Mon, February 06, 2023Good Monday Morning, The system has passed as everyone felt the winds last night. It blew hard at my house, today the system is moving East. https://zoom.earth/ Today is starting out warmer than expected, with 41 in the valley and 53 in Santa Barbara. Today will be cool with highs in the mid-60s. Tuesday high pressure and offshore flow build in. Temps will rise slightly, but the real warm weather is to come. Wednesday, warmer and 70s for all with the offshore flow. Thursday will be the warmest day of the week with temps 4 to 8 degrees above normal and mid-70s. Friday, we cool slightly, but still a nice day. The weekend looks for cloudy skies, but the models are now backing off any chance of rain. Of course for selfish reasons we want the weather to be nice for outdoor Superbowl parties have a great week. Jack Martin

Fri, February 03, 2023Good Friday morning, Today we will see lots of high clouds as a weak system will pass to the North bringing rain from San Francisco to northern SLO. Only high clouds here https://zoom.earth/ Saturday we will have a pop-up ridge which will make it the warmest day in the next 7 days. highs in the upper 60s. Saturday night a slightly stronger system approaches and moves Saturday ridge to the East. This will result in rain in SLO with ¼ of an inch and ½ in the mountains. As it approaches point conception it really weakens and will only create light rain for us. We are looking at around 1/10 inch maybe ¼ of an inch in the hills. This is very weak with no southern support. Sunday will be breezy and cool. Highs will be in the low 60s to upper 50s. Next week we are looking at dry weather all week. Monday through Wednesday northeast Santa Ana winds and some warming. Thursday is dry, but the models can’t decide whether it will be windy or just warming. Needless to say, we will see very little rain Sunday and nothing beyond that. Take a look at Lake Cachuma at 99.3% as of yesterday https://files.countyofsb.org/pwd/hydrology/Rainfall%20Reports/rainfallreport.pdf Jay provides a great photo of the dam at Cachuma, it is just amazing. Have a great weekend, Saturday should be the best day to get outside Jack Martin

Wed, February 01, 2023Good Wednesday morning, February 1st, and a start of a new month. Today most are waking up to a chilly start to the day. 34 in Santa Ynez and 45 in Santa Barbara. The good news is offshore flow will warm us up nicely to around 70 degrees for a high. That will be a nice change once it warms up. Thursday looks to be another chilly start, but warming into the upper 60s in the afternoon with some high clouds starting to flow as offshore turns to onshore. Friday a weak system rolls through, no rain for us, possibly a little in far northern SLO. Saturday a ridge pops up for a decent day but Saturday night the next system rolls towards us. This system is stronger and will likely drop some rain all Sunday morning. This is weaker with rainfall of 1/2 inch or less. It will be over by Sunday afternoon. Next week is looking dry at this point with at least the first half of the week with sunny skies. On the lakeside Cachuma is at 99% now and still filling slowly. Nacimiento still 86%. I can’t wait to be able to drive past the lake and see all the water. https://files.countyofsb.org/pwd/hydrology/rainfallreport.pdf Have a great day! Jack Martin

Then we should begin to clear up. You can see the rain currently moving to the south it’s just a little wraparound over. https://radar.weather.gov/station/KVBX/standard Rain totals of varied anywhere from 1/10 to a quarter of an inch. Montecito has been the big winner with .26 so far . The snow level is at 3000 feet and snow is falling on the grapevine and interstate 5 with traffic being escorted through the snow area. local Mountain will see 1 to 2 inches of snow and higher mountains 2 the 4 inches this morning. Today will see the rain chances decrease as the day goes on then Tuesday through Thursday will have dry cold weather with sunshine. Friday another system rolls in this week we’re only affect northern Santa Barbara County and SLO county . Saturday dry then Sunday another system rolls and this looks to be a little bit stronger and will affect our area. All rain later this week will be on the lighter side with no atmospheric river connection.

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!
