2019 California and Southwest Weather Discussion Thread

[Anti Marine Layer]

Lake Tahoe is getting some snow now.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Reno went from 64 F at 11:55 AM to 35 F at 3:41 PM and had some snow. That is quite a big drop.

[Anti Marine Layer]

More snow for Lake Tahoe overnight. Reno snow turned into rain, however. Fun stuff.

[Thunder98]

It's a chillier than expected morning with temps at 45F. Autumn is here!

[Anti Marine Layer]

No rain or drizzle this morning. Somebody is going to miss the overcast weather of the last 3 days.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Temperatures were not quite as cool as they could have been the last few days due to sea surface temperatures still in the low 70s. Looks like a lot more sunshine today.

[Anti Marine Layer]

It's a chilly late September morning here, but should be a beautiful afternoon. Weather goes back to boring for a while.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Computer weather forecast is showing a high of only 69 F for Lake Forest today, which seems to be a little too low, even though it will be a cool day.

[Reg]

Had some drizzle but no measurable rain over here. Sunnier this morning, unfortunately.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Some low clouds but not very many.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Only 82 F in Palm Springs.

[Anti Marine Layer]

The afternoon is cooling off quickly with the steady breeze despite abundant sunshine. In fact, the highs were about the same yesterday when we had all the cloudiness, although the clouds were not particularly thick towards the coast and there was some reverse clearing at times.

[Reg]

Despite the sunshine today, the high temperature was about the same as yesterday when it was cloudy.

[Reg]

53F right now, coolest temperature here since May 29.

[Anti Marine Layer]

55 F in Fullerton on this last day of September.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Looks like things should be warming up to start October.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Still got some very random low clouds this morning.

[Anti Marine Layer]

More snow in Lake Tahoe overnight, but it looks like the main snow event is coming to an end even in Montana. Lake Tahoe could be back in to 70s this weekend.

 

Down here patchy low clouds are increasing with the sun's heating.

[Reg]

Had a low of 49.4 F this morning. Last time we dipped into the 40s as early as late September was in September 2007.

[Thunder98]

Went down to 44F this morning.

[Thunder98]

For the September 2018 - August 2019 Water Year, Orcutt received a good 17.98" of rain. Jan-March were the wettest months.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Nice day today. It should be hot again by Wednesday.

[Reg]

Pinon Hills (in the San Gabriel Mountains) had a low of 38F this morning.

[Anti Marine Layer]

This is it for the October 2018-September 2019 water year. What will the upcoming rainy season bring?

[Anti Marine Layer]

Welcome to October. Looks like one last cool day before things start warming up again.

[Anti Marine Layer]

There are some low clouds this morning, but they came in late.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Lots of random low clouds this morning into the early afternoon, but they seem to be mostly gone by now.

 

Looks like Palm Springs could flirt with 100 F again next week.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Quite a cool day given all of the sunshine.

[Anti Marine Layer]

October is off to a boring start in California.

[Reg]

Update

 

[Anti Marine Layer]

Chilly again this morning but there are no low clouds.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Mornings have been in the 50s here ever since Sunday. The sunrise is getting quite late.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Weather stays boring here for a while now. Today was very close to normal.

[Reg]

At least the hottest (and longest) days of the year are well-behind us now.

[Anti Marine Layer]

The day got off to a cool start again.

[Thunder98]

I want it to rain right now. The WX is so boring

[Anti Marine Layer]

Lows continue to be below normal, more so than the highs. No solid marine layer since last Saturday.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Another cool and clear night here. No exciting weather here any time soon.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Still quite cool out at 9 AM.
