Reg Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 105.3F here today. Almost sunset and it's still 96F outside. Also noticed some cumulus off to the far east today, over the San Jacinto Mountains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anti Marine Layer Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 High of 86 at Avalon Airport, since they are 1500 ft high, above the marine layer. Avalon Harbor only made it to the low 70s. Meanwhile Paso Robles started overcast this morning at 57, but got over 100 by the afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anti Marine Layer Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 Most of the really cold water is from Los Angeles County and north. Usually it does not get past Pt Conception/Lompoc this time of year. However, it seems some nights the northwest winds were so strong that it disrupted the low clouds over parts of Los Angeles County, with Downtown L.A. starting out sunny while Orange and San Diego counties were cloudy.

Pn1ct0g3n Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 I wish were having Houston weather right now... hhin.PNGI actually loved the high humidity that’s been common in our summers in recent years, and I love me a good thunderstorm. I don’t meet too many others around here who like that tropical feeling, but I can’t get enough. And 2020 is failing to deliver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pn1ct0g3n Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 Definitely more typical of late July/early August here in MB today. Still a bit on the cool side but fog-free and much less windy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder98 Posted July 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 Still cloudy right now but the sun is trying to come out. This has to be the most gloomiest July since 2010. It's so weird how Sunny and bipolar the temps were during the May and the first half of June for Santa Maria then once the 2nd half of June hit, it became much cloudier and cooler ever since.

Pn1ct0g3n Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 For MB we enjoyed a very warm May and June (2014 levels of warm) with some cool/gloomy periods. The second half of July is where things went south for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anti Marine Layer Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 Colder water in Orange County and San Diego County seems to be more localized to the beaches. I have also heard a Catalina Eddy will pull up warmer warmer, as there is a more southerly component to the breezes. Might have one starting later this weekend.

Anti Marine Layer Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 Looks like an eddy has already spun up with low clouds moving in from the south.

Anti Marine Layer Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 Southerly surge has reached San Diego and dropped temperatures there. There was also a noticeable cool breeze coming from the south this morning here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pn1ct0g3n Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 Dawned warm and balmy in MB. How hot I turn my shower in the morning is a good proxy for overnight lows; I’ve had it almost piping hot all July which is atypical. This morning I only turned it up to lukewarm, indicating the low must have been over 63 or so. If the low is over 68, I use no hot water at all. Conversely if it’s below 50 I turn it up to near scalding and want to stay in much longer. Southerly surge you say? Any idea when it will reach LA County? Fingers crossed for the eddy to bring warmer water our way. Wind still W @ 6 here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anti Marine Layer Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 Southerly surge seen here. Funny forecast discussion Two southerly surges are impacting our region this morning, one inthe desert and one along the coast. In the desert, the heat is onthe rise, but lower deserts are running from 9 to 18 degrees offyesterday's incredible pace at this time of morning. Humidity waslow overnight, allowing for desert areas to cool into the 80sovernight (unlike early Friday), but a healthier gulf surge hasbrought higher dew points and humidity into the lower desert,explaining the much slower temperature climb this morning. It'sactually quite windy in the Imperial Valley and Yuma. The higherdew points should mix out some today and allow for a good rise intemps this afternoon, but may not come very close to theimpressive numbers from Friday, or those in our forecast. A fogbank developed overnight along the coast in Mexico and the coastaleddy did not wait for his turn, but cut to the front of the line.The southerly surge of fog has already shrouded southwest SanDiego County and will be touching most of the county's coast attimes today. Orange County should start getting it late afternoonand evening. This robust move by the marine layer prompted aforecast update to accommodate mention of coastal fog during theday, more coastal clouds overall through evening, and to lower maxtemps near the coast. Luckily, this fog is not on the deck, asvisibility at North Island was reported at a non-hazardous 2.5miles. Patchy dense fog is possible today and tonight, but on thecoastal mesas. That fog bank will have to contend with a very hotand dry air mass not too far inland. That will make cloud/fogcoverage tricky to forecast tonight into Sunday. Strong highpressure aloft that has been sponsoring our heat wave has alreadybegun to relent and will continue to do so as a trough along theNorthwest coast deepens a little over the next few days. This willfeed the coastal eddy, allowing for greater coverage of lowclouds and fog farther inland each night/morning through at leastWednesday. It will also bring a meaningful cooling trend.Starting Tuesday we'll begin to see max temps fall below normal.No real change later next week as the weak West Coast trough keepsthe flow aloft dry from the southwest and temps near to slightlybelow normal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pn1ct0g3n Posted August 2, 2020 Report Share Posted August 2, 2020 Extended forecast calls for at least six consecutive days of coastal chill, with highs failing to break 70 and lows as cool as 58. Record-challenging nighttime lows for Manhattan Beach in early August I believe. Those temperatures are very May-like and I haven’t seen a July or August night fall below 60 since 2010 or maybe 2011. I’m keeping an eye out for premature fall color on the trees here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
