Looks like some mid 80s or even low 90s for the weekend here before it cools off again after Monday.

'Some rain', I said, as opposed to an endless deluge with temps never going above 50°, lol...

It's also a waste of sunshine if you don't take a 20 minute walk around lunchtime when it gets dark so early.

Sunny and 82 in Palm Springs... no wind at all and perfect visibility. Could not be nicer. My daughter was at the pool already at 9 a.m.
Any pictures?

We went over to Westin Mission Hills to check it out this morning... my daughter on the slide right when they opened it.

Chance of rain by next Wednesday, even for Palm Springs.
I see that.
Upper 80s to low 90s and sunny for our trip though. And it will probably be sunny at home for us by next Wednesday while it's raining here.

We have been able to get noticeably tan already. Thought the sun angle might be too low. Prime us for Hawaii in a few weeks.

87 here before 11 a.m.

It's interesting how much warmer than Quartzsite Palm Springs can get. But I've seen it where Quartzsite is warmer than Palm Springs, so it isn't always the case. Only 79° here right now at 1:20 Arizona time.

Got to about 80 here today. Beautiful day, except for all the haze.
Crystal clear out here... no haze at all.

Getting dark early enough for you?

88 so far in Fullerton. Sunset tonight is about half a minute later than the Winter Solstice (December 21) with the closest sunset time being tomorrow. Then by Tuesday it's about half a minute earlier.
Getting dark early enough for you?
Its is strange for it to feel hotter than most summer days and have the sun setting so early.

91 degrees. Winter wonderland indeed.
We are tan and flush with natural vitamin D again... then just about 4 weeks of dark for us and then Hawaii.

From the Phoenix NWS discussion:
Activity this afternoon generally materialized a few hours faster
than anticipated and model performance (including the HREF and
local CAMs) has struggled. In these scenarios, it is prudent to rely
on a HRRR time-lagged ensemble for the near-term, which indicates
that scattered showers will persist across south-central Arizona
through this evening. Latest IR satellite shows cooling cloud tops
across Pima County and it`s reasonable to expect this activity will
lift northward this evening around the Baja Peninsula closed low. A
Flash Flood Watch remains in effect, though the relatively fast
storm motion of the convection may limit the flood threat.
Models remain in good agreement that the focus will shift westward
overnight as vorticity and jet-forced ascent increases ahead of a
closed low diving down the central California coast. NAEFS continues
to highlight the central Colorado River Valley with PWAT percentiles
exceeding the 99th percentile. Consequently, the strongest cells will
be capable of producing a very quick 1 to 2 inches, which could lead
to flash flooding. This is reflected in the latest official
forecast, which again is weighted heavily towards the WPC QPF.
Predictability is expected to increase Wednesday as a broken line of
convection develops ahead of the aforementioned low pressure system
and migrates eastward across Arizona. A low-level jet
intensifying to 40 kt will approach an all-time maximum across
southern Maricopa County late Wednesday morning. Although the wind
profile won`t be ideal for training cells, some back-building along
and ahead of the line will enhance the threat of flash flooding.
Latest HREF also suggests the strongest storms will be capable of
producing wind gusts as high as 50 mph. General consensus is that the
line of storms will move east of Gila County Wednesday evening, with
isolated showers generally dissipating elsewhere.

Light rain in Palm Springs now. TT-SEA?
Not there now... back home. Clearing up here and should be sunny for the next few days.

Just began pouring as I got up, but even if we had the storm of the century here, there would be less posts in this topic than the PNW gets on the 1345th consecutive sunny day.

There was a rainbow earlier this morning, but it only lasted a few minutes.
