Sunday looks great, Aug 25th forecast

*Wind Advisory for Santa Barbara South Coast near Gaviota and west to Point Conception until 3 am Aug 25th

An area of low pressure continues to swirl just to the north of our region. This very unseasonal pattern has brought rainfall, high elevation snow and widespread cooler than normal temperatures. The system will gradually push well to our east through the weekend. For us, this has helped to keep our run of mild weather going which means nothing to complain about. We are keeping an eye on gusty northerly winds, especially along the South Coast where those gusts will likely exceed 30-mph through early Sunday. Light and patchy fog will continue along the coast, but the warmer ocean will help to create decent burn off times in most coastal areas. Temperatures on Sunday should once again be very nice with seasonal 60's and 70's for the beaches and 80's farther inland.

Looking ahead, our unseasonal storm system will push well out of the region which means we could see a quick burst of offshore winds. The mild Santa Ana will help to warm things as northeasterly winds push through Southern California early next week. For us this means warming inland with more mild weather along the coast as the marine layer retreats a bit before building toward mid week. Overall, our forecast for next week looks very uneventful and quiet for now. This is always good news is that means more great conditions as we transition out of August and in to September.
