That inversion must be super strong today, as 2000 ft marine layers usually do not take so long to burn off.

Rain Watch to the north; maybe 0.50 down here

Marine layer will likely get wiped out following the weekend storm. Until then, looks like the early May Gray continues.

Prepare for nothing and hope for something

 

April could be an active month per Euro

 

NorCal reservoirs are full

I didn't feel the Channel Islands earthquake earlier today here in Orange, despite reports of it being felt in Rancho Santa Margarita and San Clemente.

I felt it but it wasn't strong in this area.

Getting rain in April is always an iffy situation but so far there haven't been significant periods of ridging this spring. Personally I like the usual transition to marine cloudiness for relatively cool days/ mild nights. 

 

[Anti Marine Layer]

Marine layer inversions cause bad air quality. Burnoff was faster today.

 

I did not feel the earthquake here either.

[Guest happ]

The cold front still looks impressive but the low is spinning too far north as usual

 

Friday: 73/ 55

Not looking like much rain. Once again everything is too far north of us.

Plenty of warmth is coming through the clouds.

Muggy/ cloudy becoming mostly clear; no rain

Definitely warmer than a typical early spring deep marine layer day today. Looks like Monday and Tuesday could be hot away from the beaches.

[Guest happ]

Backdoor stratus formation this morning as clouds moved west toward LA out of the San Gabriel valley.  Quick warm up this week followed by a cold ULL.

Did SoCal get any rain?

Did SoCal get any rain?

 

No but Lake Forest where Mr Marine Layer lives picked up 0.03. Front fell apart south of Santa Maria/ Bakersfield.

Pleasant day for outdoor activities

Nice day today after low clouds burned off. Could be a hot one tomorrow.

First 'real' hot day of the year. Great shot of cloud formation over Borrego Springs

First 90° plus day of 2018.  Typically the first 90's occur in March though there are several santa ana wind-favored areas [mainly in Orange/ San Diego counties] that record low 90's during winter.

Hot today, but it was a dry heat.

[Guest happ]

SST up to 68F [TORREY PINES OTR]. Warm for spring.

Euro shows a hell of a late season storm for SoCal on 4/20.

10 days out is never reliable, but we could get something.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Big cool down expected for tomorrow. Deserts also look to become quite windy, which is typical for spring.

Should be a miserably cold day out there wind chills possibly in the 60s.

[Guest happ]

Glad that active weather continues even if rain doesn't.

[Anti Marine Layer]

No fog here this morning so far, but sometimes it arrives after sunrise. It looks like today should be much cooler.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Still pretty warm today, but the onshore breezes are starting to develop.

Cooldown underway; wind advisory tomorrow.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Marine layer clouds are quickly approaching and filling up the sky.

[Guest happ]

Wind is picking up now; good day to fly a kite.

[Guest happ]

Quite windy/ sometimes dusty all day

[Anti Marine Layer]

It took a while for the wind to arrive here. First thing that had to happen was for the marine layer to get wiped out. Also I am not in a very windy area.

 

There were some nice high clouds around sunset.
