Man, I need to start remembering to bring my camera around with me way more often.  It was beautiful out this morning sitting on the beach as the tide pulled out and the waves came across the reef at the end of 41st.  You know the Hook.  Waves looked kind of fun, but every once and a while a real good one would come through.  More often than not it was not capitalized on, but occasionally some one would rip it up.  Didn't matter to us much on the beach.  That was just the entertainment.  By 9AM the sun was warm and high.  It was bathing suit weather.  For real.  Gonna hit the 80s here in town today.  Maybe even out on the cliff if the breeze does not pick up too much.  Okay, maybe that is hoping too much, but it is a warm one.  Tomorrow should be another killer day even if a bit chllier.  Then things turn more seasonable around here.  Or at least, kind of.

It is not quite desert hot out there today, but is damn warm.  Up in the hills above Palm Desert, CA.

Saturday will still be nice, warming up into the mid 70s.  What is kind of strange is that the energy from the typical summer trough in the SW is going to pinch off  and develop a cyclonic pseudo storm just off our coast.  This thing is not really a rain maker.  It comes in dry, and will start developing a light south west wind over our local waters.  Should help warm up those water temps.  Sunday should be even cooler, and more seasonable.  This weird system will keep the marine layer at bay, but it may develop some legitimate clouds and winds could be moderate out of the south.  Seasonable temps continue through the coming work week, and this system starts to dissipate on Monday and winds shift more south easterly, maybe giving us some warmth from Salinas Valley.  High 60s through next week, which us maybe nudging on 70F by the later half of the work week.  No fog in sight, but that could easily change.  check back often.

Something else that is interesting, is that mid term models have two storms develop in the NPAC around the 9th through 11th.  One around 160E and the other around 160W, both moving toward the West Coast.  If this were to come to pass, Hawaii would get a very good does of swell, but we could also see some mid period sideband energy by the 13th.  These same models suggest showers developing SF north on the 9th, and very wet winter like system hitting the BC down to Marin around the 14th.  I'll be watching all this stuff, as it is real interesting.
