  • First Look Forecast – Fri 3/7

    We’ve had a chilly start to this morning, with temperatures dipping as low as 43° just before dawn at the airport, and 40° CamWX.  Temperatures should recover pretty quickly with all the sunshine today.  Highs should eventually top out in the low 60s.  With the offshore trajectory of yesterday’s 2nd wave of the storm, additional…

  • First Look Forecast – Thu 3/6

    We’ve seen big changes to the forecast for wave #2, meaning we’re no longer expecting nearly the same rain and thunderstorms we were 24 hours ago.  Instead of passing through SoCal, the slug of energy is projected to pass well off the coast, keeping most of the stormy activity offshore.  The eastern edge may brush…

  • First Look Forecast – Tue 3/5

    The radar is lit up like a Christmas tree as a cold front makes it’s way slowly down the coast.  Rain ahead of the front is spreading through Santa Barbara County and should start to affect Ventura County later this morning.  As the front passes, expect several hours of light to moderate rainfall, then the…

  • First Look Forecast – Tue 3/4

    One final day of sunshine ahead of our next storm.  After several quiet months this winter, March is certainly looking to come in like a lion.  The outer edges of the moisture field are visible on regional satellite pictures, but clouds should hold off until later tonight, making today mostly sunny and pleasant, if not…

  • First Look Forecast – Mon 3/3

    Good morning, Camarillo! Slightly below average temperatures expected today under sunny skies with breezy conditions likely. The cold upper-level trough passed us to the north yesterday. Despite a passing shower, the main impacts have been gusty onshore winds, and those are likely to continue today. The Wind Advisory has been extended through this evening for…

  • First Look Forecast – Sun 3/2

    Good morning, Camarillo! Storm #2 is making its way through the region this morning; however, the track it’s chosen makes it more of an inside-slider, and the overland track is depriving it of what little moisture it already had to work with. The rainfall map shows zero rainfall overnight across Ventura County, with only diminishing…

  • First Look Forecast – Sat 3/1

    Good morning, Camarillo! A tightly wound low-pressure system remained offshore yesterday and overnight as it dropped down the coast, keeping any rain well offshore of Ventura County, though some spots may have seen a few drops. The rain chance is effectively over for today, and we should remain dry with a mix of clouds and…
