Guest happ Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 San Diego reached 83 today, but Fullerton only hit 88. They would normally be in the mid 90s any time San Diego goes over 80 in June. Atmospheric River continues over the Pacific Northwest. I think that is feeding moist air into California; hopefully fire conditions will be helped by the higher dew points.

Bonk Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Caught the weather on the local news last night and they were forecasting 122 for the lower deserts next week. Death Valley is supposed to hit 127F! http://f1.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=36.2466&lon=-116.817#.WUS2u2jyu1s Scott's post led me to Google 'Death Valley highest temp' and they say it was 134* on July 10, 1934 - at, aptly named, Furnace Creek.

Anti Marine Layer Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Ramona actually got down to 51 last night. Much warmer night toward the coast where there was a marine layer, which is making it a bit muggy today, even though it burned off early.

Black Hole Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 It seems odd for that kind of heat in the upper Plain states; can you elaborate on what conditions produce such heat that far north? This can happen from a prolonged land-atmosphere feedback during drought conditions. I can go into more detail, but when the soil gets too dry more of the solar energy goes into heat instead of evaporating water. This allows for very high temperatures and low moisture, which tends to reinforce itself (a feedback). This can lead to very high temperatures in very continental locations. 1 Quote Winter 23-24: Total Snow (3.2") Total Ice (0.2") Coldest Low: 1F Coldest High: 5F Snow Events: 0.1" Jan 5th, 0.2" Jan 9th, 1.6" Jan 14, 0.2" (ice) Jan 22, 1.3" Feb 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anti Marine Layer Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Marine layer hanging around the beaches is keeping anything from getting too extreme within 10 miles of the coast. In fact it was hotter there a few days ago. The tops of the tall buildings in Irvine were in the fog this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
