Despite the heat wave that is arriving over the next few days, it was quite chilly at dawn today up here. I treasured it, seeing where the temperatures are headed.

From NOAA at 9 am this morning: “A SMALL UPDATE FOR THE FORECAST WAS ISSUED THIS MORNING TO INCREASE HIGHS IN MANY LOCATIONS…PARTICULARLY NEAR THE WATER. HIGHS SHOULD BE IN THE 70S TO LOWER 80S AT THE COAST WITH 80S TO MID 90S INLAND.

AS HAS BEEN MENTIONED FOR MULTIPLE DAYS…EVEN HOTTER WEATHER CAN BE EXPECTED OVER THE WEEKEND INTO TUESDAY AS THE RIDGE BUILDS FURTHER INTO THE [AREA]. ALTHOUGH THERE IS GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT THAT INLAND SPOTS WILL SEE WIDESPREAD 90S WITH EVEN SOME LOWER 100S…WHAT THERE IS STILL LESS AGREEMENT ON IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN CLOSER TO THE COAST.

Oh, and I believe this is the last weekend of hunting season. Oh, joy!

  • We're cookin' here above Pfeiffer Beach. Hopefully the owner will put in that fire hydrant we've been needing for 10 years. At the very least - we hope he keeps the new H2O tank filled. Hope you're weathering the late summer well all the way up there. The swamp cooler is in full action mode today!
