Anti Marine Layer Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Weather could not get any more boring. Maybe a very small chance for some isolated mountain thunderstorms tomorrow, but I would not count on it. Marine layer clouds have not reached Riverside and San Bernardino since the beginning of July. It might deepen enough this weekend with the Pacific NW trough to do so.

wx_statman Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Some interesting graphs/ trends from National Climate Data Center/ NOAA Interesting stretch of hot summers from 1959-61. Came during the longest period of neutral ENSO conditions in modern records (1959-63), and without a coherent PDO signal from late 1958 to mid-1961. In other words, arguably the two biggest coupled ocean-atmospheric circulation drivers of climate variability along the West coast were dormant during that stretch. It's interesting to me that the result ended up being two scorching hot summers in 1960 and 1961. There were all-time record highs set along the West coast in 5 of the 6 boreal summer months during that two year stretch - July & August 1960, and June-July-August 1961.

Guest happ Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 I'm looking forward to a deepening trough/ stratus. This summer has been characterized by weak/ moderate ridging/ elevated heights. But only one triple-digit day. Last summer had six 100+ days at this date. No significant fires in SoCal could be a result of high dew points/ some good storms further inland [Palm Springs: 0.71 just this month]. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anti Marine Layer Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 Distant thunderclouds were spectacular again yesterday. Looks like monsoon could be done for this summer, starting today. Marine layer has reached Riverside this morning for the first time since early July, and will probably reach the coastal slopes by Tuesday morning.

Anti Marine Layer Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 Low clouds already starting to burn off here, which is faster than yesterday despite the deeper marine layer. There have been mornings with the marine layer pushing further into San Diego County than today, but not reaching Riverside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
