OHweather Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I'm sure they'll loose the westerly winds and drop soon...at least that's what I keep telling myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallow Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I really don't understand the low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil882 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Neither do I... It should have dropped more given the clear skies and calm winds. I guess I keep forgetting Long Beach is in a pretty urban area and local effects (UHI) are probably more at play on calm nights. Still that didn't stop yesterday so I really am just guessing here.

OHweather Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 PHX did the same thing a couple of times IIRC (stopped dropping despite clear/calm conditions)...although PHX did it more consistently while LGB has so far radiated fairly consistently.

Jurg Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 Yeah. Last night's low? Uhhhh.....wut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHweather Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 A personal weather station right next to airport property that I've been watching has clocked winds as high as 15MPH gusting to 17MPH...although it's possible they're a little higher than the airport (per Wunderground they're 20 feet higher than the ASOS, but not sure if that's accurate). The station has also been sitting at 72-73 for the last couple of hours and LGB has been sitting at 71, so I'm guessing they probably snagged 72. We will see.

OHweather Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Went 78/46/12/0 Thought there was some potential to get as warm as 80, but I'm sitting on a trophy now so didn't feel like risking it. I really don't know on the low after this morning, but MOS did a good job of showing upper 40's for this morning and was cooler for tonight...in addition, dews are much lower and winds will probably go calm sooner...so we should get a little cooler than last night.

I'm in the opposite position--I am a bit far behind trophy range and needed to take a chance. Hence the 80F (which I think is entirely possible tomorrow... I like 78-80 as a range).

wi_fl_wx Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 78/49/11/0 Finally clawed back to consensus today but I have no idea how to forecast for KLGB. Didn't see any reason why the low would be colder than today with similar conditions, bumped up a degree for light wind kicking in before sunrise. But like I said, I have no idea what I'm doing.

I think dew points are a big factor, at least it's why I went lower tomorrow. The past two days, the low has been about 4F above the dew point. I expect the dp to be around 40-42 tomorrow morning.

I expect the dp to be around 40-42 tomorrow morning. But the dewpoint goes up every evening when the onshore flow kicks in. I guess we'll see where things settle down in the next few hours, but I could see the Td ending up in the mid-upper 40's by midnight pacific time. Its already up to 45F now after being in the 20's a couple of hours ago. I took a huge risk on the low, especially considering my current rank. Tomorrow's forecast will be a trophy make or break for me. 79/50/11/0.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Right about the dew point, wrong about the low. Ugh, I suck at this city's lows. It still could have gotten down to 47F maybe even 46F, but I really hope not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mallow Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Based on where the temperature is now, I'd guess 77-78 will probably be the high today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mallow Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 78F now...80 still very much in reach. lol yep, didn't expect a 4F jump. Winds still out of the NNE, too, so 80F actually seems like one of the favored numbers to me now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallow Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Hmm, back down to 77F... but winds are light and variable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Hmm, back down to 77F... but winds are light and variable. I think the sea breeze and NE flow are battling it out. One takes over then dies down and then the other fires up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallow Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I think the sea breeze and NE flow are battling it out. One takes over then dies down and then the other fires up. Could be. Dew point is the lowest it's been all day, though, so maybe it's just the city bouncing around as it has done on sunny days in the past. EDIT: Then again, yesterday the dew point didn't respond to the sea breeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
