LAXRRMSBA This is all in the past now and we are ready for sunshine and warmer temps for the entire week. Warming each day with 70s coastal and 80s valleys by mid-week. Thursday cooler with some coastal fog, but no rain in site. Hopefully, this means we are done with the heavier rains. We are now in mid-April, with daylight arriving at 6am hour and sunset at 7:31 pm. This means lots of daylight and the sun angle will begin to heat up the skies. Just look at these crazy rain totals year to date. Santa Barbara has received 188% above normal rain totals. Everywhere is 150% over normal rain totals https://files.countyofsb.org/pwd/hydrology/Rainfall%20Reports/rainfall Enjoy the sunshine, time for spring and warmer weather... Bring on summer 😊 Jack Martin

Mon, April 15, 2024Good Sunday morning, Just another rainy day. Rain is picking up again as the low that has been spinning bands of moisture is finally moving south. https://zoom.earth/maps/satellite/#view=35.34,-125.96,5z/date=2024-04-14,03:00,-7 Rain is really coming down north of our areas. Here showers will continue throughout the day, but more on and off https://radar.weather.gov/station/KVBX/standard Rain totals so far run anywhere from 1/2 to 2 inches. The higher amounts are in the mountains. Lots of snow also covering the hills in Santa Ynez and some even local SB hills . Snow levels are at 3500 to 4000 feet today. More snow in the hills are likely IMG_7435Moving into the work week, the snow will melt quickly and we will dry out. Warming into the 80s by mid week in the valleys and 70s coastal. A little cool down on Thursday with on shore flow lasting into Saturday, but still nice with 70s. It will also be dry with no rain chances next week. As mentioned yesterday the 8 to 14 day forecast is dry, and warmer. Enjoy the last day of rain, then let’s bring on dry and warm. Have a great Sunday, stay dry...

Mon, April 15, 2024Happy Saturday the 13th of April. Here is the next system spinning off the coast, but moving a little slower then expected https://zoom.earth/maps/satellite/#view=42.5,-141.8,4.32z Rain will develop this morning as the first part of the system moves through. Rain is approaching quickly, and is just to our north. It looks like a wet 36 hours. Here is the low down on how much rain we will see https://www.weather.gov/wrh/TextProduct?product=laxqpslox. 1 to 1.5 inches coastal and up to 3 inches in the mountains. Here is the rain right now. If your not getting wet you soon will be https://radar.weather.gov/station/KVBX/standard Expect rain through the day, then a break later tonight. Sunday more rain with showers as the cold air passes through. As mentioned before snow levels will drop to 4000 feet on Sunday. Looking ahead the system clears out Sunday night then moves across the country through the week. It will cause wild weather and tornados mid week Tuesday or Wednesday in the middle of the country. For us we clear out and welcome sun and warmer weather. Highs will get into the 70s and 80s by mid week. Cooling Thursday some. But great news the 8 to 14 day forecast shows dry and above normal temps, so hopefully this will end the rains that we have had to much of this year. It will be a wet weekend, so a good time to catch up on paperwork or clean out your garage. Maybe finish your taxes, because Monday is April 15th. I need to fund my IRA today. Regardless it will be an indoor weekend. Enjoy, I promise weekends will get better soon. Jack Martin

Nice Jack,
Didn't know you did a weather report. My granddaughter just moved down there to attend school.
I will be sure to check with you for the weather before we go to visit her!
