Who Did it?

Recommended Posts

I know it was one of you traveling from out of town, but someone brought crappy weather with them for today. Its supposed to clear tomorrow by the afternoon but I know this is someone's fault because yesterday the weather report looked nice and sunny. . .Isn't it a rule that the sun is supposed to shine at boogies? I know I read this somewhere. . .:S

:P

According to our friends at the National Weather Service.. It's an onshore gradient. Here's the internal forecast product (as opposed to the 1-line summary they feed the public usually)

---
VERY STRONG ONSHORE GRADIENTS AHEAD OF AN UPPER TROUGH MOVING ACROSS
CA THIS AFTERNOON COMBINED WITH A COASTAL EDDY HAS DEEPENED THE
MARINE LAYER TO AROUND 4500 FEET. CLOUD BASES ARE AROUND 1800
FEET...MEANING A VERY THICK CLOUD LAYER IS IN PLACE ALONG WITH A
VERY STRONG INVERSION. AREAS OF DRIZZLE WILL BE POSSIBLE INTO THE
AFTERNOON...WITH THE BEST CHANCES IN THE INLAND VALLEYS AND THE
COASTAL SLOPES. BURNOFF WILL BE MUCH SLOWER THAN NORMAL (IF AT
ALL)...AND WE WILL LIKELY BE IN A REVERSE CLEARING PATTERN WITH
COASTAL SECTIONS SEEING PARTIAL CLEARING BEFORE THE INLAND VALLEYS.

ONCE THE TROF PASSES...COLD AIR ADVECTION ALOFT WILL WEAKEN THE
INVERSION SLIGHTLY...BUT STILL EXPECT A DEEP ENOUGH LAYER FOR PATCHY
DRIZZLE TO FORM TONIGHT AND EARLY SATURDAY.

AS THE UPPER TROUGH MOVES INLAND SATURDAY NIGHT...HIGH PRESSURE WILL
BEGIN TO BUILD ALG THE WEST COAST SUNDAY. INCREASING HEIGHTS AND A
SHALLOWER MARINE LAYER WILL RESULT IN QUITE A WARMUP SUNDAY AND
MONDAY. AN EDDY WILL KEEP THE COASTAL SECTIONS FROM WARMING UP AS
MUCH AS THE MARINE LAYER WILL KEEP TEMPS IN CHECK.

So you're saying I'm not missing much, eh? Socked-in here (Newport Beach) at the moment w/ a ceiling of 2200 feet and falling. I've got a flight lesson at 5 and I'm hoping it doesn't fall any further.
Hope it improves, I'm heading to Perris tomorrow morning.
See you there, just hopefully not in the Bombshelter until late in the evening.

So has it cleared up out there yet?

I just made an appointment to do my refresher jump out there on Sunday, but I'll also be out there tomorrow night for the barbecue.

Hope you guys get to do some jumping today! I'll see ya'll tomorrow. :)

Nope, up here in Seattle, it's that it's always raining for boogies, just like this weekend. I haven't jumped in so long I think I'm just gonna pass out or somethin'.[:/][:/][:/]

I can't stand all this blue sky any more, we have had it for weeks on end now, a gentle breeze 92 degrees not a cloud in the sky and loving the reasons for living in FL :-)

have an awesome weekend ...... hope the weather improves, I am sure it will. :-)
