Good April 1st day,

A new month is starting, and the season of spring has arrived. Here In Santa Barbara area, I think of April and wind in the same sentence.

Very typically this time of year we see low pressure systems stay more to the north, and we see the tail end with wind.

This week is all about the wind. Low pressure is parking over Nevada and will create on and off winds https://zoom.earth/maps/satellite/#view=39.4,-97.9,4z

Along will winds there is cool temps with snow levels dropping to 4000 or 5000 feet on Wednesday. Regarding rain there are some chances, but if it does rain, it will be mainly over the mountains. 40% for the Santa Ynez valley today, but quite light. As we get further into the week the next chance of rain shows up Thursday afternoon and this will be more of a south event, with unstable air mass can cause some thunderstorms, we will see how that develops as we get closer. Once we get through Thursday the low moves East and we are in for a nice weekend with 70s and some 80s for the first weekend in April.

Enjoy the cool and windy weather the next few days, know that warmer is coming for the weekend.

Don’t forget April fools’ day is today, who will bring the best practical joke for the day
