The amount of rain shouldn't be all that generous in SoCal since the storms are northern latitude systems. The week should be unsettled with clouds/some rain/cool temps.

BS Man about Palms Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 I feel a little better now. I noticed my "temp" I was posting was the in between average of my front yard temp and my back yard temp. But I first observed that a least a month ago, maybe two. So, for the last few nights/morns I've been looking at all of them. My "average thermometer" had two probs. One, its only 18" off the ground, Two, I hadn't really bothered to notice it stops getting any sun by 12 and is full shade after that. It is currently reading the coldest of the three! So, I think it would be most accurate to add 1 degree to my past temps. From now on, I'll post my front yard temps. Both of the others get varying degrees of surrounding shade thruout the day. That leaves this morning at 40F.... oops, non-post again.

By late in the week a cold system could swing into SoCal though the rainfall looks meager. Once the front passes over cold air will follow.

MattyB Posted December 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 53F last night w/ .10 " of rain. Terry, I think that your low probably occured while it was still clear out earlier last night, and then the clouds rolled in and the rain started and it warmed up. That's normal. The storm is coming in over an ocean that's around 55-60 F, so the water is warmer than the air.

I just barely grazed 32F that one day, most days being in the 35-38F range. Everything looks fine, and I think it's because it's usually in 50s by 9am. Zone 9b/10a, Sunset Zone 22 7 miles inland.
