The Weather Where You Live? (2 Viewers)

-From over 100° F to just above 60° F is a big enough change but our county and most of the state is under rain, flood and high wind warnings due to Hurricane Hilary.
-The Governor has already called out parts of the Guard and Las Vegas is already suffering floods even though the "tropical storm" is still down by Los Angeles.
-My age is really showing: when I was growing up hurricanes were in the Atlantic, cyclones were in the Indian Ocean and Pacific storms were typhoons. In fact, when I was still in the Army we studied the Navy/Marine Corps annually updated plans for the almost annual disaster response to cyclones in Bangladesh, and MANY Marines have told me they are NEVER wrong.

24C high, and still overcast morning and night.

Nice right now (23:00) at 70°F/21°C though with 80% humidity.

Supposed to reach 100°F/38°C and 80% humidity tomorrow. Bleh.

 

[GrauGeist]

Today's high was 77°F with wind and occasional torrential rain.
Currently 69°F with humidity at 90%, which is extremely rare for Northern California, but we're catching the edge of Cyclone Hilary, so it's to be expected.

Take care, Dave.
BTW, does the water shortage seem to be solved by Hilary?

Thank you, Shinpachi.

Our drought ended last winter with above average rain and snow.

Hilary did bring some rain (and strong winds) to this area yesterday, but it was much more severe in areas directly in the cyclone's path, like Southern California and south-western Nevada.

Currently, it's hazy with broken cloud cover (and solid overcast to the east, toward Nevada) with a temperature of 85°F and humidity at 70% (typical humidity this time of year is around 10%).

80F and smoke to the ground due to the large fires in Northern Cali. hazardous health warnings ~

You're up north, not as much of an issue I hope. Northern California is a completely different culture than Sacramento and below.

Central California can have similar weather on average, but with the delta and a broad plain between the Coastal and Sierra mountains, the weather patterns will vary.

Up here, in Shasta County, the northern portion of the central valley terminates in a "horseshoe", as we have the Sierra mountains to the east, the Coastal/Klamath mountains to the west and the Cascade mountains to the north - which is why the area can swelter under Meditteranean climate conditions.

As for Hilary, the storm slammed I to the San Bernardino mountains, which took away alot of it's punch, then got funneled into the Long Valley which forced it to followed the Eastern slope of the Sierras as it tracked north, so we just caught the fringe of the storm up here.

I beleive it was Cyclone Inez? (I may be wrong with the name) that came up from the Sea of Cortez and got caught in Long Valley and broke up over the Sierras, too, back in 2006 or 2007.

After 42+ days of no rain, it's been raining for about 20 minutes. Just enough to make Monday a humid mess.

 

[Peter Gunn]

Speaking of rain, we have a Tropical Storm (at the moment but with the waters in the Gulf of Mexico so warm it'll be a CAT 3 easy) with Clearwater dead in its sights. So I expect a bit of wind and rain by Tuesday.

Good thing I have my hurricane supplies stocked up...

AQ 400 we are screwed, smoke on the ground ~

84°F/29°C with 48% humidity, feels nice. Supposed to be the same low- to mid-80s for the rest of the workweek, then into the mid- to upper-90s for the weekend.

 

[N4521U]

24C and thunder storms??????????? WT?

 

[GrauGeist]

We're supposed to have rain by this Friday, which is unusual.

But I am trying to get the roof onto the toolshed and have waited for the moisture from hurricane Hillary to dry out of the subroof before I lay the felt and comp., so it totally makes sense...

 

[Torch]

Lots of rain and high winds with tornado warnings here in NE Florida

 

[Peter Gunn]

Yeah, Hurricane Iladia passed by in the Gulf some 80 odd miles out, we got plenty of wind and rain but nothing more. I don't pity the folks up near Cedar Key which is north of me and where it came ashore. I haven't checked but I think it made a pretty good mess up there.

 

[GrauGeist]

Just had a conversation yesterday with a person, who tried to tell me that tropical cyclone Hillary reaching California was the first and a sure sign of climate change - I tried to explain that since the 1800's, there have been ten such occasions, eight of which were before the 21st century.

But nope, they would not accept that fact.

The fact remains, though, that by virtue of oir cold water current offshore and geography, California has been spared from any Cyclone making landfall as anything more than a Tropical Storm.

That being said, I truly hope our forum friends and their families back east remain safe.
