Good damp Wednesday morning,
I you are right along the coast you are waking to dampness outside. My house has lots of moisture on patio furniture, cars, and anything outdoors.
This is thanks to cooler weather and a marine layer, 1000 feet thick. https://zoom.earth/
This will cool us off especially along the coast and in local valley . Highs today will be in the mid-70s along the coast and mid 80s in the valleys.
Fog and low clouds will hang around through mid-morning, before it breaks to hazy sunshine.
Thursday the trend continues through Friday with cooler temps and even some pockets of drizzle possible along the coast.
Saturday we will start a slight warm up, but still cooler than normal highs in the upper 70s coastal and upper 80s in the valleys.
Looking towards Hawaii, they continue to see some weak tropical systems heading there way. This is going to make vacation goes sad because rain is likely through the weekend.
Other than Hawaii, the tropical storm season has been very quiet in Mexico and the east in the Caribbean.
If you have not noticed the days are getting shorter with darkness until 6am and the sun drops in the 7 pm hour.

Good Sunday morning,
The weekend is winding down, but lots of fun the week. We had a great full moon this week, and Last night was a blast at Zoofari.
Now it is onto this coming weeks forecast. It is the last week in August with another round of just fine summer weather in Santa Barbara. High pressure is building in and warmer temps will bring back higher temps.
The good news is not too warm. Coastal areas upper 70s to low 80s. Valleys upper 80s to low 90s.
It is hard to believe that next Sunday will be September.
If your traveling to Hawaii you will see some visitors of tropical storms, good news is they will only brush the islands to the north and south.

Enjoy your Sunday, it is back to Action Monday morning!

Good Thursday morning,
A break in the Heat is the excitement of the interiors and the valleys. Last night a little pressure gradience brought in some sundowner winds thanks to an early season storm to the north.
https://zoom.earth/maps/satellite
This will do nothing more than cool us down over the next 3 days, before the temps begin to creep up Saturday into Sunday.
Also if you look at the satellite zoom earth you will also see a few tropical depressions to the south in the pacific heading towards Hawaii with a possible bullseye.
Today we will start out cooler with 50s to start our morning. highs today will be in the low to mid 70s coastal and a cool low to mid 80s in the valleys.
Friday a carbon copy of today and most likely the same on Saturday. Then, Sunday we start a warming trend, bring back warmer weather into next week.
Enjoy the cooler weather, with some sundowner winds again tonight.

Good Tuesday morning,
Last night the Blue moon lit up the sky and guided president Biden’s plane to Santa Barbara 😂 well that might be a little much, but he did arrive at 2:30 am for a vacation in Santa Ynez. He will enjoy our great weather, without having to pay our state taxes.
The weather for us and his visit will be perfect summer weather.
Today we will see 80 in Santa Barbara and 90 to 95 in Santa’s Ynez.
Wednesday another great day, then we will cool down Thursday and Friday by 5 to 10 degrees. The weekend weather is looking to warm slightly each day.
Bottom line, there is very little excitement in the skies except in the Santa’s Ynez area.
One important item is that I need your vote… It is the final week if The Best of Santa’s Barbara in The Independent. Here is the link, please vote in housing for Action Roofing and Action Energy.

Good Monday morning,
We are off to a new week, and it will start off quite warm for the first half of the week.
https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lon=-120.05962371826169&lat=34.617519493991026
It does look like 80s along the coast and mid 90s in the Santa Ynez valley through Wednesday.
The second half of the week we will cool off with highs in the low 70s along the coast and low 80s in the valleys.
This week we have a little more fun with a full moon.
I was in the valley Saturday and watched military helicopter flying at low elevations, and the local airport will be closed.
The rumors appear to be true with President Biden coming to the Santa Ynez valley Tuesday through Saturday:

Have a great week, with a little excitement in Santa Ynez.

Good Saturday morning,
I hope everyone is having a great summer. The weather certainly has been fantastic in our little piece of heaven. It is incredible that august half way over and all the schools will be back in session soon, if not already.
Summer weather is not really that exciting, so weather reports have been minimal, but all is good in my world.
As we get deeper into the summer months the ocean temps are warming up. 66.2 degrees today. That might be quite chilly to some, but for us quite warm. This time of year the warmest the ocean has been was 72 degrees in 2009 and the coldest was 60 degrees so we are right about in the middle of.
https://seatemperature.info/santa-barbara-water-temperature.html
As far as tropical weather goes, there are a few systems in the west but these are just drifting over the open ocean causing no harm to anyone.
On the east coast it’s really the same, unless you are one of the small islands in the Atlantic ocean like Bermuda where they just got hammered by Ernesto
https://zoom.earth/storms/ernesto-2024
Regarding our local weather, just perfect is the story. Along the coast you will wake to some fog, followed by sun and a high 77 to 80 degrees. In the valleys plus 10degrees with upper 80s to 90.
A warming trend will occur through the first half of next week with temps rising for all 5 to 8 degrees. Next Thursday we reverse to cooler temps dropping into the mid 80s in the valleys and mid 70s along the coast.
Bottom line, we love California … no bugs, no humidity, and mild conditions day and night. Tonight you will hear a lot of laughter from the county bowl where Chelsea Handler will make everyone laugh.
Enjoy the rest of your summer, fall is right around the corner for the rest of the country, but here in Southern California summer still has more than 2 months to follow.
Enjoy and see you are the bowl tonight, if you going to be there and have a great weekend.

Good Thursday morning,
Slight cooling to start the day, and even some fog along the coast, which is a nice treat. Today along the coast it will be a few degrees cooler with highs in the upper 70s after the fog burns off.
In the local valleys, around 90 today, but this is still a few degrees cooler then it has been.
https://zoom.earth/maps/satellite/#view=32.2,-108.5,4z
The interior still hot and getting hotter as high pressure will build in again.
For the weekend and through Monday, expect warmer temps, highs along the coast in the low 80s, then in local valleys mid to upper 90s. Interior everyone will see temps 100 plus.
Monday night into Tuesday maybe a little cooler and some fog will return to the coast.
Last I night you could see the marine layer coming off the pacific at sunset which lead to foggy conditions this morning and dampness at my house at least.
Here is a Timelapse video of the fog coming onshore at my house thanks to Bri.
Remember it is summer and the heat will stick around for 2 more months.
Have a great weekend,
Jack Martin

Good Monday morning,
Summer – August weather on tap this week with the cool spot at the beaches only.
It will be another hot week with everywhere but Santa Barbara being very hot.
Lots of Action also in the Pacific towards Mexico with lots of tropical weather all moving west towards Hawaii. Everything is over sea at this point but it is that time of the season
https://zoom.earth/maps/satellite/#view=21.3,-121.2,4z
On the East coast some tropical action there after hitting Florida. Tis the season…
Stay cool 😎
