Anti Marine Layer Posted May 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 Suddenly the sun is in my eyes after a very gloomy, chilly day. Hope that bodes well for some nicer weather tomorrow. Challenge: Find another place in the Northern Hemisphere beside the California coast where highs can be 90 in January and 60 in June.

Anti Marine Layer Posted May 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 Probably not that unusual historically. In Mr. Marine Layer's dream world where global warming is even faster and more severe it would probably never happen, though.100 degree heat is not pleasant and neither is 50 degree cold, but I prefer hot weather over cold weather. Like the last election, people did not vote based on the candidate they liked, as both were very unpopular, but voted against the one they hated the most. So if I had to choose between constantly 55 and overcast vs. constantly 100 and sunny, I'd take constantly 100 and sunny if those were the only 2 choices. My ideal conditions would be sunny and 75-80 degrees, but if that were not on the ballot, I could not pick it. Also I do think there is climate change, but believe the global warming the media is trying to scare us about is just another exaggeration as the media always needs to have something to scare us about. Also, after this past election, I've lost all trust in the media. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anti Marine Layer Posted May 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 After another record-breaking cold May day, the low clouds have temporarily disappeared and there's a smell of smoke in the air. I assume some fire in Camp Pendleton again. If only other places could have picked up as much rain as Lake Forest did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan the Weatherman Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 Wow, snow in May in Southern CA! Snow Summit is a ski resort in the San Bernardino Mountains in the Big Bear Lake area, which is to the ENE of Los Angeles and north of San Bernardino. Big Bear Lake itself is at over 6,000 ft. in elevation, while the base of Snow Summit is almost 7,000 ft. and the top is just over 8,000 ft. Snow does occur at these elevations from time to time in the early to mid spring if a cold enough storm system affects the area like the storm that just came through.

Maybe it is someone's fireplace you are smelling as it has been colder than average the last couple of days. I wouldn't think there are any brush fires around here in this type of weather, unless there is an arsonist on the loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest happ Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 The mostly dry upper low is now producing snow in the Rockies and severe thunderstorms in Texas. 90F temps look likely [at least inland] this weekend for the first time since mid April.

Anti Marine Layer Posted May 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 Transition day today. This morning the Inland Empire was cloudy while the coastal areas were clear. Not unusual for a pattern change from strong low pressure to strong high pressure. Still noticed some cumulus clouds this afternoon from the residual moisture, but temperatures everywhere were about average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anti Marine Layer Posted May 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 Sunrise is 5:59 AM this morning. If Kansen Chu were to stop DST in California, we'd have sunrises at 5 AM this time of year, which is not exactly appealing to me. Neither would be the pathetically early sunset of 7:04 PM on summer solstice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anti Marine Layer Posted May 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 Do model output statistics factor in SST? I am not sure if they do or not.
