2022-2023 California and Southwest Weather Thread

[Mr Marine Layer]

The eddy is spinning. 

[Mr Marine Layer]

Reverse clearing 

[Mr Marine Layer]

Good bye low clouds

[Reg]

Very gusty winds suddenly arrived here within the past two hours. Completely reversed the temperature drop this evening and warming up quickly now.

[Reg]

Sustained 25-35mph winds here right now. Just recorded a 41mph gust, officially the highest wind gust I've ever recorded at my weather station here since 2014.

[Reg]

Debris blowing all over my street right now. Several trees here have partially collapsed in the past few minutes.

Holy hell they winds are REALLY ripping out there right now. Gusting close to 50mph IMBY, and I see some stations in the foothills are over 70mph.

[Reg]

I've never seen a Santa Ana Wind episode affect my location even nearly this badly in all my years that I can remember.

It has been roaring and howling outside all night long. 41MPH remains my top gust ever recorded, my location is normally wind-sheltered.

No word from Marine Layer yet. NWS reports show Lake Forest and Irvine near him got hit pretty hard by the winds too.

Windy, windy, STORMY here in Sacramento. Hope my fence that came down during the Jan 7 wind storm and was temporarily repaired is going to withstand this. Redwoods are dropping some big branches again. Not as cold as it has been, currently 56F but the windchill makes it pretty unpleasant. 

In other news, I am excited to see that the forecast for rain resuming in about a week is becoming more certain. Keep drying out for a bit and then hit us with more water! 

[Mr Marine Layer]

VERY WINDY here. Backyard is a mess.

In addition to rising in Utqiagvik today, it just barely made it around the edge of the next door skyscraper today from my window before sinking behind the house across the street.

It's been pretty calm where I am, so the wind reports from you guys SE to me are peculiar since we are only talking about 20-30 miles difference.

This Santa Ana wind event must have been oriented somewhat differently than usual, because the winds were not that strong here in Orange as they usually are in a strong event like this. It turned out to only be moderate as opposed to strong and didn't do any damage in my yard.

[Mr Marine Layer]

Warmer today.

[roadtonowhere08]

This recent cold dry weather is great for waking up with a sore throat, nasal congestion, and continuous dry cough.

Bring back the rain!!!

My lips are getting chapped.

I already had that crap three times.  It's just the dry air messing with me.

[Mr Marine Layer]

Sunrise is 6:51 AM today, right about where it was on the Winter Solstice. Sunset is at 5:15 PM, which is 29 minutes later.

[Mr Marine Layer]

More wind expected tonight and tomorrow. 

[Mr Marine Layer]

It's starting 

[Mr Marine Layer]

Pretty hot in the sun

[Mr Marine Layer]

Things shall be careening. 

[Mr Marine Layer]

High of 76 for Fullerton today.

[Mr Marine Layer]

11 months until Christmas

[Reg]

No wind here tonight so far.

[Mr Marine Layer]

Wind has started up now.

[Mr Marine Layer]

Had a weird dream last night that all of the react icons were changed and that you could upload your own image as a react.

[Mr Marine Layer]

Not very windy here.

[Mr Marine Layer]

Semi-windy

[Mr Marine Layer]

Wind has messed up the backyard once again after the gardener came this morning. 

[Mr Marine Layer]

Annoying 

[Mr Marine Layer]

Bone dry. Be sure you're drinking enough to urinate every so often.

[Mr Marine Layer]

Wind should be winding down soon.

[Reg]

Today was the "warmest" day of the month so far with a high of 71F here. Low was 34F this morning.

[Mr Marine Layer]

Nice day today

[Mr Marine Layer]

Marine layer is deepening quickly. Complete 180 shift in the winds from 2 days ago.
