After the graupel storm here earlier:

[Anti Marine Layer]

It's the SSW's fault. 

[Anti Marine Layer]

This is not Southern California anymore. 

[Anti Marine Layer]

Expect record low highs

[Anti Marine Layer]

We should finally have a chance to dry out some.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Storm is hitting Phoenix now.

Southern California was much colder during most of the 20th century compared to now.

Rare to see this so widespread:

[Anti Marine Layer]

14 record low highs today.

[Anti Marine Layer]

San Diego passed their annual average in rainfall totals today.

[Anti Marine Layer]

30 days remain for Downtown LA and Fullerton to reach 70 this March, but with the next 7 days expected to be well below normal, that gives 23 days.

[Timmy]

Have to imagine this would cause some serious issues.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Finally a nice sunny day without 50 mph winds.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Forecast models agree to disagree.

[Anti Marine Layer]

49 F so far for Phoenix. 

[Anti Marine Layer]

Disneyland had some snow showers yesterday. 

[Anti Marine Layer]

Snow on Saddleback is melting fast.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Still quite chilly today, but it felt warm compared to how it has been recently. 

[Anti Marine Layer]

Sun angle reaches 50 degrees on Saturday, but it could be cloudy again by then.

[Thunder98]

 

Its crazy how insanely warm March 2015 was. 27/31 days had highs above 70F, 9 days above 80F and 2 days above 80F! On March 14th, it reached 95F, which is the all time record high for the month of March!

I want a spring heat wave soon

[Anti Marine Layer]

More lousy weather is expected over the weekend. 

[Anti Marine Layer]

 Low clouds are ALREADY returning. 

[Anti Marine Layer]

Onshore flow alert 

[Anti Marine Layer]

More 50s on the way!!! 

[Anti Marine Layer]

It was pouring again and my roof started to leak and I was thinking what kind of a crazy marine layer this was...

Only to find out it was all just a dream. 

[Anti Marine Layer]

11 consecutive days of below normal now. 

[Anti Marine Layer]

The evil inversion is back 

[Thunder98]

Getting a taste of May Grey this morning with a very deep marine layer and drizzle.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Amazing to see all the people walking comfortably in t-shirts and shorts in this cold weather. Cannot imagine what 80 degrees feels like to them. 

[Anti Marine Layer]

Gunk is already up to the coastal slopes. Goodbye white mountains.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Reverse clearing now. Kicking the can for any change to warmer weather. 

[Anti Marine Layer]

G is for gunk 

E is for eddy

C is for cold and cloudy

K is for knowledge of how the gloom factory works in California and makes spring a pointless season

O is for obstruction of the mountains 

[Anti Marine Layer]

More snow for the Sierras.

Only 2.00" left to make this the wettest season in your signature.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Forecast models need to make up their minds. 

[Anti Marine Layer]

Who is ready for some more record low highs?

a) Me. Keep this glorious weather going on forever

b) Not me. I want a preview of some springlike weather

c) Neutral. I couldn't care less about the weather.

[Anti Marine Layer]

 

Cold SSTs caused by endless troughing. Are we headed for another year like 2010?
