2022-2023 California and Southwest Weather Thread

[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.

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.

Rare to see this so widespread:

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?

Exciting day

[Reg]

Got rained on in south Los Angeles this morning. Nothing here in Murrieta, though.

Downtown L.A.'s high of 50F on February 25th was the first time a high of 50F or lower was recorded there since February 24th, 2001 - 22 years ago.

[Anti Marine Layer]

We have reached Page 99. The below normal streak lives on at 13 days. Most likely it will not reach 99 days. 

[Anti Marine Layer]

Part of the drizzle storm has moved through.

Wet ground this morning.

Snow levels could go up to 8000-10000 feet. Much warmer storms ahead!

[Hawkeye]

Today's op Euro 10-day precip... two big storms, one later this week and one next week, with plenty of lighter precip in between the biggies.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Offshore flow and above average temperatures are phenomena that now have their rightful place in the dustbin of history for CA.

Until the next year when we get stuck in a ridge pattern again, with more fires and drought. 

Climate change sucks.

[Anti Marine Layer]

WINDY out there.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Long time no 18.3 C (65 F)

[Anti Marine Layer]

RECORD snowpack depth for Southern Sierra Nevadas.

[Anti Marine Layer]

As confirmed by Cliff Mass, the last 2 weeks for L.A. is the coldest period for that time of year ON RECORD!! 

[Anti Marine Layer]

Very small chance we could reach 70 on Thursday. Bigger chance that we reach 65 for the first time in 17 days.

So you're telling me there's a chance? Yes!

[Anti Marine Layer]

Another day of dominant onshore flow over a chilled out ocean.

Downtown L.A.'s high of 50F on February 25th was the first time a high of 50F or lower was recorded there since February 24th, 2001 - 22 years ago.

For a wider context, the last time that Downtown L.A. recorded a high below 50F (<49F) was on February 2nd, 1979. High that day was amazingly 46F. Those kind of days appear to be long gone for Downtown L.A., granted the station has relocated closer to the coast and lower in elevation since then (moved in July 1999) which may affect these readings.

The coldest high temperature ever recorded in Downtown L.A. was 43F on January 29th, 1922.

[Anti Marine Layer]

One more day in the polar jet stream pattern.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Fullerton ended their below 65 streak. Downtown LA keeps theirs alive. 

[Anti Marine Layer]

It's another chilly een
