[Anti Marine Layer]

Low clouds have filled in over the coastal waters.

[Omegaraptor]

Phoenix possibly making a run at 120 on Sunday?

 

Could see 600dam heights in AZ and NM.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Going to get hot away from the coast.

[Anti Marine Layer]

If they close the beaches again, things could get awfully crowded away from the sand, especially in places like Laguna Beach where people can go shopping or just strolling through town.

[Anti Marine Layer]

59 for the high in Morro Bay today.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Yesterday Morro Bay reached 64 while Fullerton reached 102. Today, it's not as hot here, but feels more humid.

 

Looks like Flagstaff gets some monsoonal moisture this week, while California's climate remains boring other than the lovely microclimates.

[Anti Marine Layer]

We had a time when Morro Bay was 59 and Paso Robles was 105 today. Still remember than one time we were camping in a place near Paso Robles (Lake Nascimento) and said we'd drive to the beach to get away from the oppressive heat. We ended up freezing to death in the fog. Going back inland around sunset, it was still very warm, but not hot anymore.

So you’re a ghost. Knew it.

Hit 110F at my house on Saturday.

Ghosts don't feel heat and cold.

Monterey Bay Area is struggling to clear today.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Low clouds have reached into the Inland Empire, but the deck itself is rather thin.

 

No sign of monsoonal moisture any time soon.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Some places north of L.A. have No Sky July today.

 

Meanwhile, a mockingbird is singing its heart out in our backyard. So far it has been shutting up after dark.

[Anti Marine Layer]

To record a mockingbird ...

No sign of monsoonal moisture any time soon.

 

It stuck around until around 9 this morning.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Paso Robles only hit 77 today (compared to 89 yesterday and 108 on Sunday).

[Anti Marine Layer]

Low clouds not as far inland this morning, but a little bit thicker than the past 2 mornings. Boring weather as usual.

[Anti Marine Layer]

It was a rather cool July day today.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Could get hot by the weekend, but nothing extreme.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Feels more like June than July here this morning.

 

Anyone in So Cal able to find Neowise last night?

[Anti Marine Layer]

[Anti Marine Layer]

Absolute stupidity. People should make their dogs poop in front of Lake Forest City Hall in protest.

 

[Anti Marine Layer]

Morning stared out sunny here, with marine layer mainly affecting San Diego County.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Maybe some monsoonal moisture next weekend, but I would not count on it.

[Reg]

Marine layer has stopped appearing here inland again.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Monterey Bay has a wind tunnel effect.

 

Here's what Wikipedia says about Salinas, which is probably the same distance from the ocean as Lake Forest.

 

Salinas has cool and moderate temperatures, due to the "natural air conditioner" that conveys ocean air and fog from the Monterey Bay to Salinas, while towns to the north and south of Salinas experience hotter summers, as mountains block the ocean air. Thus, Salinas weather is closer to that of the Central Coast of California, rather than that of inland valleys, and thus has a mild Mediterranean climate with typical daily highs ranging from around 63 °F (17 °C) in the winter to around 75 °F (24 °C) in the summer.

Flagstaff has had thunder the last few days, but not much rain with it.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Only 77 today in Downtown L.A. it was at least in the mid 80s here.

[Anti Marine Layer]

UCI was cool, breezy and even had some dampness in the air, despite the lack of any marine layer clouds.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Some low clouds this morning, but they did not last very long at all.

[Anti Marine Layer]

No-sky July for many areas north of Pt Conception today.

[Reg]

I was in Oceanside today, marine layer retreated out to sea right when I got there.

[Anti Marine Layer]

We are cooling off quickly this evening.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Only a few low clouds here this morning, but the ocean is buried in clouds.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Low clouds mysteriously ditched Los Angeles County this morning. Drizzle possible by tomorrow morning however, as our nonsoon continues.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Lots of monsoonal moisture just to the north of us. A few high clouds drifted over, which is more interesting than marine layer clouds or clear skies.

[Anti Marine Layer]

The town where John Steinbeck lived has some really lousy summer weather.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Downtown L.A reached 80 today. This has not been happening much in the last week.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Nice afternoon here with some more mid to high clouds moving in. May be the closest thing to monsoonal moisture we see this year.

[Thunder98]

Marine Layer has been really awful this July, gloomiest July in a long time. Ugh
