Yeah, if the marine layer is relatively deep but burns off quickly it often means higher highs near the coast than if it were shallow.

The Marine layer was very shallow today on the Central Coast and the visibility was under 0.25 mi. During the Noon hour for the 5 minute updates, it looks like it went up to 82F unofficially for the Santa Maria Airport. Dew points are high again today. It does help that the Santa Maria Airport is 12 miles away from the ocean.

Just be thankful that we don't live in Morro Bay. They only had a high of 64F with the marine layer lasting almost all day.

That sounds like paradise.

high here today was 102F, and the temperature is remaining very warm and not cooling down at all this evening. Also poor air quality today.

You can literally go from oven to refrigerator in less than an hour by driving from Paso Robles to Morro Bay. Don't forget your sweatshirt.

The ITCZ is very quiet between 115W and 150W. No thunderstorm activity. A small leak of high level moisture going to California through a shallow saddle of the Pacific high. Coming from the cluster of storms at 170W area. Weak flow. A ways to go before any kind of a fall feel. Maybe Olaf can help wet SoCal if he can get north of the Baja.

Sounds like that La Niña is here to stay. Very strong Pacific high has kept our ocean cool and ensured that anything interesting fizzles out before it reaches the coast. Olaf is sadly expected to track west into the open ocean, away from us.
