powderfreak Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Well the inversion was above you....the fog was probably typical valley fog I guess. You probably just slowly cooler enough given the cool temps yesterday aftn. Yes that's what I just wrote...if he went up another 300-500ft I bet the temp would've gone way up. Like Dendrite said, I see it often too where the coldest temps are just above the fog level but still experiencing calm winds. In this area that elevation is usually 900-1200ft or so. That's also why in the NNE thread, the other day Lyndon State was just above the fog and 31F, and Borderwx also just above the fog was 27F. Both of those spots were 1000-1200ft elevation.

powderfreak Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Yeah there was zero wind..and what was really atypical for me..is as I ran down in elevation around 650 feet it was noticeably warmer..That happens during the day everyday..but not at night/earl;y morning on radiating nights Yeah the inversion was above you, and you have a lower dewpoint at elevation so the valley saw the typical fog but you were able to cool further without "fogging out." Once the valley fogged up, they had trouble dropping lower, while you continued to cool and likely drain drier/colder air down from aloft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 It looks like lower heights are reloading centered near the Aleutians by the end of the Euro ensemble run and we have a +NAO. I do not mind that combo in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dendrite gave a good reason why. Meanwhile, temp inversion with warm ESE winds over this dome of cooler air is screwing us here in ern areas. Definitely did not expect it to be so widespread yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 LOL..it def was the first time that has happened here since i moved in 2005. And probably the last I'm sure there have been other cases. Fall is probably the most frequent time this happens for you since we still have a relatively warm ground, vegetation, and longer nights...so the valley fogs up easily on clear/calm nights and that fog top climbs up the hillside via radiative cooling processes.

Isotherm Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Anyone know what type of tree this is? It's already nearing peak color. I've noticed the past few years it usually drops all its leaves by October 15th at the latest (last year) and I've seen it bare as early as the first week of Oct. With it already at peak, it'll probably be bare by the end of September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted September 22, 2012 Author Share Posted September 22, 2012 Some signs near October 2...give or take, there could be a good storm on the east coast. We are far out in la la land obviously, but the pattern possibly shuffles to allow some energy coming out of Canada to interact with a low developing off the East Coast. Some models offer this in some shape or form. Thought it looked "interesting" anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
