11/15/17 Wednesday Forecast
Good Wednesday morning,
8 days till thanksgiving and 36 hours before our first rain of the new season. Rain is currently from San Francisco and north. This will drop down to us starting over night. You can see the system here http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/goes/west/nepac/h5-loop-wv.html
Today will be a nice dry day, with highs in the low 70s.
Thursday morning the low drops closer to us. Rain should start up on the central coast around noon, and then makes its way to us Thursday evening. Thursday night is when the rain starts. This will not be a big system. We will all see rain, SB 1/4 of an inch, Central coast 1/2 to an inch, Ventura 1/10 to ¼ and inch, and LA the jury is still out.
Friday is a transition day. A Santa Ana wind will occur Friday night into Saturday in the Montecito hills and south.
Saturday and Sunday will be very nice. Highs in the upper 70s with off shore winds.
Monday??? Models are still all over the place. Possible rain, but not much again. We will tackle this later. We will stick with what we do know.
Ok enjoy the day
11/14/17 Good Tuesday Morning
Good morning,
It looks like the system once thought to cause rain Wednesday night into Thursday is slowing down a bit. We will still have some rain, but it looks like Thursday afternoon is the more likely time period.
This storm system is coming out of the Gulf of Alaska and will be dropping south on Wednesday.

The rain totals will be 1/4 to 3/4 on the central coast, starting Thursday morning – afternoon.
In Santa Barbara looks like we will get about a 1/4 of an inch of rain,
Ventura and south 1/10 to 1/4 of an inch.
Not a barn burner, but we can turn off sprinklers for a day. Besides it will be nice to see the rain.
Tuesday and Wednesday look to be fair and dry. Highs in the low 70s.
Saturday and Sunday appear to be the same. Dry with 70s.
Monday on the forecast is very questionable, so we will not even talk about this.
On a side note:
I was asked about the slow start to the rainy season yesterday. With a comment I bet this is going to be another dry season.
I do not feel that way, no rain in November will not have any indication of the amount of rain we will receive for this upcoming season. If you look at past years, we have had wet starts and no rain in January and February. Really, we do not get much in rainfall totals in November or even December. January and February are the big months. The predictions are still for a season of normal rainfall. I Just want to let everyone know, rain early on does not mean heavy rainy season. In fact, history of last has shown the opposite.
Besides we are happy is the construction industry to see rain hold off. We are all too busy to be battling rain delays now..

11/9/17 Thursday Forecast
Good Thursday morning,
If you are in the Bay Area to Canada, you would see rain. If you take a look at the satelite you will see low pressure spinning over Washington state.

This is not going affect us, other than wind. This front will stall out as it drops south, when it runs into dry air. If any rain falls it should stop in Paso.
For us, we will just experience some wind about 15 to 20 miles an hour tonight.
Friday into the weekend looks dry, with temps at normal or slightly above on Sunday. Highs in the low 70s and upper 60s.
Next week is also looking dry, with no rain in site at this point.
Soon we will be talking about thanksgiving weather…..
Enjoy
