Fog moves into Dana Point on Wednesday, obscuring the coastline and making the moon look fuzzy. Image courtesy of Martin Smith.
We’re not quite done with the fog yet.
The National Weather Service says fog will flow all the way to the eastern foothills this evening, then will fade away and be replaced by a thick marine layer that will last into Thursday morning. The low pressure system that’s been moving into Southern California today will linger into the weekend, keeping coastal daytime high temperatures in the mid-to-upper 60s through Saturday. Inland areas, for the most part, will only be in the 70s. In other words, we’ll have seasonal weather after going through a warm spell in which the temperature rose more than 10 degrees above normal in places.
As noted earlier, there’s no rain in the immediate forecast. But there’s a evolving storm in the Gulf of Alaska that’s giving local forecasters fits. “The models have been flip-flopping,” says Stan Wasowski, a weather service forecaster.
Forecast: Above normal rainfall through January
No Poems today right?
No poems. But there will be a written quiz. Make sure to read chapter 6.
What a fantastic photo. Cheers Martin Smith.
Love that photo.
About time….
Outstanding photograph
(Interesting; I just noted that the clock indicated in the poster’s reply dialog boxes has not caught up to the recent time change - they are one hour off.)
Gary, did Martin tell you how he took that (what aperture and shutter length?).
It’s pretty sweet looking.
Ace: Martin didn’t tell me what aperture he used. I got a very, very brief message from him, and the photo, which is very beautiful.
I wonder if Stan Wasowski at NWS is any relation to Mike…the round, green dude with the one big eye?
The fog is Huntington Beach and the Newport Mesa area can be creepy. I am just waiting to some crazy person to be standing in the middle of the street. there is like 20′ of visibility in some areas!
