Guest happ Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 That is the onshore flow behind the remnants of Lidia. Sounds like you are getting hit really hard. Makes the situation in Texas seem like a day in the park. Puts your endless complaints of daily rain/ limited "sun breaks" each winter in correct perspective, huh Tim?

Dan the Weatherman Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 I picked up 0.10" from Lidia's remnants yesterday here in Orange. For a good part of the early to mid afternoon, it really didn't look as if much was going to happen here. However, the cloud deck lowered and grew darker as thunderstorms developed over the Inland Empire and moved west and it finally rained for a little while in the late afternoon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest happ Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 Encouraging signal was the drop below 70° this morning across valley areas due, in part to clear skies but relative humidity ranged between 80 - 100%. That was a brutal heat wave for California like a fiery bookend to summer. The relentless heat during June, especially in NorCal also featured extreme dew points at times. I feel dread that Miami may become the next Houston. But the South/ East Coast have enjoyed a cool late summer unlike Pacific NW.

Anti Marine Layer Posted September 7, 2017 Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 I'm back from Catalina, where I could see the thunderclouds in the distance today. Despite starting out sunny, it was still a very hazy day, with Catalina disappearing about half way back to Newport Beach. It is a beautiful place there with the Casino Point Dive Park having way more fish than I've ever seen in any tropical location. They are not as colorful as the tropical fish though, except for the orange giribaldi, which the babies have bright blue spots on. Only annoying thing about Avalon is there's more noisy, stinky golf carts driving around and polluting the air than I've ever seen there before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An upper low just off the central California coast will dropsouthward today and tonight, and will be located about 300 mileswest of northern Baja Sunday morning. Mid and upper level flowacross the region will become southeasterly on Sunday, and willtransport copious amounts of monsoonal moisture into SouthernCalifornia. In addition, the atmosphere will become increasinglyunstable Sunday afternoon and evening. As a result, there is achance of showers and thunderstorms across much of the area fromSunday morning through late Sunday night. While the winds in the mid and upper levels of the atmospherewill be rather strong, there is a high likelihood of trainingthunderstorms with very heavy downpours. This will result inthe potential for flash flooding, especially in the mountains, theAntelope Valley, the Cuyama Valley, and in recent burn areas suchas the Alamo, Whittier, La Tuna, Sand and Fish burn areas.Rainfall rates over one inch per hour are possible with thunderstorms. ...FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH LATESUNDAY NIGHT... The National Weather Service in Los Angeles/Oxnard has issued a * Flash Flood Watch for a portion of southwest California, including the following areas, Cuyama Valley, San Luis Obispo County Mountains, Santa Barbara County Mountains, and the recent burn areas in the Santa Ynez Valley. * Flash Flood Watch for a portion of southwest California, including the following areas, Antelope Valley, Los Angeles County Mountains excluding the Santa Monica Range, Ventura County Mountains, and the recent burn areas in the San Fernando Valley, San Gabriel Valley, and Santa Clarita Valley. * From Sunday morning through late Sunday night * Heavy rainfall with rates locally over 1 inch per hour is possible across the watch area. * In addition to the threat of flash flooding across the watch area, any thunderstorms that develop over the recent burn areas will bring the risk for debris flows. Due to the recent nature of the La Tuna, Sand, and Fish burn areas, they will be especially at risk for debris flows if these high rainfall rates occur.

Anti Marine Layer Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 Feels humid again today even with a dew point of 59. The eye of Hurricane Irma now looks to hit the west coast of Florida instead of the east coast. Looks like it should miss the Georgia coast. That could result in less widespread damage than originally thought, but either way it will still be terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
