Overcast

saltydad · 07-26-2010, 12:26 AM

After days of 100 F weather, today a cold front passed through and dropped the temps to the 80's. Unfortunately, this spawned super thunderstorms that really did a number on our area. Over 260,000 customers have lost power (including yours truly) due to downed power lines and fallen trees. Winds were ferocious; around 75 mph. My backyard is littered with boughs and stems from my tall tulip poplars. I filled two lawn litter garbage cans for collection tomorrow. I just got power back, but since it's been around 12 hours without electricity, I'll probably have to dump half of my refrigerator contents. Hopefully the freezers will still be OK. I drove out looking for dinner for us, and had to drive over 20 miles before there were lights on!

harveyc · 07-26-2010, 12:38 AM

Wow, Howard, hope you didn't have any significant damage.

This is one of the windier nights for us for the summer, probably around 25-30mph. No storms, just a "delta breeze", as they call it. There is a row of very old red gum eucalpytus on the west edge of my property (500' or so west of my house). On nights like tonight, it sounds like we're living right next to the ocean with strong surf action drowning out the sound of highway traffic, etc. We're down to 62F at 10:30 and will get below 60 tonight. Not banana weather!

saltydad · 07-26-2010, 01:02 AM

I looked out during the peak of the storm and watched my basjoo clump whipping in every direction. Surprisingly, when I went out to clean up, very few torn leaves! Its a tough plant!

And we were lucky. A 6 year old boy was killed when a tree toppled on to the minivan he was in. Waves in the Potomac swamped a boat with 7 people aboard; 2 were rescued by another boater, and the 5 remaining made it the 300 yards to shore safely. As soon as the storm started, I heard every ambulance and fire equipment siren going off. Very lucky, thank G-d.

Pretty nice out minus the rain.. Great back porch weather :^)

harveyc · 07-27-2010, 12:11 AM

Greg, you're a lot hotter than me. We only got to 77F today and the strong winds pushed the Bay Area fog to about five miles away from us. At 10pm we're down to 59F and it doesn't look like we'll get back above 80F until Friday. Really weird.

harveyc · 08-24-2010, 01:14 PM

Expected to be 104F today. Got down to the upper 60s last night, which was refreshing.

Greg, I'm surprised that a forecast for Fresno would show lows in the 50s at this time of year. That happens here during some summer nights, but not when we're experiencing hot conditions like this. We get a lot of air flowing in from the SF Bay to help cool us off.

I know did you notice the high for that day in the mid 80's how strange.

harveyc · 08-24-2010, 04:31 PM

I was skeptical that such a forecast was legitimate and thought it was just some error picked up by the online weather reporting services, but it is repeated in a Sacramento Bee newspaper article. Pretty wild change in temps!!!

Today looks like it will live up to its billing as the hottest day of the year. At 1 p.m., it was 97 degrees in Sacramento, and the predicted high of 105 seemed well within sweaty reach.

Elsewhere in the region, the early afternoon temperatures were: 100 degrees in Elk Grove, 99 in Folsom, 97 in Davis and 97 degrees in Cool.

A strong high-pressure system built this morning, and the compressed atmosphere was cooking the Sacramento Valley, where highs were expected to range from 105 to 110 degrees.

The sudden-onset heat wave contrasts dramatically with the overall summer conditions, which have been relatively cool. Sacramento has had few 100-degree days and topped out with 103 degrees on July 16.

Today's predicted high is not a record for the date. That would be the 108 degrees that most recently caused the capital to sizzle in 1931.

High temperatures on Wednesday are expected to be about the same as today or a couple of degrees cooler, National Weather Service forecasters predict.

The hot spell will begin to wane Thursday, and highs will drop precipitously day by day until Sacramento is kissed by a high in the high 70s Saturday, NWS meteorologists say.

The updated Sacramento forecast:

This afternoon: Sunny and hot, with a high near 105. Northwest wind about 7 mph.

Tonight: Clear, with a low around 66. Northwest wind to 6 mph becoming calm.

Wednesday: Sunny and hot, high near 105. Calm wind becoming west/southwest to 6 mph.

Wednesday night: Clear, low about 61. South/southwest wind 8-11 mph.

Thursday: Sunny, high near 94. South wind to 9 mph.

Thursday night: Mostly clear, low about 56.

Friday: Sunny, high near 86.

Friday night: Clear, low about 53.

Saturday: Sunny, high near 77.

Saturday night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 52.

Sunday: Mostly sunny, high near 74.

Rainy and cool. Looking forward to a bump up in temps and sun for the rest of the week.
