Fri, May 02, 2025Good Friday morning, Yesterday’s weather was quite interesting as showers tried to back door there way over the mountains. It was interest to see clouds - showers move from the east towards our mountains. This typically would result in no rain here, but showers East of our local mountains Today, we will see low clouds and fog to start the day, but warm in the low 50s. The first system is moving over Arizona and will only affect far Southern California with a chance for showers this afternoon. For us a weak ridge will give us a reasonable day with maybe some clearing this afternoon. Highs along the coast in the upper 60s and valleys in the low 70s Saturday another system moves in. This will deepen the marine layer and create some drizzle and light rain. Then later in the day mountain showers with 1/2 inch of rain possible in the mountains. It will be similar to yesterday (Thursday) https://zoom.earth/maps/satellite/ Saturday will be quite chilly with highs in the 60s only and snow in higher elevations. No real rain coastal, but drizzle and light rain is likely with 1/10 an inch possible coastal. Sunday into Monday the system hangs close enough to give a chance for mountain showers but for the most part just cooler temps. Now the good news is, Tuesday and through the week we will get into a gradual warm up. Temps by Thursday will get into the 80s in the valleys and 70s coastal. At this point next weekend will be more spring and early summer like with coastal fog and much warmer in the valleys. This will make the next 2 months quite a bit warmer just over the pass in Santa Ynez with our Typical May-gray and June-Gloom. At least the drive to warmth is 35 minutes away. Enjoy the a reasonable day today, then cooler and damp through the weekend. Jack Martin

Wed, April 30, 2025Good Wednesday morning, Today is the last day of April and then we start a new month of May. It looks like the last day of April is starting off with some drizzle along the coast and fog layer at 1700 feet. This will lead to a cool and cloudy day along the coast with drizzle this morning. Currently it’s drizzling at my house. https://zoom.earth/maps/precipitation/#view=36.6,-129.4,4z/model=icon Today will be 3 to 5° below normal temperatures for this time of year highs in the 60s along the coast and low 70s in the valleys Thursday the first day in May, just a repeat of today night morning low clouds and drizzle Friday the first low pressure system starts in and we’ll have a series of waves through the weekend with a slight chance of rain for our area. For the most part, it’s just going to be a much cooler weekend where we do see some mountain showers. It’s not gonna mountain not going to amount to much. Looks like we’ll have another cooler weekend and rest of work week with more January like weather than May. It looks like next week we should get into better weather either just a slight warm-up or if you’re looking at one of the other models, they’re saying it’s going to be a substantial warm-up. In the meantime, we’ll see what happens. Enjoy the drizzle cold temperatures and you’ll need a sweatshirt. Jack Martin

Tue, April 29, 2025Good Tuesday morning, We will have 3 more days of calm weather with nothing to exciting in the forecast. Temps will climb slightly with highs in the upper 60s along the coast and some night and morning low clouds. In the valleys it will be slightly warmer, highs in the low to mid 70s through Thursday. On Friday, a weak system approaches and a cool down is set for the weekend, with a slight chance for rain. Really, we should just see a cool weekend with highs in the low to mid 60s. It will be a chilly weekend for lake lovers where Nascimento will be in the 60s only. Summer has not arrived yet, but the daylight is getting longer each day as we get close to summer solstice. Sunrise Today: 6:11 am↑ 72° East Sunset Today: 7:43 pm↑ 289° West https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/usa/santa-ynez Have a great day, Jack Martin

Wed, April 23, 2025Good Wednesday morning, Chilly and damp is the main forecast with a few twists. Bottom line it will be cooler today and damp through the weekend with temps 10 to 15 degrees below normal. This morning you can see the deeper marine layer, bringing dampness to some areas. https://zoom.earth/ Later today we should see some winds start to come up, especially in Gaviota and north Goleta. Winds in the 45 mile an hour range in Gaviota later today. This will likely clear out the fog, but it will not make desirable outside outing fun. As we get into Thursday morning the winds will likely allow a clearer morning, but temps well below normal. Friday low pressure starts to arrive deeming the marine layer and creating drizzle for numerous areas. Saturday a cut off low approaches and can even bring some light rain and drizzle. The weekend will be much cooler and quite damp. The good news, next week is looking warmer and sunnier. You just need to get through this week of cooler, and damp weather. Hang in there, I promise better weather ahead, pack your sweatshirt in the meantime. Jack Martin

Fri, April 18, 2025Good Friday morning, Today we will call it transition day as a low pressure system exits and a ridge moves in for the weekend. Today we will see more sunshine and a warm up where it will be 3 to 6 degrees warmer the yesterday, but still below normal for this time of year. Highs in the upper 60s to low 70s. You will even see a few puffy clouds over the mountains this afternoon, but the rain threat is over. Saturday and Easter Sunday we warm up and get back to normal temps for this time of year. Overall a nice weekend with highs in the 70s and sunshine ☀️. It will be perfect for Easter egg hunts and Sunday brunch. Next week is also looking nice, dry conditions through the week with not much excitement in the weather It is that time of year, that my granddaughter is participating in a fund raiser for her school on Solvang called a color run. She is now 7 years old and in the first grade. She called me yesterday and said Poppa can you post my fund raiser on your weather report and of course poppa never says no, so here is a link and I hope you can help her raise money for her school. Link to her color run: https://www.getmovinfundhub.com/student-webpage/67e57ef67cada4.47444743 Have a great weekend and Happy Easter! 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!
