Anti Marine Layer Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 Del Mar Heights got a whopping 0.17" from this marine layer explosion. Only a light mist in Irvine.

Guest happ Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 Coolest day since mid June but maybe not record cold maximums. In-any-event, today was a great cooldown across the Southwest.

Anti Marine Layer Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 Smoky smell in the air this morning. Not sure where it's coming from with the strong onshore flow, but probably somewhere to the south of Orange County as the eddy can bring in the south winds. Clearing is much faster this morning, but still slow for this time of year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest happ Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 NWS_Phoenix"Last night, dewpoints around the Phoenix metro actually fell into the upper 20s and dewpoints this low are rare in August; the last time they were this low this time of year was in 2013. While current dewpoints are still hovering the lower/middle 40s, some 30s will be likely by sunset and the dry air along with the clear skies will result in favorable radiational cooling conditions across much of Arizona. Essentially a persistence type forecast tonight with lows falling into the delightful 60s and 70s." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will happen rather slowly, over about a 2.5-hour period, starting at 9:05 a.m.Experts expect it will peak here just before 10:22 a.m. “At that point the sun will kind of look like a tilted smile in the sky,” E.C.

Anti Marine Layer Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 This year we had a brief period of May Gray/June Gloom followed by a very hot second half of June, a brief cool down in early July, followed by very hot and humid weather for and first few days of August with an active monsoon. Since then we have been dominated by troughs and an inactive monsoon, much like most of last summer. This morning was only partly cloudy with low clouds, but they had the appearance of a marine layer at least 2000 ft. deep. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anti Marine Layer Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 Looks like solar eclipse on Monday morning could be blocked out by marine layer, but thin marine layer clouds that you can just barely see the sun through could have the same filtering effect as eclipse glasses. Unfortunately I will be in Cancun the day of the eclipse. I am flying there early Saturday morning and returning the following Saturday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anti Marine Layer Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 It is exceptionally gloomy this morning, which probably means no sun for the beaches, and clouds not clearing to the coast until noon. My forecast time for the clouds breaking up here in Lake Forest is 10:30 am, which is about the same time as the maximum eclipse on Monday. Also the trip to Cancun has been cancelled because a hurricane is supposed to hit this week according to one of the forecast models. No the real reason is my dad found some article last night about evil Mexican "policemen" who hate American tourists and demand large amounts of money or even threaten to take them to jail. He really could have found that thing weeks ago and discussed it instead of screwing up our vacation plans the night before we were supposed to leave. :( Wikipedia A significant number of United States citizens visit Mexico; the U.S. State Department estimates it at 15 to 16 million per year.[36] Tourists visiting Mexico may face a number of problems related to criminal activity, including:Extortion by law enforcement and other officials.Kidnappings, particularly in northern border cities.Taxi robberies and armed robbery.Purse-snatching and pickpocketing.Due to crime reaching a critical level in Mexico City and many other areas, tourism to Mexico has suffered.[37]Recently, Verdugo-Yepes, Pedroni and Hu ([38]) applies a panel structural vector autoregression model to model the effects of crime on GDP growth and foreign direct investment (FDI) at the state and national level. But a hurricane still could hit if the forecast models are wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anti Marine Layer Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 AFDLOX is not updating, but according to AFDSGX, marine layer depth has already neared 3000 ft this morning. Normally that would bring clouds to the entire Inland Empire. Still looking like my forecast clearing time of 10:30 AM could be pretty accurate.

Orange county marine layer pattern follows the eddy circulation meaning more stratus than LA but less than San Diego. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
