Visible satellite shows a disturbance well off shore that could produce thundershowers north of Pt Conception tonight; hopefully more monsoonal chances during the rest of the week. 93/ 64

It seems to the weather (Gods) it's a national emergency if we can't have warmer then average summers. Send everyone to the bomb shelters we are going to have a -1.0 departure! (Air raid siren sounds and everyone rushes to the shelter and brings their radio with them so they can hear the all-clear signal)

America and Jesus.

Winter surroundings above Lake Tahoe Squaw/ Alpine

That must feel fantastic. Are the higher elevations surrounding Orcutt warmer at night?

Yeah that -35 on 2/24/03 seems to really stand out compared to other late winter cold snaps. Looks like the 2003 cold snap was preceded by a pretty decent snowstorm which led to a fresh, deep snowpack (~12") which of course always helps.

Most states are scorching hot or humid in the summer. Even with much of the "hot" interior of WA, most locations' daytime averages don't top 85-86 and the nights cool down promptly with the extremely low humidity. I'd definitely still rate the summers of somewhere like Spokane or Wenatchee or Pullman as comfortable overall.

It doesn't get any better than this...Happy 4th of July everyone! #MAGA #HappyBDay'Merica Took a morning jog along the coastal hwy breathing in the oceanic air under ample Cali sunshine. Thank you God! Have a splendid day. Time to pound some breakfast. Adios!

Followed by Minnesota at 2nd place. No wonder Tim expects the pattern to pamper him 24/7.

It was quite cool here in Orange last night, but was warmer than forecast today. Only low 80's were forecast, but it reached closer to 90 this afternoon.

I don't think whitetail is the part of Montana that you are looking to move to. But, If it is I could give you his number when the time comes.

10 degree difference between Santa Monica Airport (75 F) and Santa Monica Pier (65 F) today. Even sunny afternoons are cool right next to the water. It was hotter than expected today.

Whitefish.

12z ECMWF does indeed put us in the cooker later this week. Second half of this month looks a lot better on the weeklies though so fingers crossed! Where in MT you headed??

I like a little lightning and thunder with my fireworks! Lots of early fireworks going off. Sounds like war. Gives perspective I guess. I'm a grateful American today.

I was surprised by how cool it was this morning but afternoons are too warm for my tastes. 93/ 62

They look pretty close to normal. It actually shows much warmer water in the Southern California Bight than other places along the coast. It just seems mornings have been a bit chilly for early July, but that might be because the last couple of summers, sea surface temperatures were well above normal.

Model guidance has been poor recently; every day is hotter than forecast. Hopefully this will actually be cooler than predicted.

Thanks wx_statman for the reminder of a great winter. There's sort of a contest going on a California site over when the Tioga Pass will be cleared. Here are photos of recent conditions in Yosemite.

And finally, January 16th - 6 days after.
