.Looking down into the Sea this morning I can see that there was a hugh storm that built over Hermosillo early last evening. It grew and grew and by around midnight it was about the size of the state of Nevada. Without the southern flow in central Sonora it wandered out into the Sea just north of Guaymas in a northwesterly direction filling the Sea. At 5am this morning most of the storm had dissipated. There was still a squall line still producing thunderbumpers from around San Franciscito bay to Puerto Panesco.
None of the reporting stations or airports reported any rain accumulations last night.
The rest of the Sea south to around Puerto Escondido have seen some remnant clouds from this storm during the night and early morning hours. Here in the cove it we had some remnant clouds at sunrise that painted the flat bay shades of pink. orange and fuchsia.
The cape area is relatively clear this morning.
Looking now south to the Mexican Riviera where numerous large storms developed over central Mexico early this morning and moved toward the west coast. Puerto Vallarta south to Acapulco is overcast this morning and I’d have to guess that many locations in that stretch had at least some showers this morning.
The Tehuantepec has had and still is seeing passing thumpers move over the Gulf during the night.
Looking not at the ITCZ/Monsoon trough where 4 days ago the monsoon tough was up around 16N, this morning it is back to where we normally see it at this time of year around 8N.
I am unable to locate the tropical wave that was headed toward Costa Rica yesterday. Perhaps today it will pop up here in the Eastern Pacific basin. We’ll see?
If it does find a nice lonely low to stimulate in the region it’s very possible that we could see some tropical development down there. Again, we’ll see?
Before leaving the region I wanted to mention that without the southern flow in Sonora for the next couple of days those storms that develop over Sonora will drift west and into the Sea. You can’t forecast these storms but once we see them start to develop we can issue advisories. Unfortunately all this happens about the time we go to bed. So keep a weather-eye out during the night for building winds and respond appropriately.
OK, that’s it for our hood, so looking now north to the west coast of America where is weak system has dipped down from the Gulf of Alaska and is keeping the streets of Portend and Seattle wet today.
Northern California south will see seasonally warm temperatures for the weekend.
Southern California will be warm, dry and breezy for the weekend.
Looking now over to the southwest where they can expect to have isolated showers and thunderbumpers through the weekend mainly in the higher elevations and along the Fence.
The high today in Tucson will be around 107. Next Tuesday it is forecast to be around 88. That’s a 20 degree drop. The reason is the monsoon will return with a vengeance.
Monday and Tuesday will be a warm-up for Wednesday and Thursday. They are expecting a very heavy thunderbumper day Wednesday with localized flooding a major concern.
Medium range models bring another wet impulse next Friday or Saturday so it looks like a very busy week in the southwest.
In a way that’s good news for those of us on this side of the Fence. Those storms moving north through Sonora will be on a fast track north and won’t linger and wander out into the Sea….hopefully.
Ok that’s what’s happening to the north of us. Back here in Baja today. The northern and central will see moderate southerlies today and tomorrow. Monday the winds will pick up to the 20+ knot ranges and the northern crossing will see buffalos romping around out there.
The southern Sea will continue to see moderate southerlies over the 3-day forecast period.
Taking a look out for next week especially the 4th of July. Right now it looks like Monday will be the last day of those strong winds. Tues through the end of next week (right now) look like moderate southerlies.
Temperatures today won’t be much different from the past several days and be in the mid to high 90s.

.Looking down into the Sea this morning, actually looking first over to Sonora where there has been a steady line of thunderbumper moving up through Sonora with just a few jumping the Fence around the Tucson area.
Looking now at the Sea where the 24 hour loop is showing that there has been some debris clouds drifting out into the Sea from these Sonoran storms throughout the early morning hours
Looking now at the southern end of the Sea where it does not look like there are any clouds in the area.
Looking over to the Mexican Riviera where around Puerto Vallarta they have had a lot of thunderbumpers moving out of the mountain and moving toward the coast during the night. This morning there was a thumper that built over Puerto Vallarta and quickly moved off shore where it is now.
The rest of the coast south does not have any thunderbumper activity however it is mostly overcast with remnant clouds from thunderbumpers over central Mexico.
Looking now at the Tehuantepec where there has been several large thumpers move from Guatemala across the Gulf into southern Mexico. The winds in the Gulf are forecast to be in the ballpark 25 knot ranges for at least the next 3 days.
The ITCZ/Monsoon trough is relatively quiet this morning with the exception of the eastern portion around Costa Rica. This is also about where that tropical wave is forecast to move into the Eastern Pacific basin probably tomorrow. Several of the models are showing a low developing in that region so it looks like conditions are ripe for some cyclonic development in the next week. We’ll see?
Otherwise there is northern cooking on our Tropical Kitchen this morning.
That’s about it for our hood so looking now north to the west coast of America where a rather weak low have moved out of the Gulf of Alaska and is moving into the Great Northwest bringing light showers to both Portland and Seattle this morning.
The rest of the west coast will be seeing seasonally warm temperatures today.
In southern California the highs today will be slightly above the seasonal norms for today. Today a low will approach the central coast then move south tomorrow bringing temperatures to slightly below normal and a deepening of the marine layer along the coast.
Looking now over to the southwest where it will remain hot in the 107-109 ranges in the Tucson area. High pressure will inhibit the thunderbumpers moving up Sonora from moving into the region. There is a slight chance of some thunderbumper activity in the higher elevations today but in general the state will be hot and dry.
Next week the high will weaken and the southwest can expect to see an “UP” week. Probably a significantly up week compared to tropical thunderbumper seasonal rainfall. They could see some gully-washers. We’ll see?
That’s what is going on to the north of us. Back on this side of the Fence the northern Sea will have moderate southerlies for the 3-day forecast period.
The central Sea moderate southerlies today and tomorrow and then Sunday the southerlies should be strong in the 20+ knot ranges
The southern Sea will continue to have light to moderate SW winds for the 3-day forecast period.
Temperatures about the same as yesterday and be in the mid to high 90s.

.Looking down into the Sea this morning I can see that there was quite a large thunderbumper build over central Sonora last night and early this morning. It extendrd out in the Sea and headed toward Puerto Escondido. The storm does not look like it made it all the way across but the Loreto/Puerto Escondido area is covered with remnant clouds at 6am however it looks like they will pass to the west by mid morning. I’d imagine they saw some lightning in that area this morning.
The rest of the Sea has a few fluffys floating around hear and there and looking out my window I can see a band of whispys off to the east but in general it is clear.
Looking south I can see a nice thumper started just north of Puerto Vallarta and has been working its way north toward Mazatlan for several hours. It looks like it will pass to the east of Mazatlan before it breaks up.
There is another squall just off the coast from Cabo Corrienties that is diminishing rapidly, however the remnant clouds will be there until most likely late morning.
Looking further south I can see that there is a general flow along the coast to the north and several squalls just off the coast are moving north with the flow and not moving inland.
The Tehuantepec has some remnant clouds over it this morning from thunderbumpers over Guatemala this morning.
Yesterday morning there was no northern flow in the basin. This morning there is and convection building along the ITCZ/Monsoon trough is moving north up into the basin and there is considerable cloudiness in the basin this morning.
There is nothing cooking in our Tropical Kitchen this morning however looking out in the Caribbean there is near Gale force winds around Cuba where a tropical wave is this morning. It will be looking for a lonely low to stipulate once it enters the Eastern Pacific basin. There is a weak low developing near Costa Rica that it could find attractive. We’ll see?
That’s it for our hood so looking now north to the west coast of America where there is a series of weak systems that will be moving through the Great Northwest the rest of this week. Portland and Seattle will most likely see some light showers into the weekend.
To the south high pressure will continue to dominate Southern Oregon and California into Friday. A low trough will droop over the central coast to deepen the marine layer over the weekend. The low will dip south from central California south over the weekend and bring a cooling trend starting Saturday. It looks like next weeks temperatures in southern California will be slightly below normal with overnight coastal low clouds and fog.
Looking now over to the southwest where as high pressure strengthens the southwest will continue to dry out. There will be a lingering chance of some afternoon and evening thunderbumpers mainly over the high elevations. It will continue to hot in the 106-109 ranges the rest of the week in the Tucson area. Early next week the high pressure will weaken enough to open the door again for monsoon moisture to return to the state.
That’s what is going on to the north of us. Back on this side of the Fence the northern Sea south to around San Franciscito bay will see brisk winds to around 20 today diminishing to the moderate ranges for Friday and Saturday.
The central Sea in the center of the northern crossing today will also see brisk winds to around 20 diminishing Friday and Saturday.
With the exception of around Punta Chivato which will also see brisk winds today the rest of the central Sea will see moderate southerlies today.
The southern Sea will continue to see light to moderate SW winds for the 3-day forecast period.
Temperatures today about the same as yesterday and be in the mid to high 90s.

.Looking down into the Sea this morning this image is showing no chubbascos or rain in the Sea for the past 24 hours. Yuma radar is not showing any rain in the northern Sea last night.
However, using an old weatherman trick, I took a peak outside and there was a mix of whispys and fluffys out over the bay.
Looking over to Sonora I can see that there was moderate thunderbumper activity working its way north into Arizona. It looks like only a few small cells moved across the border into the Tucson area. These quickly moved to the NE and I doubt they had any rain at all, perhaps in the higher elevations.
Looking now south I can see that the entire west coast of Mexico is clear of any cloudiness or for that matter any thunderbumper back in the mountains. Even the Tehuantepec is currently clear this morning. They did have a small thumper come though early this morning but the Gulf is clear this morning.
Looking out into the Eastern Pacific basin I can see just some high whispys between here and Hawaii this morning.
The ITCZ/Monsoon trough has dropped back down to around 110N where it normally is this time of year and along the zone there are numerous thunderbumper working and they are all staying within the zone and not moving north.
Looking out into the Atlantic for some signs of a Tropical wave headed our way and there is nothing between here and Africa where these waves originate. Sister Debby, the tropical storm that has deluged Georgia and Florida for several days has finally moved over the Florida panhandle as a tropical depression.
So there is absolutely nothing cooking in our Tropical Kitchen this morning and that looks like that is it for our hood so looking now north to the west coast of America where the entire west coast is pretty quiet this morning.
The high pressure filling in the western conus will steadily warm things up in the west for the next week. Along the coast they will not be seeing the heavy fog and June Gloom that prevailed last week. Most of the grey stuff should clear by mid morning.
This image is showing just a few patches of fog along the coast from around Pt. San Quinten north.
Southern California mountains and deserts will see some gusterly conditions in the afternoon and evening hours and slowly rising daytime highs inland.
Looking now over to the southwest where moisture will start to decrease today and continue that trend during the remainder of the week into the weekend as high pressure expands over the area. They could see some isolated thunderbumpers today. The weekend looks like a better opportunity for monsoon moisture to return to the region.
Well, that’s what is going on to the north of us. Back on this side of the Fence the entire Sea of Cortez will be see mostly moderate SE or SW winds for the 3-day forecast period. The GFS model is showing the northern crossing which is normally fairly calm during the night to see ballpark 18 knot winds during the night tonight and then calm after that. Don’t chisel that in stone because the Sea does not always listen to my forecasts.
Temperatures today will be about the same as yesterday and be in the mid 90s for most locations.
That’s my weather for this morning. Just a reminder that a week from today we will be celebrating American Independence day here in El Burro Cove with a picnic during the day and fireworks after dark.

.Looking down into the Sea this morning I can see that the northern and Central Sea has been pretty much free of any cloudiness for the past 24 hours. Yesterday morning a thunderbumper moved from around Mazatlan into the Sea pretty much filling the southern crossing from Mazatlan to La Paz. None of the reporting stations reported any rain however when these storms come this close to the cape they can have some thunderbumper action back in the mountains around the cape. I did not see any in this loop though.
Looking over to Sonora I can see that last evenings thunderbumpers working their way north into SE Arizona and SW New Mexico have pretty much dissipated this morning. The water vapor imagery is showing moisture over there flowing south rather than north this morning.
No storms entered the Sea last night.
Taking a quick look over along the west coast of the Baja peninsula it looks like the only good news over there is this image is showing just a few patches of fog along the coast from Turtle Bay north to around LA. I was under the impression that June was suppose to be a favorable month for a bash but that does not appear to be happening. The flotilla of around 10 boats in Turtle Bay are still waiting for a window to pass Pt. San Quinten. Tomorrow could be that window.
Looking now south to the Mexican Riviera where the coast is clear south to around Manzanillo where this is a big honker right over the top of it. Further south I can see that they have a few light thunderstorms during the night and early morning hours, most were small and dissipated quickly.
With the exception of the ITCZ/Monsoon trough which is moderately active this morning the Eastern Pacific basin just has some high whispys over it this morning.
Glancing over to the Gulf of Mexico Debby is doing Florida and Georgia this morning dumping lots of rain in both states. She is forecast to move across Florida and start working her way up the Atlantic seaboard later today.
Back here in the Eastern Pacific basin there is nothing cooking in our Tropical Kitchen so looking now north to the west coast of America where Washington State will be getting wet again today. Oregon and California under building high pressure will begin a warming trend with lots of sunshine that will last until the weekend when another low is forecast to move in from the Pacific...
Over in the southwest the forecast says there is sufficient moisture for isolated to scattered afternoon and evening thunderbumper today but I’m seeing most of the moisture flowing south into Sonora this morning with not much left for this afternoon. Well, we will see?
With high pressure building so are the temperatures. Tucson will see the afternoon high reach 108 again by this weekend. The Yuma area will also be see temperatures in the 112 ranges later in the week.
That’s what is going on to the north of us. Back on this side of the Fence moderate southerlies are on tap for the Sea for 3-day forecast period with the exception from Santa Rosalia to Concepción Bay today which is forecast to see moderate NE winds.
The Sonoran coast will see mostly moderate WSW over the next 3 days.
The southern Sea will continue to see moderate SW winds for the next 3 days.
Temperatures today should be in the low to mid 90s.

.Looking down into the Sea this morning first with the water vapor imagery loop because it shows the line of thunderbumpers moving north through Sonora better than the IR images.
I can see that in the early afternoon thunderbumpers over Sonora starting building, drawing moisture from both the Gulf of Mexico and the Eastern Pacific basin. I’m going to call it the Thunderbumper Express because there was a solid line of thumpers moving through the mountains toward Arizona until the early morning hours when they started dissipating.
There is still one working between Los Mochas and Mazatlan this morning. It’s on the wane now however there remnant clouds extend all the way to La Paz and the East Cape this morning. It’s possible they could see some showers from this storm.
Otherwise the southern flow kept these storms heading north and none ventured out into the Sea of Cortez
Looking further south the entire west coast of Mexico is cloudy this morning mostly from thunderbumper taking place on the mainland and the remnant clouds drifting toward the coast and there is some sporadic thunderbumper activity along the coast as well this morning.
Taking a look at the Eastern Pacific basin with the big picture I can see that most of the weather is along the west coast of Mexico and Central America. The basin in general is petty much clear out to Hawaii this morning with the exception of the ITCZ/Monsoon trough which has moderate activity along the zone this morning.
Looking over to the Gulf of Mexico I can see that Debby is doing Florida this morning. She is still a tropical storm. Besides lots of rain she has spawned at least 9 tornados in Florida yesterday.
Over here in the Eastern Pacific basin there is nothing cooking in our Tropical Kitchen this morning so looking now north to the west coast of America where the only item of interest is that low that has been sitting off the Oregon coast for 4 days now. It is currently around 300 miles west of Coos Bay and is finally forecast to start moving east.
As it moves through Oregon, Nevada and into the the northern Rockies high pressure will fill in its wake and high pressure should blanket the western conus by later in the week.
As high pressure builds in the Great Basin by Wednesday it will have the effect of slowing down the Thunderbumper Express so all those thumpers in Sonora will sort of hang around and some will drift west into the Sea and become Chubbascos.
Taking a quick looks back north to the west coast where they are having a little cooler June that normal but with the arrival of high pressure the west will warm up a bit later in the week. Sacramento is still seeing temperatures in the high 80s,
Looking over to the southwest where temperatures today will be around 103 topping out later in the week around 107. There is sufficient moisture for thunderbumpers this afternoon and evening, perhaps even tomorrow. There will be less storm activity the second half of the week as high pressure builds over the region.
That’s what is going on to the north of us. Back on this side of the Fence today the northern Sea will have mostly moderate southerlies and with a western component along the Sonoran coast. Tomorrow most of the northern Sea will see moderate NE winds before returning to the moderate southerlies on Wednesday.
The central Sea today in general will have moderate winds for the 3-day forecast period. Today on the Baja side East of NE, the Sonoran coast West or WSW. Tomorrow about the same thing with Wednesday retuning to a southern flow for the central Sea.
The southern Sea will continue to see moderate SW wind over the 3-day forecast period.
As far as temperatures here in the cove our daytime highs are averaging only one degree cooler than a normal June which is 99 degrees.
A blogger in La Paz has been complaining about the unseasonably cool temperatures in that area. It has been in the high 80s for the past 7 days. I’d expect him to also mention how hot it gets next month.
Today in general the highs will be in the mid to high 80s in most locations. Central Baja, Santa Rosalia, Mulege, Concepción Bay and Puerto Escondido will see temperatures in the mid to hight 90s today.

.Looking down into the Sea this morning I can see that a long line of thunderbumpers have been moving north through the mountains in Sonora all night and continue this morning.
They reach the border with a few jumping over the Fence and causing some rain just across the border.
None of these, and there were many, ventured out into the Sea however the Sea this morning is full of many dark bottomed remnant clouds that could be sprinkle producers. That happened here in the cove yesterday morning with several locations reporting brief sprinkles in the early morning hours.
Looking south where the cape area looks to be pretty much cloud free this morning.
Over on the mainland just south of Mazatlan, mostly around Puerto Vallarta and Cabo Corrienties there has been considerable thunderbumpers building back in the mountains and moving toward the coast during the night. At around 5:30 one honker has moved off shore and is building and heading up into the center of the Sea. I took a look at it just a few minutes ago and it is getting larger and moving into the Sea pretty much right between Mazatlan and the cape.
Further south along the coast there is considerable cloudiness along the coast, remnant clouds from thunderbumpers developing well on shore and pretty much dissipating by the time they reach the coast.
The entire Eastern Pacific basin is very active this morning with a lot of thunderbumper activity.
There are no tropical waves that I can see in the Gulf of Mexico or the Caribbean. In the Gulf it looks like tropical storm Debby is going to do New Orleans early next week. In the meantime back in the Pacific there is nothing cooking in our Tropical Kitchen for at least the next 48 hours
That’s what is going on in our hood so looking now north to the west coast of America where that very slow moving, it’s actually stationary right now, front is still off the Oregon Coast.
It will continue to bring rain to the Great Northwest and extreme Northern California today and tomorrow.
The rest of the west coast are seeing temperatures a few degrees below the seasonal averages. When this low finally moves ashore early next week high pressure will fill in from the west and temperatures will creep back and a warming trend will begin.
Southern California will continue to be a bit gusterly with temperatures in the low to mid 70s.
Looking now over to the southwest where it today will be the coolest day of the week in Tucson with a high today of around 101. By mid week they should be see afternoon temperatures around 108 there as high pressure rebuilds over the Great Basin.
Thunderbumpers are in the forecast for the region and it looks like most will be along the international border and in the higher elevations this afternoon and evening.
That is what is going on to the north of us. Back on this side of the Fence the Sonoran coast in the far northern Sea will see strong southerlies today. The rest of the northern Sea brisk to around 18 knots southerlies today and then diminishing to the very moderate ranges Monday and Tuesday.
The central Sea from about San Franciscito bay south to Puerto Escondido brisk to 20 knot south-easterlies today diminishing to the moderate ranges for Monday and Tuesday.
The southern Sea will continue to see light SE or SW winds for the 3-day forecast period.
Temperatures today will be in the mid 80s to the mid 90s for most locations. Some locations like here in the cove will be around 100 today.

.Looking down into the Sea this morning I can see that there was considerable thunderbumper activity the mountains in Senora from the early evening hours to early this morning. There was a northern flow and in general all the storms moved to the north paralleling the coast with just the extreme edges of these storms passing over the Sonoran coast into the Sea. This image is showing no chubbascos in the Sea last night.
At 7am there were still a lot of remnant clouds drifting around the central and southern Sea. They should dissipate by early morning.
Looking south I can see the southern crossing has some remnant clouds that extend about half way across to Baja. These are coming from thunderbumper activity from around Los Mochas south to around Puerto Vallarta. Most of these storms stayed on land and are on the wane this morning.
Looking further south I can see a lot of thunderbumpers working in south central Mexico but the coast is pretty much clear south of Cabo Corrienties this morning.
The monsoon trough is still disjointed from where it crosses the Panama isthmus to around Manzanillo where it picks up again and heads SW back to meet up with the rest of the zone around 130W.
The zone is not particularity active this morning however the water vapor imagery is showing considerable moisture in the entire Eastern Pacific basin this morning.
That’s what’s going on our hood so looking now north to the west coast of America where as I mentioned the slow moving 1000 low moving through northern California into Nevada this morning will be the major player in the weather in the west over the weekend.
Besides bringing light rain to Oregon and Washington and extreme northern California it will be keeping the temperatures a bit lower than normal over the weekend all along the entire west coast.
Southern California will see temperatures in the low 70s all weekend.
Looking now over to the southwest where today’s high of 105 will dip to around 102 tomorrow and then rebound on Monday and be around 108 by midweek.
They are finally getting some moisture flow from the south so showers and thunderbumpers are likely this afternoon and evening. The forecast is for the moisture to continue to flow rather sporadically into the south west for the next couple of days so there is a good chance that the showers and thunderbumper will continue into early next week.
That’s what is going on to the north of us. Back on this side of the Fence it looks like this weekend will see strong southerlies diminishing back to the moderate ranges on Monday.
Nighttime northern passages would not be advised due to all the moisture moving up into Sonora creating those thunderbumpers that can move out into the Sea as Chubbascos.
Looking at the GFS models it looks right now that early next week conditions should be better for an evening passage. AND DON’T CHISLE THAT IN STONE. That’s three days away.
The southern Sea will continue to see light to moderate SW winds over the weekend.
Temperatures should be in the mid 90s for most locations today.
Of note: WeatherUnderground has been late in posting the historical data for the past several days and I’ve decided to post the Sail Doc files without yesterdays data and with just the winds forecast so you can get the data a little sooner.

.Looking down into the Sea this morning I can see that the Sea of Cortez has been free of any cloudiness for the past 24 hours.
Looking south I can see that back in the mountains between Los Mochas and Mazatlan there has been quite a lot of thunderbumper activity that is, and has been drifting toward the coast and there is quite a bit of cloudiness in the Sea between Los Mochas and La Paz.
Mazatlan at 5am had a big honk’n thunderbumper right over the top of it. I’ve already give you the rain totals along the Riviera.
Further south there is that rather stationary low that has been designated invest 95. It is currently around 300 miles southwest of the cape and is producing a lot of showers and thunderbumper that are moving toward the coast.
This low is not forecast to develop into anything tropical as it has entered cooler waters. It will however continue to give cause to lots of rain along the Mexican Riviera region today.
From around Puerto Vallarta south there has been numerous thunderbumpers during the night and early morning hours. These storms are very tall and are producing at lot of rain along the coast.
Further south the Tehuantepec continues to have daily and nightly thunderbumper in the Gulf and extending almost all the way east across the isthmus.
The ITCZ/Monsoon trough is disconnected again this morning from around Panama to where it connects again in the vicinity of Cabo Corrienties where it then heads SW back to around 10N and then continues around the globe.
Looking east out into the Caribbean and Atlantic I can’t see any tropical waves headed our way so it looks like there will be nothing cooking in our Tropical Kitchen for at least the next 48 hours.
Looking now north to the west coast of America where the only real item of interest is a low off the Oregon/Washington coast that will move ashore on Friday bringing light rain to as far south as the upper Sacramento valley. This is a slow mover and will end up in the Great Basin probably on Sunday and exit early next week.
In the meantime today will just see some cloudiness in Oregon and Washington and the rest of the west coast will see mostly sunshine in the afternoons along with morning fog.
The fog bank extends from just south of Turtle Bay all the way north to the Columbia River.
Southern California will see temperatures in the low to mid 70s into the weekend. Foggy along the coast during the nigh and then clearing by mid morning.
Looking now over to the southwest where temperatures in Tucson will continue to be in the 107 ranges until this weekend when it will cool down a bit Friday afternoon could see some thunderbumper activity east of Bisbee. There is a better chance on Saturday a bit south of Tucson then Sunday and Monday it looks right now like a very good chance of some monsoon activity in southwest Arizona.
That’s what is going on to the north of us. Back on this side of the Fence the northern Sea will see moderate southerlies today, a bit less tomorrow and a bit more on Saturday.
The central Sea will see moderate southerlies today, very moderate tomorrow and Saturday the southerlies will be in the 20 knot ranges in the afternoon.
The southern Sea will continue to see moderate SW winds for the 3-day forecast period.
Temperatures across the board yesterday were down a few degrees and it looks like they should be about the same today with afternoon highs in the high 80s to the mid 90s.

.Looking down into the Sea this morning I can see that there have been no clouds in the Sea for the past 24 hours.
Looking south to the west coast of Mexico and the Mexican Riviera I can see that much like yesterday there has been a lot of thunderbumper activity back in the mountains to east of Puerto Vallarta and Cabo Corrienties. During the night and the early morning hours these storms have moved toward the coast and it looks like from just south of Mazatlan to just south of Cabo Corrienties the rain continues this morning.
Further south and about 225 miles west-southwest of Manzanillo is invest 95. The National Hurricane Center yesterday gave it an 80% chance of tropical development in the next 24 hours. Apparently it did not read the report because instead of becoming more organized the opposite has happened. In this image the center of low is no longer easily defined however the region is still showing a lot of thunderbumper activity with bands of rain producing clouds moving toward the coast mostly from Manzanillo to around Zihuatanejo this morning. This morning the National Hurricane Center is only giving the low a 40% chance of tropical development.
So we’ll be putting this item on the back burner of our Tropical Kitchen for today.
Looking at the big picture it looks like from around Cabo Corrienties south the Eastern Pacific basin is pretty much solid cloud cover with many thunderbumpers working in the region.
That’s what is going on in our hood so looking now north to the west coast of America where today will be a typical summer day for the entire west coast. Morning fog along the coast from around Turtle Bay north to the San Francisco bay area and sunshine inland with seasonal temperatures.
Southern California will see temperatures in the mid 70s today.
Tomorrow a low that is about 1000 miles off the coast of Oregon and Washington will slowly move ashore bringing a little rain to the Great Northwest on Friday and gusterly winds to the rest of the west coast into the weekend when high pressure rebuilds over the west.
Looking now over to the southwest where 107-109 temperatures will remain until the weekend when temperatures will cool somewhat. It appears that there is a very good chance that the southwest will see some monsoon activity this Saturday afternoon and evening to the east and south of Tucson.
That’s what is going on to the north of us. Back on this side of the Fence the northern Sea will see brisk (to around18 knots) over the 3-day forecast period.
The central Sea to Puerto Escondido, about the same thing today with afternoon southerlies to 20 knots and then back to the moderate southerlies for Thursday and Friday.
The southern Sea will continue to see light to moderate SW winds over the 3-day forecast period.
Temperatures again today in the mid to high 90s.

.Looking down into the Sea this morning I can see that the Sea has again been cloud free for the past 24 hours.
Looking out to the west coast of Baja it looks like a fairly heavy bank of fog hugs the coast from around Pt. San Quinten north to central California this morning.
Looking now south to the Mexican Riviera where I can see that there has been numerous thunderbumpers working the mountain. All of these have been working their way toward the coast.
At 5:30 this morning there was heavy thunderbumper activity along the coast from a bit north of Puerto Vallarta to San Salvador.
About 250 miles west-southwest of Manzanillo is invest 95 that has been getting better organized in the past 24 hours. In this image I can start to see some spiral circulation to the system. Conditions are ripe for development of this system to become our next tropical storm. The National Hurricane Center is giving it an 80% chance of becoming a tropical depression in the next 48 hours. It looks to me like that will happen later today. Should this happen the next name on the list is Daniel. The forecast is for this system to move toward shore thus bringing more rain to the west coast of Mexico.
Looking at the ITCZ/Monsoon trough: On this image it shows the monsoon trough becoming disconnected around Panama and picking up again around 16N along the coast and like yesterday it then heads south again to meet up with the rest of the zone around 140W.
This entire portion of the Eastern Pacific basin is very active with numerous thunderbumpers working,
That’s what is going on in our hood so looking now north to the west coast of America where the western conus will be seeing mostly sunshine today inland and early morning fog along the coast.
Northern California will see temperatures not quite as hot as yesterday and will continue to be in these ranges all week. This weekend will see temperatures drop as much as 10 degrees before heating back up next week.
Southern California will see temperatures in the mid 70s.all week can continue in those ranges next week as well.
Looking now over to the southwest where temperatures will be in the 107-108 ranges all week before cooling off this weekend.
Finally it really looks like the monsoon season could become active next weekend. The Arizona weather folks have been hinting at it for over a week and it finally looks like it will happen.
Well that is what is going on to the north of us. Back on this side of the Fence the far northern Sea will see moderate SE winds for the 3-day forecast period.
The LA Bay and Gonzaga bay will see brisk NE today and tomorrow and brisk SE winds on Thursday.
San Franciscito bay area will see moderate SE winds for the 3-day forecast period.
The Northern crossing area from Santa Rosalia to Concepción Bay and Puerto Escondido will see moderate NE today and brisk ESE on Thursday.
The southern Sea will continue to see light to moderate SW winds over the 3-day forecast period.
Temperatures today will continue to be in the high 90s with a few locations into triple digits

.Looking down into the Sea this morning I can see that the Sea has had another 24 hours of clear skies.
That being said I used the old weatherman standby and looked out
my window. It was hazy and there were lazy puffy fluffys all over the place.
So much for the gazillion dollar satellite image.
Looking over to the west coast of the Baja Peninsula and again using the NOOA satellite it looks like a fairly heavy fog bank hugs the coast from a bit south of Turtle Bay, in the Laguna area, all the way north to the Canadian border this morning.’
Interesting, I look at a couple of web cams in La Paz, Cabo, and the west cape every morning and I very seldom see fog. They say I’m looking at real-time images. One of La Paz weather blogs reports fog most mornings there. I need some local information on summer fog from La Paz south to the cape. Any volunteers jump in after the summary.
Looking south to the cape area it looks like there has been some remnant clouds from thunderbumpers move across the Sea from the Los Mochas area into the southern crossing during the night. They appear to be dissipating at 5am.
Looking now further south: the ITCZ/Monsoon trough which normally snakes along between 8-10 N takes a jog due north around panama and hugs the coast all the way north to around 20N (that’s around Cabo Corrienties) before turning west again and dips back down to 10N way out around 140W. Very unusual!
From around Cabo Corrienties SW to 140W where the monsoon trough again continues along 10N it is solid thunderbumpers.
Within this area is a broad area of low pressure that is about 270 miles west-southwest of Manzanillo. This system is moving slowly eastward toward the coast and will contribute to the heavy rains that are still around from sister Carlotta along the coast and in southwestern and south-central Mexico. Again mudslides and flash flooding are a major concern for the region.
According to the National Hurricane Center there is about a 30% chance that this system will develop into our next tropical storm in the next 48 hours.
Looking at the big picture it looks like some of the clouds from this system could drift NE and pass over the cape regions today. We’ll see?
So it looks like we will be keeping this system on the back burner of our Tropical Kitchen for a while.
That’s what’s going on in our hood so looking now north to the west coast of America where at the top of this image the Great Northwest will continue to see weak systems move though the region all week bringing mostly light rain.
From southern Washington, Oregon and all of California next week looks like a bit of fog along the coast and abundant sunshine inland.
The weather pattern for the coast this week is for weak lows to move in from the Pacific and dent the high causing a brief cooling then heat up again as the high rebounds. So one day a little cooler than the next and the nest a little hotter all week long.
In general the temperatures in southern California will be in the mid 70s all week.
Looking now over to the southwest where it continues to be hot. Tucson will hit 107 today and Yuma under the influence of a thermal low over Needles will be around 115 this afternoon.
Local forecasters are still mentioning the chance of showers and or thunderbumpers south and east of Tucson. I’m thinking this is probably CYA stuff as the water vapor imagery is showing very little moisture in the region. Perhaps tomorrow they could see some moisture slip south from weak low moving through the Great Basin. We’ll see?
That is what is going on to the north of us. Back on this side of the Fence the northern Sea will see moderate NE winds today.
The central Sea from San Franciscito bay to Concepcion Bay will see moderate NW winds this afternoon. A bit stronger along the Sonoran coast.
The southern Sea mostly light to moderate SW winds today. Puerto Escondido sort of on the cusp should see moderate NE this afternoon.
So it looks like two more days of moderate northerlies then Wednesday the winds swing back to the south. June is normally a “tweener” month with a few days of northerlies and a few days of southerlies waiting for Death Valley to heat up and give us that strong thermal low over the Yuma region that gives us our summer southerlies.
Temperatures should be a couple of degree higher today with several locations hitting the century mark. Most will be in the mid to high 90s.

.Looking down into the Sea this morning I can see that the Sea has been free of any cloudiness for the past 24 hours.
The southern crossing has had some clouds drifting into the passage area from the east. They are rather scattered and poise no rain threats
From a bit south of Mazatlan there is pretty much solid thunderbumper action all the way along the coast to South America.
All of these storms are moving out of the mountains and moving toward the coast and then move out into the Pacific. Many are very tall, strong storms.
The entire Eastern Pacific basin all the way out to around 130 has numerous areas of showers and thunderbumpers. They pretty much blanket this portion of the basin.
Sister Carlotta became depressed just after my weather yesterday morning and has now been plutoed to a remnant low. She will continue to dump lots of rain back in the mountains of South-Central Mexico for the next couple of days. Flash flooding and mudslides are of a major concern to the area.
Another menu item for the back burner in our Tropical Kitchen is a low that I mentioned yesterday. It is around 500 miles west of Manzanillo and has now been designated as invest 95. Global models are suggesting that any leftover spin from Carlotta could merge with this low in the next couple of days so we’ll be watching this developing system. Right now it has only a very slight chance of developing into anything tropical in the next 48 hours.
That’s what is going on in our hood this morning so looking now north to the west coast of America where the storm track is still open along the Washington/Canadian border. Western Washington will continue to see passing light showers into mid week.
The rest of the west coast, under building high pressure, will see a robust warming trend. Along the coast they will see temperatures 5-10 degrees warmer than yesterday and the inland valleys will seek the century mark today Redding will hit 109 today.
In southern California high pressure will continue to build aloft today for another warn day inland and some warming along the coasts. There will be a gradual cooling trend tomorrow and Tuesday then another ridge is expected to build in for a warming trend midweek. June Gloom will continue in the morning and evening hours along the coast clearing by late morning.
Looking now over to the southwest where it continues to be hot. Tucson today will be around 107. There will be blowing dust late this afternoon as the winds pick up over south-central Arizona today.
Again today the prognosticators are saying there continues to be a slight chance of some thunderbumper activity in the higher elevations. I’m thinking perhaps just some buildup as the water vapor imagery is not showing much moisture in the area.
That’s what is going on to the north of us. Back on this side of the Fence there will be mostly moderate west or northwest winds in the northern and central Sea for the 3-day forecast period.
The Sonoran coast will see brisk to strong northerlies during this period in the 19-25 knot ranges.
The southern Sea will continue to see light to moderate SW winds for the next 3 days.
Temperatures today today about like yesterday and be in the mid to high 90s.

.Looking down into the Sea this morning I can see that the Sea of Cortez has had another day of no cloudiness.
Looking south to the Mexican Riviera it is a different story. From back in the mountains east of Puerto Vallarta to around Manzanillo there have been numerous thunderbumper developing and moving toward the coast. This morning there is one over Cabo Corrienties and another over Manzanillo. Rain in both locations this morning.
Then you get to hurricane Carlotta. In this image the eye has collapsed. As of early this morning she was about 160 miles ESE of Acapulco with sustained winds of 75 mph. she is about 30 miles inland and the mountains are starting to take it toll on her. The result is that sister Carlotta is expected to meander inland over south-central Mexico and steadily weaken become a tropical storm later today and become a depression by tonight.
The major problem is the squalls along the coast for the next couple of days and very heavy rains especially over the mountains causing flash flooding and mudslides.
It looks like the sphere of influence will extend north to around Cabo Corrienties where they can expect to see high, perhaps dangerous surf along the coast. The southern crossing is not forecast to have seas greater than 3-5 feet over the next couple of days but to be on the safe side I’d postpone a crossing until Monday.
And that’s not all that’s in the tropical kitchen this morning. About 500 miles southwest of Manzanillo there is a broad area of low pressure with lots of thunderbumper activity in the area. It has not been designated at invest at this time and will most likely peter out with sister Carlotta taking most of the moisture from the area
That’s what is going on in our hood so looking now north to the west coast of America where at the top of this image the Great Northwest will see light showers again today as a series of weak lows move though the northern Washington.
To the south, the rest of Washington, Oregon and California will be warm along the coast and hot inland. Sacramento will hit 109 today.
Southern California under weak low pressure will continue to have a deep marine layer extending inland until early afternoon. Tomorrow the low will give way to building high pressure and warm things up a bit.
Looking over to the southwest where the Tucson area will see 101 today and Sunday will be around 107 and around 110 in the lower deserts.
There is not much moisture in the air but the real weather guys are still hinting that there is still a chance of some thunderbumper activity in the southeastern part of the state in the mountains. We’ll see?
That’s what is going on to the north of us. Back on this side of the Fence the northern Sea will see moderate northerly winds over the 3-day forecast period with stronger westerly winds along the Sonoran coast Saturday and Sunday.
The central Sea moderate northerlies for the 3-day forecast period.
The southern Sea starting around Puerto Escondido with very moderate winds will have a southern flavor, southwestern along the East Cape.
Temperatures about the same as yesterday and be in the mid to high 90s.

.Looking down into the Sea this morning I can see that the Sea of Cortez has had another day of cloudless skies.
Looking south to the Mexican Riviera I can see there has been some thunderbumper activity back in the mountings with the storms drifting toward the coast from around Manzanillo to Zihuatanejo during the night but they have moved off shore and dissipated by sunrise.
The ITCZ/Monsoon trough is again quite active this morning.
Things are cranking up in our tropical kitchen this morning. At 8:52 last night that low I mentioned yesterday morning became tropical depression 3 Echo and at 2:36 this morning the National Hurricane Center designated it as our 3rd named storm of the year, Carlotta.
Carlotta currently is sitting on 10N out about 120W with 40 knot winds. The current tracking models show her moving pretty much on a dead track for Acapulco, developing into a cat 1 hurricane on Friday and Saturday and making landfall on Sunday morning as a tropical storm again.
Mexico will soon be issuing Hurricane watches and warnings along the southern west coast of Mexico. Right now it looks like the sphere of influence will be north to perhaps Manzanillo.
The other item on the back burner in our Tropical Kitchen yesterday
Morning was an area of disturbed weather west of Acapulco that the weather folks were hinting it could become a low. Well that has not happened. However the area is still designated as invest 93 but it looks like nothing will come of it.
That’s what is going on in our hood so looking now north to the west coast of America where the Great Northwest has a weak front moving through that will bring a little rain with it today then dry out for the rest of the week.
The rest of Oregon and California will see moderate temperatures and lots of sunshine until Friday when high pressure is advertized to move in from the Pacific. This will crank up the Temperature gages all over the west. Along the coast the temperatures today will be in the high 60s to the low 70s. This weekend they will be in the mid 80s.
Over in the southwest 102-103 today in the Tucson area. This weekend it will be around 107 and Yuma around 113.
That’s what is going on to the north of us. Back on this side of the Fence the northern and southern see will see brisk to strong southerlies today especially along the Sonoran coast south to almost Mazatlan Today.
The northern crossing will also see 19-20 knot southerlies this afternoon.
Puerto Escondido south should see the moderate southerlies continue for them today.
Temperatures will climb a bit and we should see many locations break the century mark today.

.Looking down into the Sea this morning I can see that for the past 24 hours the Sea has seen sporadic passing high whispys, hazy.
This morning the skies will clear with only a few high whispys seen in the far northern Sea.
At the south end of the Sea the will see some cloudiness early this morning that will dissipate probably by sunrise. So it looks like the Sea will be seeing mostly sunshine today.
Looking south to the Mexican Riviera: I can see there has been some serious thunderbumper activity back in the mountains from around Cabo Corrienties to Manzanillo during the night. These storms moved toward the coast and the only one still on shore at 5:30 this morning was right over Cabo Corrienties. It will most likely continue moving west and be off shore or dissipated by later in the morning. Manzanillo showed about a third inch of rain last night.
Taking a look now first at the ITCZ/Monsoon trough: It is a hotbed of activity. From Guatemala and Costa Rica west all the way out to around 120 there are too many thunderstorms to count.
Looking now in our tropical kitchen where it’s starting to get busy this morning with two items on the back burners.
The first is a low that is about 400 miles south of the Guatemala border and El Salvador. This low has a good chance of developing into a tropical depression over the next couple of days. The National Hurricane Center is giving it a 50% chance of becoming our next tropical storm in the next 48 hours.
On the other burner is a broad trough of low pressure located several hundred miles southwest of Acapulco. This system is progged to develop slowly and the National Hurricane Center is only giving it a 20% chance of become a tropical storm in the next 48 hours.
So we have a couple of items cooking in the tropical kitchen this morning. Tis the season so we’ll be keeping a close watch on their development.
That’s what is going on in our hood so looking now north to the west coast of America where that Alaskan cold front that brought light rain to the Great Northwest yesterday has moved east into the Rockies. There is however a deepening trough of low pressure over most of the western conus that will be with us until this weekend.
Washington, Oregon and all of California will see sunshine today. Morning low clouds and fog along the coast should clear later in the morning.
Southern California will continue to see June Gloom with a nice thick layer of fog extending inland this morning and it should clear by early afternoon. Temperatures in the southland will be in the low to mid 70s today.
Looking now over to the southwest where it continues to be hot and dry. The winds over the southwest will be gusterly until the weekend when high pressure returns to the region.
Temperatures today in the Tucson area will be around 105 and cool a bit each day until Sunday when it should start to heat up again.
Again the prognosticators at the National Weather Service are hinting that some moisture will creep northward into New Mexico and far eastern Arizona by the weekend as a closed low forms off the west coast of Baja. This could produce some mountain thunderbumpers in the eastern part of the state over the weekend. We’ll see?
That’s what is going on to the north of us. Back on this side of the Fence the northern Sea will see moderate southerlies over the 3-day forecast period.
The central Sea from Santa Rosalia to Concepción bay will see brisk to strong southerlies today and tomorrow and back to the moderate ranges on Friday.
Puerto Escondido south to La Paz moderate southerlies today and tomorrow diminishing by a couple of knots on Friday.
The cape area from a bit north of Cabo Pulmo to around the corner to the Cape area will see brisk to strong SW winds over the 3-day forecast period. This could also include the south-western portion of the southern crossing for today and tomorrow.
Today temperatures will be a tad higher today with several locations bettering the century mark. Most will be in the mid to high 90s though.

.Looking down into the Sea this morning I can see that most of the east coast of Baja had high cirrus (whispys) from time to time yesterday.
Looking at the water vapor imagery it looks like this will continue all day today as well.
All this is coming from a very active monsoon trough. It is sending enough clouds out into the Eastern Pacific basin to pretty much blanket the entire basin.
Looking over to the west coast of Baja the fog along the coast looks like it is sort of hit and miss along the coast until you reach the border where it thickens up.
Looking south to along the Mexican Riviera I can see some pretty heavy thunderbumper activity back in the mountains to the east of Zihuatanejo this morning that have been working their way toward the coast dissipating somewhat as they reach the coast. The coast currently has scattered clouds from around Cabo Corrienties south to around the Acapulco area where they have had heavy thunderbumpers all night and they continue this morning.
Looking now at the Gulf of Tehuantepec where they too have had heavy thunderbumper activity during the nigh and at 5:30 it was however mostly cloudy with no storms in the Gulf.
Taking a look now in our tropical kitchen: First, that low that was embedded in the monsoon trough and designated invest 93 is now history.
Satellite imagery this morning is now showing an area of deep convection near 7N 87W that the models are hinting will be the next tropical disturbance. The GFS model shows slow development over the next 24-48 hours followed by more rapid development tomorrow night and Thursday.
The models show the low (which is not evident right now) developing near the Gulf of Tehuantepec. So it looks like we could have something cooking on the back burner in our topical kitchen.
That’s about it for our hood this morning so looking now north to the west coast of America where there is a cold front just off the Washington coast that has dropped down from the Gulf of Alaska. It will produce light rain from the Canadian border to around Eureka today and slowly move east tomorrow and be in the Great Basin by late Wednesday and Thursday.
The rest of northern California will remain dry and continue to have seasonal temperatures in the mid to high 90s in the inland valleys and in the 70s along the coast.
Southern California will see about a 800 foot thick fog bank extending inland until late morning then clear to the coast this afternoon. Today will be the warmest day of the week with a cooler trend expected tomorrow though Friday as that cold front passed to the north. A slight warming trend may arrive this weekend.
Looking now over to the southwest where it will continue to be hot and dry. Temperatures in the Tucson area will be in the 102-105 ranges over the next couple of days. The lower deserts will see temperatures in the 108-110 ranges.
Thursday it will be a little gusterly as that front passes though the Great Basin.
With the official start of Arizona’s Monsoon season just a few days away the long range models are hinting this weekend could see some thunderbumper activity in the eastern mountains this weekend. We’ll see?
That’s what is going on to the north of us. Back on this side of the Fence the northern see will continue to see moderate southerlies today and tomorrow, picking up on Thursday as that front to the north moves though.
The central Sea from around San Franciscito bay to Concepcion bay will see light to moderate northerlies today then swinging to the SE tomorrow and Thursday and be in the ballpark 20 knot ranges.
The southern Sea will see light variable winds today picking up just a tad tomorrow and Thursday.
It looks like there is enough gradient across the La Paz isthmus to have up to 20 knot Cormwells this evening. We’ll see?
The whispys will keep most of the temperatures today in the mid 90. I don’t think any location will hit the century mark today.

.Looking down into the Sea this morning I can see that yesterday we started to see some high cirrus passing over the Sea of Cortez as well as along the Riviera.
This morning the water vapor imagery is showing that we will continue to see these whispys today. They are coming from a very active Monsoon trough that is spreading clouds north at far as Turtle Bay along the west coast.
They will be scattered and broken so some areas along the peninsula will have some high cloud cover while a few miles away it could be clear.
Looking south along the Mexican Riviera this morning I can see they will also see some high whispys today south to around Zihuatanejo. From there south there is fairly heavy thunderbumper activity along the coast south to the Gulf of Tehuantepec where the entire isthmus from the Caribbean to the Pacific is one big thunderbumper this morning.
Looking out into the Eastern Pacific basin the entire southeastern portion is pretty much solid cloud cover. All this is emanating from a very active monsoon trough along 10N this morning.
Still embedded in this trough is that low that has been designated invest 93 and has been slowly moving west for the past 5 days. It still has the potential to develop into something tropical but the window of opportunity is quickly closing. The current models are showing it continuing its westward movement with very little swing to the north so no matter what happens to this system the west coast of Mexico and the Baja peninsula will not be in harms way.
That’s about it for our hood so looking now north to the west coast of America where at the very top of this image is the only item that will affect the weather in the west this week. It is a low that is currently in the Gulf of Alaska.
It will arrive on along the U.S. Canadian border Wednesday and drop into the Great Basin probably Thursday resulting in falling bar heights over the basin and cooling down the southwest in the later part of the week.
In the meantime the Great Northwest will see light rain most of the week.
Northern California will be pretty much clear and dry with moderate seasonal temperatures.
Southern California under weak high pressure building over the west will bring a warming trend through tomorrow. The southland will be breezy and cool off a few degrees as that front passed through to the north then later in the week warm back up again for next weekend.
Looking now over to the southwest where it will continue to be hot and dry for the entire week. Temperatures this week will be in the 103-105 ranges for the Tucson area. In the lower deserts temperatures could reach 110 on Wednesday.
Later in the week as that cold front dips down into the Great Basin it will cool off a bit then the temperatures will rebound as high pressure fills in during the weekend.
That’s what is going on to the north of us. Back on this side of the Fence it looks like today the entire Sea will see moderate southerlies while the northern crossing area will se moderate northerlies today.
Tomorrow from around San Franciscito bay south to Concepcion bay moderate NE. The rest of the Sea SE. Wed the entire Sea will see brisk to strong southerlies. At least that is what it is looking like right now.
Temperatures today for most locations will be about the same as yesterday and be in the high 80s in the northern Sea to the high 90s for the central and southern Sea.

.Looking down into the Sea this morning I can see we have had another day of cloudless skies over the Sea of Cortez.
Looking over to the west side of the Baja peninsula it looks like a fairly heavy fog bank hugs the coast from Cabo Falso south to southern California this morning. This image is indicating the marine layer extending inland quite a ways the length of the peninsula.
Looking south to the Mexican Riviera I can see that around Manzanillo there is a narrow band of clouds moving in from the Pacific.
Looking further south to the Gulf of Tehuantepec where I can see a very tall big honk’n thunderbumper moving into the Gulf at 5am. This not only blankets the Gulf it extends several hindered miles to the west and to the south over Guatemala. I would not like to under this honker.
Looking now at the ITCZ/Monsoon trough that is snaking along 10N this morning. That low that has been embedded in the zone for the past 4 days was just designated invest 93 early this morning. This image is showing a heavy concentration of clouds around this low and the forecast is for this area to probably become a tropical depression within the next 24-36 hours. The National Hurricane Center gives is 50% chance of becoming cyclonic over the same time frame.
If this does become a named storm her name will be Carlotta. The computer models are showing its potential track for this system to continue moving west with very little northward movement so it looks like there is little or no danger to the Baja peninsula from this system.
OK, that’s what is cooking in our tropical kitchen this morning. Looking now north to the west coast of America where high pressure is building in from the west.
In Northern California’s coastal areas it will remain cool with coastal fog lasting until mid morning. Inland valleys will begin a warming trend. The Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys will be in the high 90s this rest of the week.
Southern California will continue to see June Gloom along the coast with inland regions warming up to the mid 80s and low 90s during the week.
Looking now over to the southwest where due to the passing of a front to the north it will again be gusterly today but not quite as much as yesterday. Yesterday in the Herford area that were seeing gusts to 30 mph and this morning at 3am they were still seeing gusts to 28. Twenty-five hundred ft lower in Tucson their gusts were in the 20 mph ranges yesterday afternoon. It will continue to be very dry in the southwest with daytime highs over the lower deserts peaking around 110 by next Wednesday.
I’ve been mentioning the monsoon season for Arizona for a few days now and I had an email asking if I was joking or does Arizona actually have a monsoon season. The answer is yes. Arizona does have a monsoon season.
During the winter time, the primary wind flow in Arizona is from the west or northwest—from California and Nevada. As we move into the summer, the winds shift to a southerly or southeasterly direction. Moisture streams northward from the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico and northward up the Sierra Madra Occidentals mountain range on the mainland into Arizona.
The other factor is a thermal low that heats up over the California deserts. Most of the time this thermal low shows up over the Yuma area like it did this morning. The results: Heavy thunderbumper in the afternoons and evenings.
As I was researching this I wanted to know what kicked off the monsoon season. The answer was the “Captain Ron answer”, “No body knows”.
As a sidebar: This thermal low over Yuma is the magnet that brings southern winds up the Sea of Cortez in the summer. The summer southerly winds normally end in late October. By the way, apparently the term "monsoons" as in "when the monsoons arrive ..." is a meteorological no-no. There is no such beast. The word should be used in the same manner that "summer" is used. Therefore, the proper terminology is "monsoon thunderstorms" not "monsoons”.
So endity Arizona Monsoon 101 and that is what is gong on to the north of us. Back on this side of the Fence our very pleasant summer continues.
Today and tomorrow the Sea will see moderate southerlies then on Tuesday the moderate winds swing to the north.
The southern see will continue to see light southerlies over the 3-day forecast period.
Temperatures should be a few degrees higher than yesterday with a few breaking the century mark. Most will be in the mid to high 90s this afternoon.

.Looking down into the Sea this morning I can see that the Sea of Cortez has been cloud free for the past 24 hours.
Along the west coast of the Baja peninsula from the Laguna area just south of Turtle Bay it looks like a thick fog bank hugs the coast north to about La La Land.
Looking south along the Mexican Riviera they too have been cloud free all the way to just south of Zihuatanejo. From there south there has been sporadic thunderbumpers popping up along the coast.
The Gulf of Tehuantepec had some thunderbumper activity yesterday however this morning the Gulf is pretty much free of any cloudiness. The forecast for the Gulf over the 3-day forecast period is for very moderate SW winds.
Looking now out into the monsoon trough where it is very active this morning. Lots of very tall thunderbumpers. That embedded low that is slowly moving west around 107W this morning has expanded its sphere of influence over the past 24 hours to an area about the size of Texas. Conditions however are not favorable for much intensification over the next couple of days as it moves west.
The models are now favoring development of multiple low pressure systems forming further east near Central America over the next 3-5 day period. So we’ll be keeping an eye on that.
That’s about it for our hood so looking now north to the west coast of America where a weather maker cold front that moved ashore in Washington State yesterday. It is now dropping rain over the Rockies and the southern tail is swinging through the Great Basin. Not a lot of moisture in the tail end of this system but it will give cause to very gusterly conditions in the basin today.
Northern California will continue to be cool and gusterly due to a weak closed low near the California/Oregon border. SFO had 50 mph winds yesterday. Tomorrow should start to see a warming trend extending well into next week. The winds will also dissipate as high pressure fills in.
June Gloom will continue in Southern California with the marine layer extending into the inland valleys during the night and mornings. It will be windy in the mountains and deserts today then the winds will decrease tonight and tomorrow a warming trend will extend into the middle of next week.
Looking now over to the southwest where strong and gusterly winds will develop today as the tail end of the cold front passes through Arizona. Otherwise it will be hot and getting hotter with the deserts seeing temperatures around 110 by the middle of next week.
Red Flag fire warnings have been posted for SW Arizona today. Still there are no indications that the annual monsoon season will be starting soon.
That’s what is going on to the north of us. Back on this side of the Fence the Sea will be seeing moderate southerlies over the 3-day forecast period.
Today in the northern Sea the strongest winds will be along the northern Sonoran coast. Guaymas south to Mazatlan should see moderate SW winds in the 16-18 knot ranges.
On the Baja side today the points, Chivato and Concepcion, will see 15-19 gusts this afternoon and moderate southerlies for the rest of the central Sea.
The southern Sea starting with Puerto Escondido south to the East Cape moderate SE winds today.
Today’s temperatures about the same as yesterday in the high 80s to the mid 90s.

.Looking down into the Sea this morning I can see that we have had another 24 hours of cloud free skies.
Looking south to the Mexican Riviera where the skies have been clear south to around Acapulco. This morning I can see a big honk’n thunderbumper working right over the top of Acapulco.
A bit further to the south at the Gulf of Tehuantepec it looks like their pattern of small thunderstorms throughout the Gulf continue this morning and will probably continue all day.
Looking now out to the ITCZ/Monsoon trough where that area of low pressure continues to slowly drift west within the zone. There is considerable thunderbumper activity around this area.
GFS and the Euro model forecast show the monsoon trough becoming more active over the weekend hinting at possible tropical cyclonic development between 100W and 105W. So it looks like we may have something on the back burner in our tropical kitchen. We’ll see?
That’s about it for our hood so looking now north to the west coast of America where water vapor imagery gives the best image of this rather large low and associated cold front swirling over Washington State this morning. It will be bringing rain to Seattle, Portland and extreme northern California through tomorrow.
The rest of California will remain dry and on the cool side as the cold front passes today. High pressure in the Pacific will start to move eastward this weekend and warm things back up again. The Sacramento valley today will be in the mid 80s and Monday around 100.
Southern California in the mid 70s today will see around 90 early next week.
Looking now over to the southwest where it will be hot and dry today with temperatures around 105 in Tucson today.
The tail end of that low system passing to the north will bring some strong and gusterly winds tomorrow cranking up the fire danger in the state.
It should cool down a few degrees Sunday and be back to typical June weather in the southwest.
That’s what is going on to the north of us. Back on this side of the Fence a delightful June continues. In general the pattern for the 3-day forecast period is for moderate southerlies for the entire Sea. The southern Sea albeit on the light side though.
Along the west coast of Mexico moderate SW winds in the mid teens and less for the next 3 day.
Conditions seem to be amping up for some tropical development perhaps this weekend within the monsoon trough. Taking a look at the Atlantic map I don’t see any tropical waves heading our way so any development will have to start without the aid of a tropical wave much the same as our last two named storms Aletta and Bud. Carlotta is the next name on the list.
Meantime here in the Sea of Cortez we should see temperatures about the same as yesterday and be in the mid to high 90s.

.Looking down into the Sea this morning I can see we have had another day free of any cloudiness in the Sea of Cortez.
Looking over to the west coast of the Baja peninsula it looks like that marine layer that has been there for over a week is now a bit weaker this morning with only spotty patches of fog along the coast from Turtle Bay north.
Looking now south to the Mexican Riviera where there has also been no cloudiness in the past 24 hours with the exception of the Gulf of Tehuantepec. This morning there have been several small thumpers working within the Gulf and that seems to be the pattern for the past 24 hours.
Looking now out to the ITCZ/Monsoon trough where that embedded low that has been slowly moving west in the zone for the past two days is causing increased thunderbumper activity in that area. It is currently around 137W and heading for cooler waters so it’s almost history.
Nothing going on in our tropical kitchen this morning so looking now north to the west coast of America where a fast moving cold low has moved out of the Gulf of Alaska and is approaching Washington state this morning. It will be bringing rain and cooler weather to Washington, Oregon, and extreme northern California today into Saturday. High pressure will start to fill in on Sunday.
Southern California will be influenced by this cold front and remain cool and breezy through Saturday and then high pressure moving in from the Pacific will start to warm things up again. By Monday the temperatures in all of California will be around 10 degrees warmer than today.
Looking now over to the southwest where they too will be influenced by this cold front that will just brush northern Arizona through Saturday. The main affect of this system will be increased winds on Saturday and slightly cooler temperatures on Sunday and Monday.
Meantime it will remain hot and dry and there are still no signs that the annual monsoon season will start in the near future.
That’s what is going on to the north of us. Back on this side of the Fence our pleasant weather continues.
Today and for the 3-day forecast period the northern and central Sea will see moderate winds with a southern flavor. The southern Sea the winds will be lighter and they too will have a southern flavor.
Temperatures will be in the mid to high 90s for most locations.

.Looking down into the Sea this morning I can see the Sea again has been cloud free for the past 24 hours.
Looking south I can’t see any clouds along the west coast of Mexico until you get to the Gulf of Tehuantepec where there have been several thunderbumpers working in the Gulf all night and it looks like that will continue at least until mid morning.
Looking out into the ITCZ/Monsoon trough where I can see there is just moderate convection along the zone this morning. There is still that 1010 low embedded in the zone. It continues to slowly move west and is now around 127W with a very slim chance of developing into anything tropical.
That’s about it for our hood. Not much going on here so looking now north to the west coast of America where at the top of this image I can see a 998 low off the Washington coast that will be one of several that will make landfall this week in the Great Northwest and bring light rain and showers to the region.
Northern California under weak high pressure that will help temperatures warm a couple of degrees over yesterday. Not much change on tap for tomorrow then one of the lows passing to the north will cool conditions down into the weekend. High pressure is then forecast to rebuild in the Pacific and warm things back up next week.
Southern California under weak high pressure will continue to have very mild conditions for most of the week. Temperatures in the low to mid 70s during the day. June Gloom along the coast reaching into the inland valleys in the morning hours. Gusterly west winds are expected in the deserts and mountains until this weekend.
Looking now over to the southwest where I keep looking for any signs of the impending start of their monsoonal season but none are showing up. In the meantime it will remain dry, hot and gusterly into the weekend. Temperatures will be in the 102-105 ranges.
That’s whets going on to the north of us. Back on this side of the Fence it looks like just another 4-star day for Baja.
The northern Sea is expected to see moderate southerlies for the 3-day forecast period.
The central Sea south to Concepción Bay moderate east winds on the Baja side and moderate SW winds along the Sonoran coast for the 3-day forecast period.
The southern Sea from Puerto Escondido south should see moderate southerlies over the 3-day forecast period.
Temperatures will be in the normal ranges for June and be in the mid 70s over night and mid to high 90s during the day. Several locations will probably break the century mark today. Humidity ranges can dip to the low teens in the late afternoons and pop up to around 70% during the nights. Still comfortable, not quite muggy.

.Looking down into the Sea this morning I can see that there has been no cloudiness in the Sea of Cortez for the past 24 hours.
Looking over to the west coast of the Baja peninsula I can see there is a rather thick fog bank hugging the coast from a bit south of Turtle Bay to northern California and the Bay Area. It looks like the fog extends inland almost all the way across the peninsula from Turtle Bay to Santa Rosalia. Santa Rosalia however is clear this morning. Yesterday morning there was high overcast at San Ignacio when I drove through at 8am.
Looking south I can see there has been some moderate thunderbumper activity back in the mountains east of La Cruz and Los Mochas. It is in this area that most of our Chubbasco storms originate.
Looking further south I can see there was some cloudiness between Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta during the night but it looks like most of the clouds have dissipated now.
The rest of the Riviera looks to be cloud free this morning. Looking at the Gulf of Tehuantepec: the Gulf in general is clear however there was a nice thumper working along the southern shore of the Gulf around Salina Cruz at 5am.
Looking now out to the ITCZ/Monsoon trough where there is a 1010 embedded low near 9N123W this morning. It is forecast to continue moving westward over the next couple of days with no tropical development forecast.
That’s about it for our hood so looking now north where the big weather news is a cold front moving through the Great Northwest this morning into the Great Basin. The southern swing of this front extends south into Sonora.
It is bringing light rain to Portland, Seattle and northern California this morning but the major affect will be the strong winds ahead of this frontal boundary that will keep fire danger high due to the prevailing hot and dry conditions across the Great Basin and the southwest.
Southern California remains rather cool with temperatures in the low 80s. The marine layer extends into the inland valleys this morning and are forecast to clear by late morning.
Looking now over to the southwest where that low and associated cold front will skirt by to the north through tomorrow morning keeping temperatures around normal say around 101-102. A slight warming trend starting tomorrow will bring the temperatures back in the 102-103 ranges into the end of the week.
That’s what is going on to the north of us. Back on this side of the Fence it looks like our weather influences are still coming from the north. It remains rather cool for this time of your for most of Baja.
The northern Sea will see moderate southerlies over the 3-day forecast period.
The central Sea Santa Rosalia to Concepcion Bay most likely moderate NW or NE today and tomorrow then SE on Thursday.
The southern Sea Puerto Escondido south it looks like moderate SE over the 3-day forecast period.
