2020 - 2021 California and Southwest Weather Discussion Thread

[Anti Marine Layer]

Winds are already turning offshore. Last 3 weeks have been like a broken record, with storms missing Northern California while hitting Southern California, always ruining weekends, and sunny and warm to hot days with offshore flow during the workweek, usually peaking on Thursdays.

It rained here in Orange for awhile this morning, but the rest of the day has only been a few brief showers. I really thought a band of rain was going to come through the area this evening, but the low continued moving due south when I thought it was starting to turn toward the east.

Looks like all the rain in my area fell between 9:00 and 10:30 PM last night, nothing since. Mostly clear skies and dry winds kicking in now.

 

Got 0.10" from it.

[Anti Marine Layer]

It is ratber windy today witb some strange clouds.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Warm start to the morning. Wind was very strong last night, but has died down for now.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Oh oh! Sky is starting to look smoky.

[Reg]

Oh oh! Sky is starting to look smoky.

 

I saw that as well, looking to the north towards Corona and Riverside. I just went out for a walk, nice day for it. Warm.

I thought you like cold, overcast days like Sunday was.

[Reg]

I thought you like cold, overcast days like Sunday was.

 

I do, but a warm sunny day every once in a while isn't so bad either.

 

Could be looking at rain again this weekend.

[Dan the Weatherman]

0.14" in Lake Forest.

 

0.10" fell here in Orange with Sunday's storm.

[Dan the Weatherman]

Oh oh! Sky is starting to look smoky.

 

There was a brush fire in Norco earlier today that was in the riverbed, but I don't see much in the way of smoke on the webcams right now, so I am assuming the fire is getting under control now.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Smelling smoky again.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Not as warm today. Tomorrow is forecast to be warmer, though, just for one day.

 

Rain looking more possible next week, but would not be surprised to see the forecast totals go down again.

[Reg]

Tropical moisture is mentioned in one next week's storms, but I'm not holding my breath.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Still might get an atmospheric river next week, but for today there's a marine layer and it should feel a lot like spring.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Very hazy here today.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Still looking wet for next week. We will soon see what really happens.

[Thunder98]

I'm hoping we get to finally see widespread heavy rain and thunderstorms early next week.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Sunrise, at 6:10 AM, is finally one minute earlier than it was when we started Pacific Standard Time back in November. Then it's back to 7:09 AM tomorrow as we return to Pacific Daylight Time, but the sun will set at 6:53 PM.

 

Also no drizzle or light rain here so far.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Still nothing measurable for San Francisco Airport.

[Anti Marine Layer]

0.01" now for San Francisco Airport. Finally something measurable.

[Anti Marine Layer]

More sun than expected today, but still cool and windy.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Not looking like any measurable rain for tonight down here.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Lots of high clouds mixed in with the low clouds.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Nothing quite like a storm that gives a total of 0.00".

[Reg]

No rain here either, seems not much happened south of Point Conception. Hopefully next week's storm will be more existent.

[Anti Marine Layer]

We actually did get some rain here during the night. 0.03" for Foothill Ranch.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Wind is chilly again today.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Looks like forecast rainfall totals are already being reduced, despite at least a chance of showers every day from Monday night to next Sunday.

[Anti Marine Layer]

March averages cooler than November in Los Angeles, so it's quite ridiculous to have cool March days with the sunset around 7 PM, while in November we have warmer days with the sun setting before 5 PM.

[Anti Marine Layer]

High clouds are already starting to move in.

[Anti Marine Layer]

It's not the type of high clouds that create colorful sunsets.

[Anti Marine Layer]

They are now saying just showers instead of steady rain for tomorrow.

[Anti Marine Layer]

It was quite dark this morning.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Warmer today than yesterday with plenty of sunshine. Should be the last nice day for a while here.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Still lots of model disagreement for the upcoming storm.

[Reg]

Quite a wet week ahead in the forecast. If it actually happens, it would be our first significant wet weather since December 26.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Clouds have thickened up significantly from around 2 PM, when temperatures were in the mid 70s. There were a few sprinkles.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Still no rain. However, it's a cutoff low, so it's a weatherman's woe.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Looks like the AR could stay south of the border.

[Reg]

Rain began a couple of hours ago, but has been fairly light so far. 0.05".
