Dan the Weatherman Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 Today was a classic June day, the most springlike that it has felt in quite some time. The marine layer rolled in early this evening (between 8 and 9 p.m.) in typical May / June fashion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L: 61It is nice to finally have some classic spring days with the marine layer after the ridiculously hot May we just went through. As I have said before, years that had really hot spells in April and/or May often have a very nice June that is much more springlike.

The marine layer as our natural air conditioner and based on medium-range forecasts this week may see a lot of it.

Dan the Weatherman Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 It was warmer today than yesterday, but still not uncomfortable here in Orange. The marine layer now just coming in at this time (almost 2 a.m.) as opposed to early evening the last couple of days, which likely means an earlier burnoff and warmer temperatures tomorrow.

Guest happ Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Like an inside slider, this heat wave has been an inland event. Several areas hit 110°:Fresno, Coalinga, Wasco [111°], Bakersfield, Blythe [mostly in the San Joaquin Valley]. Stratus moving into the LA Basin could even produce drizzle in places tonight.

The marine layer came in while it was still daylight with stronger onshore flow, as opposed to last night when it came in late at night. It appears that typical spring weather will last through the remainder of the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan the Weatherman Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 It certainly has been much nicer this month so far than a good portion of May was. This seasonal weather pattern looks to continue for at least another 6 days or so before it is forecast to warm somewhat by next Wednesday.

Guest happ Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 June is behaving well if cooler more seasonal temps continue thanks to upper troughs w/ weak shortwaves mainly north.

NORTHEAST SISKIYOU AND NORTHWEST MODOC COUNTIES-MODOC COUNTY-http://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=mfr&wwa=freeze watch Richard was correct; there is a significant cool down across California this month. Slightly cooler weather is forecast in Socal the next 2-3 of days with highs likely staying in the 70's in inland Orange County. The marine layer was beginning to come in just around sunset this evening. I think we are finally getting a fairly long stretch of typical spring weather now which started at the beginning of this month or late May. It has been perfect for outdoor activities over this last week. I wonder if that Freeze Watch is for all elevations or just the highest areas. Howard Sheckter of mammothweather.com earlier this month was predicting some chilly temperatures possibly near or below freezing for the Mammoth area right before Father's Day based on the forecast movement of the MJO. This is likely the same cool air mass that Richard was forecasting for this month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan the Weatherman Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 It was quite breezy and cool today with very good air quality here in Orange. It actually was a bit cold last night with upper 50's late at night, as the sky remained cloud free late into the night allowing more radiational cooling to take place. The forecast is for warmer weather at the end of this week and into the weekend with highs in the 80's as opposed to the mid-upper 70's that we have had lately.

A deeper trough may affect the region late next week possibly bringing some drizzle to coastal Socal if current model solutions pan out, but it is still too early to know for sure.

Guest happ Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Follow the stratus. The air ocean temps fall slowly after sunset, tempered by the mild current [70°]. Further inland the lack of coastal clouds or late arrival [sometimes after sunrise] means cooler nights; warmer days.

There is even a possibility for the first monsoonal activity of the year if the Four Corners High builds in just the right place. EDIT: The latest forecast has taken the high temperatures down just a bit for next week, but it still looks pretty warm leading up to the Fourth. LONG RANGE OUTLOOK SATURDAY THROUGH NEXT TUESDAY...THE JET STREAM SHIFTS NORTH OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK...DISPLACED NORTHWARD BY AN EXPANSIVE RIDGE BUILDING OVER THE SOUTHWEST. THE RIDGE WILL BRING WARMER DAYS...A SHALLOWER MARINE LAYER AND LIGHTER MTN AND DESERT WINDS SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY. THE RIDGE BUILDS INTO A 595DM HIGH THURSDAY CENTERED OVER THE 4-CORNERS REGION. THIS PATTERN SUGGESTS A PERIOD OF HOT WEATHER NEXT WEEK WITH MAX TEMPS ABOVE 110 DEGREES IN THE LOWER DESERTS...AND HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER 90S IN THE INLAND EMPIRE. IF THIS 4-CORNERS HIGH MATERIALIZES IT WILL INCREASE THE POTENTIAL FOR SOUTHEASTERLY MONSOON FLOW TO DEVELOP. THE 12Z ECMWF DOES IN FACT HINT AT MONSOON MOISTURE ADVECTING INTO THE SOUTHWEST LATE NEXT WEEK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan the Weatherman Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Latest from San Diego AFD: WE STILL EXPECT SOMEWHAT OF A PATTERN CHANGE FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK AS THE EAST-WEST ORIENTED UPPER RIDGE OVER NW MEXICO/EAST PACIFIC MOVES OVER THE SOUTHWESTERN US. THIS WILL BRING HOTTER WEATHER INLAND...WITH TEMPS OF 5 TO LOCALLY 10 DEG F ABOVE NORMAL POSSIBLE BY MON OR TUE. THE MARINE LAYER WILL BE BETTER CONTAINED TO COASTALAREAS MOST LIKELY...AND THERE WILL BE LESS WESTERLY WIND IN THE DESERTS. GFS/ECMWF/GEM KEEP THE MOISTURE TO OUR EAST/SOUTHEAST THROUGH AT LEAST THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK...WITH ECMWF HAVING SOME MONSOONAL MOISTURE POSSIBLE LATE NEXT WEEK. GIVEN THE STRENGTH OF THE MONSOON OVER MAINLAND MEXICO LATELY AND ABOVE NORMAL SST IN THE FAR EAST PACIFIC...WE COULD HAVE AN ACTIVE MONSOON ONCE THAT MOISTURE ARRIVES IN SO-CAL. This summer could be more interesting than much of this past winter and spring once the pattern does get established. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
