Good Tuesday morning,
We are treated to another day of clear skies this morning. 2 days in a row.
That’s a nice treat over the clouds we have seen for the last 2 weeks.
It was also nice to sit outside last night, since we had a warmer day for a change.

Good Monday morning,
Here we go again, with a new work week. I hope everyone is healthy and happy.
Today in SB is starting with clear skies.
That is not the case in other locations, but a weak system blew through last night and has pushed some of the low clouds away.

Good Friday morning,
Here we go, another Friday and the last Friday in June. Here comes July…..
Next Friday will start another Funky holiday with little to no celebrations.
I will go and see what is happening in Cabo San Lucas.
Back to today and the weekend.
There’s just not much to talk about, more of the same but a little change inland Sunday and Monday as we cool off due to a low pressure system moving in from Oregon.
6/25/2020
Good Thursday morning,
June is typically a month that we see our days start with fog for the first half of the day.
With the sun coming out after lunch.
This will be the same trend through the next 7 days with just some minor tweaks, but nothing notable.

Good Tuesday morning,
This link pretty much spells out our weather for the week, and the foreseeable future.
June Gloom will be upon us all week. In my eyes, this is fantastic…. with a high of 74 Each day….
6/22/2020
Good Monday morning,
I hope everyone had a great Father’s Day. I know I did.
The fog monster hung around Sunday until mid afternoon then warmed us up in the afternoon.
The good news is the fog level has lowered and clearing should occur between 11 and noon today.

High pressure in the Baja is moving northward which will continue to shallow the coastal marine layer.
6/19/2020
Good Friday Morning,
Yesterday the north push of the Eddy was weaker first thing in the morning, but as the morning went on it gave us a complete day of cloudy.
Today June gloom is the word of the day. Fog is all the way into the valleys today. Waking up in Santa Ynez you have dense fog.
https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES/sector_band.php?sat=G17§or=wus&band=GEOCOLOR&length=12
Weak low pressure is drifting over us today and exiting Saturday. This will lead to a cool few days with below normal temps.
6/18/2020
Good Thursday morning,
The Coastal Eddy is still spinning over Catalina. You can see it on the satellite.
https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES/sector_band.php?sat=G17§or=wus&band=GEOCOLOR&length=12
This will affect the coast and some valleys again today, but the north push does not seem as strong today.
6/17/2020
Good Wednesday morning,
Another day starting with some low clouds and fog. This is thanks to the coastal Eddie over LA.
This is allowing low clouds to drift up the coast and affect Santa Barbara. Fog is 3500 feet this morning.
6/16/2020
Good Tuesday morning,
What a great sunset last night. This was caused by the Drum canyon fire in SLO. Where this was very pretty, it was not up in the Pismo area.
Sounds like they have opened the freeways and winds are calm this morning.
Today we are starting out on the edge of the fog and low clouds. There is an Eddie that has sprung in Catalina, sending clouds and fog into some of the southern valleys and coastal areas.
We are seeing some fog to start the day.
6/15/2020
Good Monday morning,
I hope everyone had a great weekend.
I know I did as my girls brought 2 more Grand Daughters into our lives.
Parker and Resse 7# 13 oz and 7# 15 oz. Two healthy girls!
6/12/2020
Good Friday morning,
Today we have a low pressure system approaching, bringing us a welcomed cooler day.
Especially in the valleys where temps will be 10 degrees cooler than Thursday highs.
In the Santa Ynez valleys will be a cool upper 70s today.
6/11/2020
Good Thursday morning,
It was another extremely hot day on Wednesday. The only good news was sitting on my deck last night and the sea breeze was starting.
This morning, I could smell the ocean. This confirmed the onshore flow has started. What that means is each day will cool.
6/10/2020
Good Wednesday morning,
Holy Cow it was a hot day on Tuesday. Highs in SB was 93 degrees.
Even last night a mild sundowner kept it around 80 till I went to bed at 10pm.
Today we will have one more day of the heat, but it will be slightly cooler.
Highs will be upper 80s coastal and 90s in the valleys.
This afternoon we should begin a sea breeze, which will allow us a little cooling tonight.
6/9/20
Good Tuesday morning,
Are you ready for the heat? Ready or not today will be the hottest day in the next 7.
The winds are mostly calm, still a little down south of Ventura with 10 to 15 miles an hour.
The real forecast is about the unusual Santa Ana Event we will see.
6/8/2020
Good Monday morning,
Last night we had another round of sundowner winds blowing at 20 to 40 miles any hour.
Thankfully we can now shift that from Santa Barbara to south of us, as a Santa Ana wind event starts.
Northwest winds are now turning into northeast with winds shifting away from SB.
This will create lots of wind in Ventura south. Expect 40 to 50 mile an hour winds today and Wednesday.
6/4/2020
Good Thursday morning,
What a difference a day makes.
As we can see along the coast, the fog is back and has moved in. Inland however, is still sunny.
https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES/sector_band.php?sat=G17§or=wus&band=GEOCOLOR&length=12
Today the coastal areas will see a cooler day in the 70s. The valleys will still see 80s and 90s for one more day.
6/3/2020
Good Wednesday morning and Happy 60th Birthday to my brother Steve.
Today should be the nicest day of the week, with hot temps in the valleys and warm along the coast.
Santa Ynez will be 95 today and SB 85 degrees, a warm day over all.
This is thanks to high pressure over us, creating a dome and keeping the low pressure to the west over the ocean spinning out there.
6/2/2020
Good Tuesday morning,
Look at what one day does. You can now clearly see another low pressure system that will park off shore for the next 2 days.
https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES/conus_band.php?sat=G17&band=09&length=12
This is thanks to high pressure that is building in from Arizona over us.
6/1/2020
Good Monday morning,
Welcome to the month of June. As I woke this morning, and walked outside to feed Pearl, you can smell the ocean air.
This is thanks to high clouds and a low pressure system that has cut off in the pacific.
https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES/conus_band.php?sat=G17&band=09&length=12
This is going to do nothing more than give us a bit of a subtropical feel with high clouds for the next 3 days.
