2022-2023 California and Southwest Weather Thread

[Anti Marine Layer]

Ready set onshore push

[Pn1ct0g3n]

Nice clearing for now but it could come rushing back in at any time.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Nothing but flat cumulus clouds today near the mountains. 

[Thunder98]

The weather here sucks

[Anti Marine Layer]

Nice day at the beach with only a few stratus clouds and not much wind.

[Minny_Weather]

First real heat wave of the summer will happen in September, cuz why wouldn't it?

[Anti Marine Layer]

Low clouds should make it further inland tomorrow morning. 

[Anti Marine Layer]

Stratus clouds still lurking towards the coast.

Once the Santa Ana Winds arrive, it will.

That dew point is icky.

[Pn1ct0g3n]

More passing clouds rather than a wall this time. Water temps in the Santa Monica Bay are keeping it balmy despite the passing trough (if they last, of course!)

[Anti Marine Layer]

Monsoonal moisture getting blown away.

[Reg]

Marine layer almost made it into the valley this morning. Only 91F today.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Low clouds have already made their move into here. It's a warm marine layer.

[Anti Marine Layer]

ML has deepened quite a bit.

[Thunder98]

[Anti Marine Layer]

Clouds are rather thin. No drizzlefest like last Sunday.

[Thunder98]

It's a little drizzly this morning

Colder water makes a difference. 

[Pn1ct0g3n]

Heat wave incoming mid week, though today will be on the cool side.

How much the beaches will feel it is always a guessing game. Away from the water they’re even saying records could be challenged on Thursday: https://marineweather.net/coastal/point-mugu-to-san-mateo-pt-ca-including-santa-catalina-and-anacapa-islands-coastal-forecast

[Anti Marine Layer]

Cleared out nicely south of Pt Conception 

[Reg]

Marine Layer made it here this morning for the first time in a long time. Only 90F this afternoon.

[Thunder98]

Next weekend looks very hot even for Santa Maria!
 

 

[Minny_Weather]

Every day after today looks like it will be in the 100s here, with perhaps 110 being scraped once or twice.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Heat wave is coming.

Yep, as it usually does during the Labor Day weekend.

[Pn1ct0g3n]

Meteorological summer about to go out with a bang and possibly give way to #Hotumn

[Minny_Weather]

Have to go well into GFS clown range until the heat wave goes away. It'll be with us for a while.

[Pn1ct0g3n]

Very breezy, more than it’s been in weeks.

[Thunder98]

I won’t be surprised if I see 100F this on Sunday and Monday.

The last time Santa Maria had a low if 70F was coincidencly was during the 2017 Labor Day weekend heat wave that brought pop up afternoon Thunderstorms to Santa Maria. Looks it could happen again

Digging up my August 2017 weather station data, I recorded 0.35" from thunderstorms here in Murrieta on the 31st. Very hot that week too.

Watch the temperature coming crashing down from 114F to 81F in the afternoon and the rain rate suddenly spike up to over 2" out of nowhere.

[Thunder98]

The 2017 Labor Day Heat Wave peaked at 106F, 4 degrees shy of the 110F high that occurred in June 2008.

 

 

[Anti Marine Layer]

Going to get pretty hot!

[Anti Marine Layer]

Could fall just short of 100 many days this Labor Day weekend. 

[Thunder98]

No marine layer this morning!

[Pn1ct0g3n]

2022 has been very 2011 or 2013-like: it was below normal almost the entire year and the heat finally kicked in around the second half of July.

With the ocean warmth holding, coastal areas are almost surely gonna feel the upcoming heatwave. And it’s over Labor Day. Get ready for the most crowded beaches in years!

[Anti Marine Layer]

Sun will be passing almost directly overhead in Panama City today.

[Pn1ct0g3n]

Natural AC hasn’t sputtered out for me yet. Plenty of cooling sea breezes; 75 here. But it should heat up down to the coast by tomorrow. 
 

They’re now saying it could rival the heatwave of 2020 with all time records challenged in valleys! Get ready to roast!
