I see a little fire in Riverside County well east of you, otherwise webcams all around the region show clear conditions. I don't know if this the fire you were smelling the smoke from or a small fire closer to you.

Very windy in Thousand Oaks today. I came down here last year around this time and it was also really windy.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Still windy out there

[Anti Marine Layer]

@Reg has left us now.

4:44 PM for our sunset today with the 15 days of earliest sunset (4:42 PM) starting next Monday.

We are one month away from the Winter Solstice.

I'm sure he will be back when we finally have some weather other than sunshine, Santa Ana winds, or marine layer to talk about. 

[Anti Marine Layer]

Sunrise and sunset both got stuck for the first time this fall at 6:28 AM and 4:44 PM.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Solar noon is less than 14 minutes too early at Greenwich, England now.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Nice afternoon. Happy Thanksgiving Eve.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Happy Thanksgiving. Sunset tonight is about 4 minutes earlier than it is on Christmas. 

[Anti Marine Layer]

The onshore winds are arriving. 

[Anti Marine Layer]

Marine layer is making a siege.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Eddies bring in the south winds.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Utqiagvik cannot ever be thankful for sunshine on Thanksgiving.

Might see some drizzle tomorrow morning with this next inside slider that brought in the strong onshore push this afternoon, then it's back to offshore flow again.

Hopefully the Santa Anas are weaker this time around. Last week's event was really strong here in Orange.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Black Friday stampedes must be over already. 

Not much of an inversion is left.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Boring weather continues for a while, but we could get some rain late next week.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Chilly today

[Anti Marine Layer]

Sunset tonight is just 1 minute and 38 seconds later than the earliest sunset, which arrives in 10 days. Chances for rain late next week continue to look somewhat promising. 

[Anti Marine Layer]

No rain here from today's trough.

No rain here in Orange today, either.

[Anti Marine Layer]

A few low clouds still remain

[Anti Marine Layer]

Still not 100% gone.

[Anti Marine Layer]

No offshore flow to speak of

[Anti Marine Layer]

Chilly night

[Anti Marine Layer]

It's coming

 

[Anti Marine Layer]

Offshore flow is more evident today.

The Santa Anas came up last night here in Orange, but were much weaker than the previous event.

[Anti Marine Layer]

As usual not much to talk about.

Yeah, it has been awfully boring as of late when we don't have much in the way of storminess to talk about. I hope we get into a wetter pattern as we go into December, or I fear we may be in for a dry winter. This fall so far hasn't felt very El Nino like, either.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Sometimes the El Nino does not become that active until late December or early January.
