Thunder98 Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 Wow! 2018 just flew by just like that and only 6 days until 2019. Hopefully we see a wetter January-April period with plenty of rain and snow up in the mountains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anti Marine Layer Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 Despite the strong Santa Ana winds, 2019 starts off dead as usual in the California thread. Rose Parade should be fun today with all the wind, and some of the bands will feel very cold, but adrenaline may help them to feel somewhat warm, and then there's always those crazy people who have shorts, T-shirts, and flip flops even when temperatures are near freezing and the wind is howling away.

Anti Marine Layer Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 Check out the sunset time today. Same time as November 5, which was the first workday in Standard Time. At that time solar declination was only 15.80 S. This morning on the 1st workday of 2019, declination is 22.89 S. Sunrise is 42 minutes later than November 5, however. That's because solar noon has shifted from 11:34 AM to 11:54 AM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anti Marine Layer Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 High clouds are starting to come in and hopefully portend some nice rain so that this topic can get some life in it. Sunset tonight is approximately the same time as the first day of Fall Back, way back on November 4. That is 2 months ago. Tomorrow it's about a minute later. Meanwhile latest sunrise is not until next Tuesday, but we're within 12 seconds of that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anti Marine Layer Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 And here it is. That first day of sunshine (sun not behind the hill) as I leave work this winter. Been nearly 2 months since I could see the sun like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anti Marine Layer Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 Some heavier rain has begun, but nothing too spectacular. Still mostly light to moderate. However, prolonged light to moderate rain is supposed to have the best irrigation effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anti Marine Layer Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 Downtown L.A. is getting some measurable amounts of rain from this storm as Santa Claus gave them nothing for Christmas.

Dan the Weatherman Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 Socal had a decent storm tonight with a period of locally heavy rain. The rain was heavier up in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties, and caused flooding and mudflows in Malibu, forcing a closure of a stretch of PCH.

Anti Marine Layer Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 After this storm, Downtown L.A. is up to 4.81" for the season, which is more than the 4.79" we had last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anti Marine Layer Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 Latest sunrise of the year today (in Pacific Standard Time) for Lake Forest, CA.

Anti Marine Layer Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 So much for that storm that was earlier forecast for today. Just a few low clouds this morning in a very disorganized marine layer and a few thin high clouds at times for the rest of the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anti Marine Layer Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 Finally 5:00 PM for the sunset time, but it was way too hazy tonight and last night to see Saddleback Mountain. Here is 2 days ago at 5:00 PM, however. The sun always seems to shine on Saddleback for a few minutes later than the calculated sunset time.

Dan the Weatherman Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 We had some thunderstorms last night. I heard a clap of thunder late Friday night / very early Saturday morning and saw a small flash of lightning, too. I received a total of 0.81" here in Orange with this last storm, and am looking forward to more rain this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan the Weatherman Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 Garden Grove (not too far from Disneyland) had some very heavy rain and enough hail to cover the ground in some areas late yesterday afternoon / early evening from a cell that moved through the area. That cell completely missed my area here in Orange, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anti Marine Layer Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 It's been raining pretty heavily for quite a while now. Downtown L.A. could get more rain in a week than they did from July 2017 through June 2018. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anti Marine Layer Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 Lots of needed rain here the last week, but it looks like a dry pattern is starting and possibly this could be the last significant rain of the winter. Good thing is that hills are green and fire danger is down for a while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anti Marine Layer Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 More than a month now since Winter Solstice and we still have not gained any light in the morning since that date.

Jesse Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Used to be. But with the new climate regime that started in around 2012, past performance no longer predicts future results. 2015-16 was a raging Niño and yet was very dry in SoCal from February on. Based on current model projections, there's every reason to believe this year will turn out similarly. I'd say the "fork" is a safer bet than any expectations of a 1997-98 redux.Time will tell! The STJ has been pretty beefy this winter. Wouldn’t surprise me to see it make its presence known again at some point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
