Fri, June 09, 2023Good Friday morning, Our crazy weather pattern continues. It goes on unscripted, but most areas are starting out with low clouds. Few peaks of sun in Santa Barbara. Thanks to the wind that we had last night but the fog will fill-in and it will be a mostly cloudy day again. Today will be in the 60s along the coast low 70s in the valleys. Weak high-pressure has built in for the short term. Saturday, low pressure system moves in and brings us another chance for drizzle light rain in Mountain showers. Drizzle and light rain in the mornings, and a chance of mountain thunderstorms in the afternoon, 40%. https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lon=-119.67108964920043&lat=34.43239888779367 Sunday, the low-pressure system moves East. And we set ourselves up for better conditions for next week. It Does look like some high pressure will start to affect the valleys and raise the temperatures. Along the coast, fog will persist, no real change in the action as a whole, but it looks like rain will be taken out of our forecast next week. In the meantime, we’ll see what the weekend brings us. If we get some additional rain and drizzle. Whatever it may be it’s not gonna be a weekend that we’re not going to be working on our sun tans. Have a great day and weekend ,I promise sun by the summer solstice spring. Parade is June 24th this year Jack Martin

Fri, June 09, 2023Good morning from Foggy Santa Barbara, It is still way better than the East coast where the wild fires in Canada are making life miserable. For us back here getting rain in June is not usual. The last time we saw rain was June 2015 – .005 of an inch. Before that 2011 – 1.14 inch And our funky weather is not over yet, we will continue to see fog, damp mornings drizzle, and light rain possible all the way through Sunday along the coast. Looking up into the mountains calling for a 50% chance of rain on Sunday 40% Saturday. This is due to another low-pressure system that is going to affect us. https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lon=-119.64019060134889&lat=34.489013796838194 As it gets closer to the weekend we will see how this all materializes but anyway we look at it it’s going to be damp with light rain possible . As far as mountain rains go this is looking to bring a good chance to inland areas southwest California. Just read this crazy paragraph: As the trough moves into the region over the weekend, the air mass will destabilize. A vast majority of the EPS, GEFS, and CMC ensemble members have rain at most airports across Southwest California between Saturday and Sunday, but the timing and exact amounts are the most uncertain aspects of the forecast. With the instability with the trough and it being June with a higher sun angle, a slight chance of thunderstorms was kept for now. Amounts will vary widely due to convective nature of storms. Forecast ensemble precipitable water mean values range between 0.60-0.80 inch, or close to 150 to 200 percent of normal, while some ensemble members throw decent CAPE values over portions of the region. CMC members kick out decent CAPE values between 600-1200 J/kg over KSDB, KWJF, and KPMD. Stay tuned, but I guess it’s better than the smoke on the East Coast. Just look at this before and now picture. Thanks, Mark. Jack Martin

Wed, June 07, 2023Good 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.. Jack Martin

Tue, June 06, 2023Just 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. 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!
