Your Local Weather / Re: San Diego weather

Thanks again, Gary. 

No doubt in my mind that Michelle will like this thread.  I appreciate her a while back giving me a heads up
on a few of the locations to use.  My promise has finally been fulfilled in getting a regional weather map done
for San Diego.  I have a second closeup version of the map I'm working on as it is a matter of what locations
I can put on it that are not too repetitive of the regional one you see now. El Cajon might be the one I'll
have to have on both.

Your Local Weather / San Diego weather

« on: July 17, 2007, 03:40:06 PM »

I thought I would share what I posted at TWC Classics in terms of a weather report for today with the addition of
a San Diego weather thread at TWC Today.

For past reports and chat posts, feel free to visit the TWC Classics' San Diego weather thread.

After primarily being overcast through the first few hours after sunrise, much of the clouds and haze
is beginning to lift during this late morning in San Diego County.  Temperatures range from the upper 60s
along the coast and already it is into the low 80s in the warm spots inland.

For one of the most pleasant areas of the country, the southwestern-most corner of the United States
will enjoy fair conditions with temperatures in the low to mid 70s along the coast while it will be toasty
in the mountainous areas of San Diego County.

As of right now, I'm holding off on posting Tijuana, Mexico forecasts, but at least I'll proving the latest
weather conditions in my reports.  Campo, California did not provide sky conditions in their report as of
the hour of this update.

I thought I would share what I posted at TWC Classics in terms of a weather report from last night
with the addition of a Los Angeles weather thread at TWC Today.

The report below is from 10:55 PM Pacific Daylight Time last night.

A very pleasant evening in southern California tonight will give way fair skies tomorrow (Sunday).
Depending on where you live in the Los Angeles metropolitan area, it will be noticably warmer inland areas
with forecast high temperatures in the 90s while it'll be in the 80s within 20 or so miles from the coastline
(including downtown Los Angeles).  It will remain dry for at least the next five days.

Thank you very much, Gary.

Plenty more coverage areas to come on both forums are far as graphics are concerned.

I thought I would share what I posted at TWC Classics in terms of a weather report for today for Washington.

http://www.twcclassics.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=4474

The heat wave is finally coming to an end today with the welcomed cold front approaching from the west.
However, those in the Washington-Baltimore corridor will pay a price to get that cooler air into the region.
Earlier this afternoon, the first round of showers and scattered thunderstorms rolled through, including one that
moved across downtown Washington.  More storms are expected tonight with the passage of the cold front.

PLEASE NOTE:
Baltimore's weather report in this post comes from the city's downtown waterfront under the reporting site name
"Inner Harbor" as seen at its National Weather Service page. Olney, Maryland did not issue a weather report.

Thanks guys! 

I decided to take out the two subtitle banners for the local and regional observations non-map screens.
They were just too big.

Another sweltering day is underway in the City of Brotherly Love as it will be very hot and quite humid
this afternoon. Once again, high temperatures may come very close to reaching the century mark in
some locations. Even if they don't, heat indices in the high majority of reporting sites across the
lower Delaware River valley are above 100°.

While it won't be until late tomorrow or Thursday at the earliest for this heat wave to end, showers
and thunderstorms are possible across the region this afternoon, tonight and tomorrow. It is expected
to reach 90° again tomorrow as well.

For the rest of today, an Excessive Heat Warning is in effect until 6:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time.



PLEASE NOTE:
Some locations have already had their temperatures surpass their forecasted peak readings.

Today is expected to be the hottest day of the 2007 calendar year in the New York City metropolitan area as
well as other parts of the northeastern United States. Temperatures are expected to top out in the mid to
upper 90s this afternoon with some hazy conditions in some areas. The hot spots of northern New Jersey and
the Lower Hudson River Valley may be close to 100°.

It will remain unseasonably hot and it will be humid (as a typical July day should) for at least the next two days.
The chance for showers and scattered thunderstorms will increase as the week progresses and hopefully
the first true heat wave will end by Thursday or Friday as peak temperatures will be back to seasonable levels.

The activists' intentions of spreading global warming awareness is all well and good, but scare tactics and overkill might turn some people off.  We don't want to see global warming become just another bandwagon trend and then fade away after overexposure by the media.

Part of the problem is The Weather Channel doing a bit too much talk on global warming right now instead of an occasional feature story periodically.  It seems like every single day it is brought up as often as everyday weather forecasts.

Nice site, Gary.  With Matt's decision to have mostly the classic content on his site (and it is perfectly fine in my book as it serves the purpose of the meaning of the site name), at least there is a place where fans of The Weather Channel of today can go besides our appreciation of the classic years.

There is no doubt in my mind that The Climate Code (and the Dr. Heidi Cullen-hosted episodes of Forecast Earth) is the least interesting show for me to sit down and watch.  It Could Happen Tomorrow has gotten really redundant.

I don't have a personal issue with Dr. Cullen, but I'm getting tired of the constant force feed of the global warming issue, too.  I know we have to take better care of the environment, but I think the focus should be on getting industry that contribute to the problem to be a part of the solution.
