Anti Marine Layer Posted July 26, 2021 Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 Phoenix forecast discussion An incredibly anomalous and complicated flow pattern continues over the SW Conus with the original closed negative PV anomaly sheared westward over SE California and absorbed into secondary shortwave descending from southern NV. This evolution is occurring south of a subtropical ridge which has quickly migrated from western NV into northeast UT over the past 12-24 hours. Further complicating matters, another well defined easterly wave was surging NW from western Sonora which will act to enhance lift across much of southern CA the remainder of today. As has been common the past several days, pockets of ascent will be coincident with an unusually moist environment characterized by boundary layer mixing ratios 12-14 g/kg and PWats in excess of 2 inches. While instability will be limited by poor lapse rates, warm rain processes will result in efficient rain producers with the most persistent showers potentially anchored on terrain features or aligned with each leading vorticty lobe. HREF members suggest an increase in shower activity through the morning (50-70% POPs) with the more robust and heavier action eventually becoming relegated to mountain areas just outside the forecast area boundary later in the day.

Pn1ct0g3n Posted July 26, 2021 Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 Some big drops fell earlier. But that stable ocean air doesn’t go quietly. I was hoping an outflow boundary would develop and mix out the marine layer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunder98 Posted July 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 Despise the clouds clearing past 11 today, It warmed up very nicely the moment sun came out. Currently in the mid 70’s with dews at 59F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pn1ct0g3n Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 Sun has yet to peek out at west facing LA county beaches though other coasts (except SDC) are clearing nicely. Cloud cover extends several miles inland and persists all day, rather unusual for late July. Monterey of all places cleared out while the rest of that coast up past Santa Cruz is socked in.

Pn1ct0g3n Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 NOAA’s map doesn’t seem to reflect this quite yet. A NW wind pattern has returned and it doesn’t take long for it to start cooling down the water. Nothing out of the ordinary in the extended forecast…expect near normal temps.
