Welcome! I would like some fog, please. Getting drier and hotter each day.

Any thoughts on the start of the SW monsoon? Last year it was a bit of a "nonsoon". Us in the big squarish states could use some more moisture, soon.

Welcome to the Forum and Central/West. 

 

 

Actually I find temperature forecasting quite interesting during the summer in California. One has to look at the marine layer from the coast into the valleys and the sea breeze later in the day. I find Southern California more forgiving. Some days a marine layer or sea-breeze forecast error can negate the other, saving a daily temperature forecast but the hourly may be a mess for a few hours. Northern California coastal valleys can be particularly unforgiving if one blows the marine layer and/or wind direction. Monsoon pattern also offers good forecast challenges. While temperatures do not make for good drama on a forecast forum, it is still interesting to follow.

 

Otherwise, live vicariously in the Plains for some real weather action. Again welcome to the board and region.

Thank you!

The temperature gradient in late spring, summer and through early autumn is quite interesting though.

Looks very quiet! No monsoonal moisture coming back to the Central Coast yet.

This is my 1st post here on Americanwx forums.   Very boring bland weather forecast for Santa Maria, California
