Marine Weather and Tides
Version 3.4 |
12/16/2019 NOAA is having trouble with requests that include wind gusts. I am posting graphs without wind gusts until it gets fixed. 10/9/2019 Updated the Marine Zones. 9/4/2019 Fixed the weather maps due to NOAA moving them. 7/25/2019 New feature in the Airports section gives a link to 5 minute updates for data reports. |

. Update to Air Quality Issues Section .
SYNOPSIS. Today weak high pressure will build into the region, and temperatures will return to around seasonal averages during the weekend and into early next week. Dry conditions will continue throughout the period.
DISCUSSION. Pretty innocuous pattern in place across the region. Not really ridging or troughing, just a saddle between the two as the main storm track sits well north across the northern CONUS and broad ridging over the central Pacific to the west and over Texas to the east. However, a slight increase in 500 mb heights will bring slight synoptic warming to the area through the beginning of next week. Today there is a slight chance of a thunderstorm or two over the Sierra Nevada around Yosemite National Park. It would not be out of the question if one of the thunderstorms becomes strong at times. Main threats will be brief heavy rainfall and small hail.
The only other weather related note for the CWA is some smoke/haze across parts of eastern Kern County. The smoke conditions will definitely be linked to how much the fire continues to burn, as the fire is further controlled the less smoke that will be introduced and will allow conditions to improve.
Next week temperatures will remain very close to normal levels and no precipitation is expected. So the quiet pattern continues.
AVIATION. Isolated thunderstorms will be possible over the Yosemite sierra high country through 3Z Saturday. Otherwise, VFR conditions will prevail across the central CA interior through at least the next 24 hours.
AIR QUALITY ISSUES. On Saturday August 8 2020 . Unhealthy for sensitive groups in Sequoia National Park and Forest.

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program. |
