  • First Look Forecast – Wed 3/26

    A strong low-pressure system spins off the Pacific Northwest, further strengthening onshore flow and significantly cooling the inland areas of Southern California.   Extensive low clouds and fog have formed overnight, and drizzle is likely in some places as a heavy marine layer has set in.  Expect some wet road surfaces this morning.  The low…

  • First Look Forecast – Mon 3/24

    The forecast remains on track for a significant warm-up today as an upper high will be over the region.  Weak offshore flow will be in place as well, and that, plus the high, plus the sun angle this time of year will all combine to make this the warmest day of 2025 to date.  The…

  • Spring Has Sprung

    Spring in full effect this week as the storm track remains well to the north.  This is the time of year where the cool ocean temperatures interact with the warming atmosphere to create the marine layer that is so ubiquitous during the spring and early summer months here in Southern California.  We’ll get a taste…

  • First Look Forecast – Sun 3/23

    Good morning, Camarillo!  A big warm-up begins today as high pressure builds in.  Highs will range from near-70 at the coast to the low 80s in the warmest valleys.  Camarillo should fall somewhere in the middle.  High pressure continues to strengthen tomorrow, driving highs an additional 5 to 10 degrees of warming, and leading to…

  • First Look Forecast – Sat 3/22

    Good morning, Camarillo!  Dry and seasonal conditions continue this weekend. On Monday, an upper high and strengthening offshore flow will drive temperatures to their warmest so far this year.  Temperatures are forecast to reach the 80s in Camarillo, and climb into the 90s for the warmest valley locations.  The ridge collapses on Tuesday, bringing a…

  • First Look Forecast – Fri 3/21

    Dry and occasionally breezy conditions continue through next week, with a significant warming trend expected Sunday and Monday.  High pressure building off the coast will keep the weather pleasant through midweek next week.  The center of the high will move through the region early next week, and the offshore flow and warming atmosphere will bring…

  • First Look Forecast – Thu 3/20

    Spring is here!  The equinox occurred early this morning at 2:01 a.m.  At that moment, for an instant, Earth’s axis is neither tilted toward nor away from the Sun, causing roughly an equal amount of sunlight and dark hours at all latitudes.  The weather will oblige the new season, as the storm track remains well…

  • First Look Forecast – Wed 3/19

    Nothing but blue skies and warmer temperatures expected for the foreseeable future, with well-above-normal temperatures in the forecast likely next week.  High pressure will move over the region today, reinforcing offshore flow and driving highs into the 70s.  We’ll get a weak trough tomorrow that will weaken the offshore flow and perhaps even turn it…

  • First Look Forecast – Tue 3/18

    Yesterday was St. Patrick’s Day, and for a moment in the afternoon, it felt like Ireland here in Ventura County.  That band of brief light rain was the last we’ll see for a while, as a warming and drying trend begins.  Fabulous weather is in store today as a high-pressure ridge builds into the region. …

  • First Look Forecast – Mon 3/17

    A weak cold front is just entering Santa Barbara County this morning and moving southeast, and will bring a chance of rain to Ventura County later this morning into this afternoon.  Latest forecast models show a little bit more life in the front, and the NWS has upped our rain chances to 60% in Camarillo. …
