Weather Banter

[Anti Marine Layer]

High was 72F today, the next two days is forecasted to be cloudy and foggy all day.

It's that time of the year again. I see Jesse's ship coming in now that the low cloud layer has lifted from the dense fog stage. The stratus surged in quickly this afternoon.

We reached a high of 75 F today before the onshore push came in. Looks like 60s for at least a week now.

There's a chance of drizzle this morning as May Gray starts early. It's going to be cold and cloudy for quite a while now.

 

[Anti Marine Layer]

We have already picked up 0.06" from the drizzle here. It must be spring in Southern California, which is usually not much warmer than winter.

The USS Jesse arrived in Puget Sound this morning, which could guarantee another cool and drizzly spring with late jacarandas again. Somehow we haven't been able to break free from his curse since 2023.

Riverside was 77 F at 11:20 AM yesterday and it was only 57 F at that time today. This is not caused by a cold front.

May Grey has paid an early visit. Very gloomy today and had some morning drizzle

 

[Anti Marine Layer]

The forecast high of 78 F for Cabazon is not going to happen. Also I would expect Julian to get fogged in soon.

 

[Anti Marine Layer]

Cabazon fell 16 degrees short of their forecast high temperature today in one of the gloomiest March days ever.

Below normal is becoming the new normal for our spring weather here. The atmosphere is heating up faster than the ocean, which is strengthening the inversion. Some people say climate change will make the May Gray/June Gloom less of a factor, but the exact opposite appears to be occurring.

 

[Anti Marine Layer]

Much more sun here this afternoon as the inversion is apparently weaker. Yesterday was a fake cold day.

 

[Thunder98]

Sky is blanketed by cirro and altostratus clouds. Feels quite cool again today

Rain next week has almost been wiped out on WU

Rain next week has almost been wiped out on WU

Fairly typical for a Nina year. Offshore winds and fires in winter and a cool, cloudy spring with relentless onshore flow and very little rain.

 

[Tomcats Forever!]

Louisville hit 85 today, just under the old record for the day.

Couldn’t find the “weather questions” thread, so thought I’d post here. When a rotation is present on velocity radar, how much leeway should be given before one can assume that they are in the path of the tornado? Let’s say that the tornado is 1/4 mile wide. Is being double the assumed width from the circulation considered safe? There has to be a point where one is not going to be in the upcoming path. I know that the radar is shooting above the horizon and so the tornado is probably not going to be exactly where indicated, but how far off can it reasonably be?

 

[Anti Marine Layer]

We have quite a lot of seasonal lag here. October averages warmer than May.

 

[Anti Marine Layer]

Sun angle will exceed 60 degrees above the horizon here today.

The yellow mustard flowers have still not gone into bloom. Normally they would be around their peak by this time.

It's another reverse clearing day today with some cirrus clouds also headed our way.
