Returning to the Real Weather.

Hello there.  Just getting back in front of a computer for the first time in a while.  I apologize for the long hiatus on the Real Weather.  But as we start our swing into autumn, I'll be starting to post regularly.  Right now, our weather is feeling pretty pedestrian for Santa Cruz.  Foggy mornings followed by sunny afternoons.  The fog has been clearing out a bit earlier this week, with a strong NW wind flow over the ocean.  That keeps the surface water cold due to upwelling.  And there is a steep south swell is in the water, somewhat common for this time of year.  Expect no major shifts in the weather just yet.  Upper 60s along the coastline, 70s in town, with some of those protected zones still hitting 80F with the summer time sunshine.  The fantasy range models have us moving into a more fall like pattern in 10 plus days.  High pressure, sun and warming, with storms moving into the PNW.  Time will tell.  I'll be back in here sometime this week with an update.
