Monterey Bay area has been under a heavy blanket of fog (marine layer).
For a couple weeks we have had heavy mist in the mornings and windy afternoons.

This pattern is more like the summer pattern.Oh well things are a changing.

Yep-a weather change is coming this week-from the 70-80's and sunny to the 20-40's and (get ready) SNOW!!!! And just as I was packing to head up to the Modoc on Wednesday too! Well as they say we need it bad or we will blow away or burn down this summer ! The weather report went from a 20% chance on Wednesday night to a 50-60% chance over night, wind is picking up-summer is not quite ready to show up here!

Shouldn't be a surprise. In days past we were called on many rescues over Memorial Day Weekend due to "surprise" snow storms in the Sierra. Pesty weather

Just when we thought it was safe to put away the winter stuff.
Not unusual though.
Be safe out there.

This was about 4 days ago at Great Sand Dunes.
Went to sleep on a dry warm day. Woke up to this. Was gone by night.

 

[Casa Escarlata Robles Too]

That is very pretty.

[buckland]

I am so done with snow.... Pretty though it is.... Spring just plain makes me haopy.

 

[MarkBC]

Just six days left before the start of (meteorological) summer. And if this forecast holds, looks like it will start full speed.


I know that low 90s would be considered mild for summer in a lot of the West, but it's moderately hot for Bend.

 

[MarkBC]

Interesting cloud formation off the West Coast this morning...almost looks artificial.



Possibly caused by a large alien spacecraft...

 

[Casa Escarlata Robles Too]

It is Mark,definitely space aliens.
Or the secret government.
Frank

 

[ski3pin]

The aliens are preparing for.........summer!

 

[Casa Escarlata Robles Too]

I am glad someone is preparing.
