Anti Marine Layer Posted October 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 Only partly cloudy this morning, although it was overcast when I went to bed last night. Marine layer did deepen, but offshore flow must already be taking effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan the Weatherman Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 Still in CA for now, but heading to Eugene on 11-2. As is common in these sorts of setups with ridging at the upper levels and a very weak offshore gradient at the surface, I recorded some of the warmest overnight lows in the country with 64 degrees last night and 68 the night before. You must have some localized downslope flow in your area being next to the foothills that help to keep minimums up in your area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anti Marine Layer Posted October 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 Very hazy and humid with no sign of offshore flow this evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anti Marine Layer Posted October 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 Here's a graph of the daylight gain/loss for Fullerton, CA. Note that due the Equation of Time, which is the difference between mean solar time (as shown by clocks) and apparent solar time (indicated by sundials), we lose a lot more daylight in the afternoons than the mornings right after the Fall Equinox. The Equation of Time has its minimum value around November 3. This is the earliest solar noon of the year - about 16.5 minutes before 1200 UTC in Greenwich, England. By mid December, solar noon is getting almost 30 seconds later each day. The Equation of Time has its maximum value around February 11. This is the latest solar noon of the year - about 14.25 minutes after 1200 UTC in Greenwich, England. We are currently nearing the November 3 minimum of the Equation of Time, at which point the morning and afternoon loss/gain are equal (red and blue lines intersect). After November 3, we lose more daylight in mornings than the afternoons. For Fullerton, the earliest sunset of the year is where the red line intersects 0 minutes on the Y axis. This happens around December 4. The December Solstice is where the black line intersects 0 minutes on the Y axis. The latest sunrise of the year is where the blue line intersects 0 minutes on the Y axis. This happens around January 7. Note that we are referring to the earliest sunset and latest sunrise in UTC time. Currently, we have later sunrises than on January 7 now with Daylight Saving Time still in effect. Finally notice that amount of morning daylight loss increases each day after the Fall Equinox until leveling off in mid November. It is not until mid December the amount of morning daylight loss is the same as around the equinox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 Looks like I'm getting out of town just in time for another week or two of very warm, dry weather. No rain anywhere in California on the GFS all the way out to 384 hours.I heard there was some pretty cruel fog this morning. Probably almost felt like summer was over for a few hours.

Anti Marine Layer Posted November 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 No strong winds here today, but this afternoon was much warmer than yesterday afternoon. Sunset is becomingly ridiculously early, even with Daylight Saving Time still in effect, but it's fun to see the long shadows when I walk my dog after work.
