High Pressure fills Pacific like over inflated ballon!

Oh, my.  What a high pressure system building in.  Looks just like summer in the North Pacific.  High pressure dominates the northern latitude waters from Japan to Anchorage, to Seattle to Mexico.  And then some.  Before that happens, just one more small area of low pressure, just off the California coast, needs to be squashed.  And that process may just help pump in some thunderstorms into the interior.  Watch out for it tomorrow evening Valley's.  South facing slopes are the best bet for good activity.

Fishing vessels hang just off the rocks as the tide drops at Drake's Island Beach, Maine.

High pressure builds in strong, but ten days out, if the models were to be believed, low pressure begins to make inroads near Kamchatka and the extreme north Gulf of Alaska.  In the fantasy charts, those things build and become impressive (for August) 16 days out.  Not that this is likely to happen, not that it effects our local weather all that much (hey it is summer), but it could be a sign of changes to come.  As high pressure begins to loose hold in the North Pacific, and low pressures systems begin to crawl across the ocean, soon after, we begin falling into a fall like cycle.  Which, IMO, is an awesome thing here on the Central Coast.  Cool, clear, crisp mornings, followed by warm, calm beautiful evenings.  And the fog is almost non-existant.  So, because of that, when things get boring in summer, I keep an eye out on the ocean.

For us, continued warm and fog.  Not much change from what we have been experiencing.  Right now, there is talk of more sun on Sunday.  So, the weekend could be nice.  Ben pretty nice out the past few days.  Last evening was gorgeous up north.  Waves, seals and sunsets.
