In music, a caesura denotes a brief, silent pause, during which metrical time is not counted, similar to
a silent fermata. Caesurae are located between notes or measures (before or over bar lines), marked
by double oblique lines, popularly called “tram-lines” in the UK and “train tracks” in the US.

Dominant design: key technological feature that becomes a de facto standard.
A dominant design is the one that wins the allegiance of the marketplace. Ex. Ampex’s pause symbol,
based on the caesura; AC vs DC; VHS vs Betamax; Mac and Windoze vs Xerox PARC; etc.

Fairmont to sell one tower for SJSU student housing • Nov 22, 2023 Metro

• a $113 million deal with Throckmorton Partners of Mill Valley to convert the 264-room south tower
of the former Fairmont Hotel (currently 805 rooms total) into a 700-bed student residence hall.

• called the Bay Area’s largest post-pandemic conversion of commercial property for residential use.

• “Will lead to hundreds more students living within a short walking distance to campus
and contributing to downtown small businesses and entertainment venues. Underscores the
university’s commitment to housing more of its students and also its continued investment
in downtown San José’s economic vitality and success,” per univ PR.

• will include 124 affordable beds for students in need. Ultimately, the university aims to
leverage new state housing-specific funding secured earlier this year to deliver a total of
517 affordable student beds across its entire housing stock in the coming years.

• financed from a $89 million debt relief package awarded this year by the state.

amateur historian Gary Singh adds:
Following a fire, the Chinese relocated [and] a new city post office was built. The post office
later became the San Jose Public Library, before it became the Museum of Art. Same building.

Exactly 100 years after the Chinatown fire, the Fairmont opened for business in 1987. By the
mid-1990s, it was already going under, so Lew Wolff partnered with a Saudi prince to save
the place, which he did, but not without some serious handouts. A few years later, the city
gave Wolff millions in public money to build an additional Fairmont tower, a process that
famously required moving the Montgomery Hotel 200 feet down the sidewalk. Both of these
buildings have been underutilized ever since, so people should be debating this for decades
to come, if they even care anymore.

Last week it was announced that Wolff’s former hotel extension would now be leased to SJSU
so that it could be used for much-needed undergraduate housing. Gone, the days of six
roommates sharing a $1,200 a month crumbling Victorian with a beater ’50s-era
fridge and peeling linoleum.

. This was my first concert at the age of 14, dad said no way are you going to the city, mom said yes.
. back in '82 my friend and I were searching for this cassette ( haha remember these?). We searched so many record stores and we couldn't find it, finally we asked a sales person and they said it was an EP so you couldn't get it in cassette format. We were so bummed.
\@user-yn2yi4zk2s: The song is from 1982 the year that my dad was born
. The last time I heard this song was when I was 18 until I browsed YouTube today. What a Gem.
. This one set on repeat
. Joe was great on this song, had the right voice for it.
. I played the HELL out of this album in high school. I never understood why Rainbow weren’t arena-level huge. They had one of rock’s all-time great guitarists, a powerful singer and terrific songs.
. Ritchie. His melodies are so beautiful, yet vulgar, at the same time. He plays with pure magic, love, and anger.
. Joe Lynn Turner was one hell of a frontman also.
. in Jersey he always came to WDHA FM 105.5 every time
. It wasn't just the great music, it was the big console stereo systems we had. Big speakers, full sound - you physically felt the music! We didn't really know what we had.
. Right {😀 Grinning Face} my older brother's Marantz amplifier and tape deck!
. If you are part of the MTV 80s generation those songs take you right back to that sliver of time in our lives that no other generation will Ever understand..
. Kids today have no idea the quality of life that Gen X had. Everything from music, movies, cartoons even our food, it was all quality. I know every generation does this thinking their time was the best but ours really was.

Many a night lying in the back of helicopter, I stare out at the night sky and have those exact thoughts, then hope we get a mission to launch, so I'd could lose those thoughts for a while. Even though we reconnected when I got home, she wouldn't marry someone whose eyes were now empty and I lost her again.

Essence Sept 2023 by Fluker:
Can fashion actually improve your mental health? A deeper level of work is needed
to [gain] a positive attitude and improved self-esteem. However, clothes are a powerful
tool to enhance your state of mind at a given moment. When we put on clothes that
have significant meaning to us, we take on the characteristics of the clothing. This can
explain why wearing your ‘lucky shirt’ may make you feel more equipped.

The pressure to conform might be a hindrance to our mental health. We want to
use clothing to reflect our authentic selves in the best possible way [and] project
an image that reflects comfort and self-esteem. [Your] best clothes make it clear
that you are dignified.

Fashion psychology explores five areas: the way your clothes allow you to navigate
different versions of yourself; the reasons you buy certain items; how your clothes
change your mood; how they impact your body image; and how people use style
to define themselves for others. One thing you can control, to a large degree, is
the way you show up in the world, including your styling choices. Take ownership
of how you present yourself — be intentional about the messages you’re communicating,
the identity you’re expressing or concealing.

Dressing for how you currently feel helps you to stay present by honoring your current
state of mind. Dressing how you want to feel gives you power to shift your mood
and take you out of negative emotional states.

Avoid brands that embrace industrialized practices. The mega-dairies that supply store brands
flout the organic rules without legal consequence. While free from growth hormones, antibiotics
and pesticide residues, factory organic dairy lacks the higher levels of beneficial fats such as
conjugated linoleic acid and omega-3 fatty acids, found in authentic organic milk. Find a brand
that more closely aligns with your expectations for animal care, environmental impact, and
value to human health. If you cannot avoid factory organic dairy, consider finding a local dairy
(try eatwild.com or localharvest.org), or choose industrial organic dairy over conventional dairy.

ChatGPT wrote this: In ML and NLP, Temperature is an algo parameter used to control the randomness of predictions.
A high Temperature value (closer to 1) makes the output more diverse and random, while a lower Temperature
(closer to 0) makes the model’s responses more deterministic and focused on the most likely outcome.
In other words, Temperature adjusts the probability distribution from which the AI model picks its next action.
Affino adds: This means that the way the average user interacts with AIs is guaranteed to lead to hallucinated citations.
OTOH having been trained on trillions of data points, it is going to be more accurate than most people on most
subjects and can act as a great reference point for nearly all subject matter, as long as you learn to sense-check
the output. The big danger will come when we become heavily reliant on AIs for day to day activities, and the
AI starts to stray, or is manipulated into working against us. Likely there will evolve a [gamut] of services with
AIs sense-checking each other, safeguarding against manipulation, and providing agents to look out for us.

nfg crbk lays out 5 screens deep but all blank on my screen!
from NBA site:
Caldwell-Pope face guarded [huh?] [Curry], denying him the basketball.
Jokic looked great (35pts, 13reb, 14fg)
Draymond ‘best on-ball defender’ Green sat out c̄ personal issues
F Dario Saric started in place of Green, his floor spacing ability complementing
the inside presence of Kevon Looney. Looney took Jokic defensively while Saric
guarded Aaron Gordon.
Both teams essentially traded baskets for most of the fourth quarter. In the final 5:05,
Nikola Jokic scored or assisted on 10 straight Nuggets points. Trailing by five with
14 seconds left, Curry hit a leaning 3-pointer that cut the deficit to two. The Warriors
then promptly fouled Jokic, who missed a pair of free throws that gave the Dubs
a chance to tie or take the lead in regulation. Curry could not convert a left-handed
layup and the Warriors fell in a one-possession game.
Curry passed Nick Van Exel for 44th on the NBA all-time assists list.
The Warriors held Denver to just 38.5 percent from the field in the first half (20/52)
but allowed 10 offensive boards, giving DEN 12 more shot attempts on second
chances. Nuggets went first 22+ minutes without a turnover.
In the second half, the Dubs held Denver without an offensive rebound and narrowed
the FG attempts differential to just 92-86.
from Merc:
DENVER — The Warriors had the odds stacked against them, but Wednesday’s game
came down to their final possession. Down two points with seven seconds remaining,
Steph Curry missed the game-tying driving layup leading to Golden State’s eventual
108-105 loss to the Denver Nuggets. Curry had the ball at the top of the arc with Kentavious
Caldwell-Pope right on him, but Curry broke free of his tough defender and got to the rim
for a difficult left-hand underhanded layup that bounced off.
“(Caldwell-Pope) is probably expecting me to step back, I’ve hit some of those
last year in (one-on-one) situations,” Curry said. “Once I got by him, I like the shot
I took. Not afraid of taking it, not afraid of what happens.”
The Warriors could have let this game slip away. They were down two key defenders in
Draymond Green and Gary Payton II and a mile high against the reigning champions on
the final game of a four-game road trip that capped off an arduous start in which they
played seven of their first nine games away from home.
Rookies Trayce Jackson-Davis and Brandin Podziemski seamlessly filled the gaps
in Green and Payton’s absence to make it a game. Jackson-Davis finished with
eight points and two rebounds, a plus-4. Jackson-Davis got in some reps defending
MVP center Nikola Jokic, who had 35 points. Podziemski had five points, three rebounds
and two assists.
Jackson-Davis said, “It’s valuable, especially early in the season,playing
against Joker, one of the best in the world right now, he’s really good. … He does
some things I used to do in college with spinoffs, he has excellent touch around the rim,
he’s a force.”

history around Webdings The use of dingbats on the web has declined significantly from its heyday, having gone
the way of ‘under construction’ GIFs, blinking lights, and GeoCities, though you can still find
some examples of its use if you look hard enough.
from Stack Overflow: [answers generated by AI tools not allowed *]
pixel gifs (often called shim.gif) were used in older designs where understanding of CSS was lacking
or if browser differences (think IE vs Netscape … or box model problems as recently as
early 2010s) made life too complicated. They should be considered a relic of the past and
would not be seen today in a professional CSS layout.
(CHALLENGE: just try to find one that isn’t natively 1x1)
Some older pages that haven’t been maintained in years will still have table-based layouts
with pixel shim images. You should not use them unless non-JS tracking on your site requires
images. However, e-mail clients do not universally support CSS, so it is best practice to code
newsletters/alerts as if it were 1996.
. a useful cheat, as taught at DePaul U in 1999
Even now, shims can fix text that won’t wrap or floats that don’t float. Says this blogger
Through history, browsers have had issues with rendering empty elements and sizing
elements correctly. Using a clear pixel image and stretching it was a fairly universal method to

at 948 AM PST Wed Nov 22 2023

A few clouds to start the day as a weak/decaying cold front
approaches from the north. KBHX radar along the Eureka coast is
actually picking up a few showers off the NorCal coast. For what
it's worth no precip expected for our area. The increasing clouds
and pre-frontal airmass has also led to warmer temperatures this
morning on average. The biggest change is actually in the hills
with some spots running 5-10 degs warmer this morning.
Additionally, pretty dry airmass in place with low humidity in
the hills. If you're traveling or making plans for the
holiday today's weather will be pleasant. No update
needed...

Weather we're watching: Offshore winds Thursday into
Friday...cold overnight lows Friday and Saturday nights...long
period swell over the weekend with sneaker wave threat...and
precip returning early December.

High pressure aloft will gradually weaken across the region today in
response to a shortwave trough impinging on the region from the
northwest. Surface high pressure over the central Great Basin will
weaken in response as a weakening cold front approaches the Bay Area
tonight. The front is not expected to produce any precipitation and
the only real changes will be an uptick in cloud cover and a brief
return to onshore winds along the coast tonight. High temps
this afternoon mostly in the 60s with 70s for the South Bay and
most of the Central Coast. Lows tonight will dip into the 40s
away from the coast with a few 30s likely within the coldest
inland valleys. Winds should remain light.

An upper trough should locate over the central Great Basin on
Thanksgiving Day with dry conditions, seasonal temperatures, and
light winds. By Thursday night into Friday the pressure gradient
will increase as surface high pressure builds over the Great Basin.
This will result in a round of offshore winds for Thursday into
Friday, greatest across the hills and
mountains of the North and East Bays, below Wind Advisory
but it will be breezy. Offshore winds will persist into the weekend,
a much drier airmass with overnight temperatures dropping
into the 30s and 40s away from the coast. Some of the coldest inland areas of
Monterey and San Benito Counties stand a good chance at frost or
freezing temperatures over multiple nights with Friday night being
the coldest. Dry weather looks to continue for the remainder of the
month with ensembles suggesting the next potential for wet weather
during the first week of December. Still plenty of time for things to
change, but we will be watching.

at 1241 AM PST Sun Nov 12 2023

High pressure aloft will be the primary influence on our weather
today as the storm track remains to our north. A few high clouds
will appear from time to time across the Bay Area along the
periphery of an upper level jet but otherwise sunny conditions will
prevail. Light offshore winds will persist through midday given a
modest SFO-WMC offshore pressure gradient with a transition to
onshore winds by late afternoon. This will occur as high pressure
gradually loses influence by tonight in response to digging
troughing over the eastern Pacific. As better onshore flow commences
look for a bit more low stratus development tonight over the waters
and along portions of the coast. Better odds for some fog
development over portions of the North Bay valleys tonight
based on a consensus of hi-res model guidance. Mild temps
will prevail today with highs in the 70s to near 80
away from the coast. Lows tonight will dip into the 40s except near
50 along the coast and bays.

A gale force low pressure system in the Gulf of Alaska will dive
southeast over the next 36 to 48 hours, eventually stalling about
500 miles west of the Bay Area. This setup will bring moist
southerly flow to the region through the week. After several days
meandering in the eastern Pacific, the system will eventually
weaken and move onshore somewhere along the California coast by
late week. The biggest impact from this system will be periods of
moderate rainfall across the Bay Area and rough conditions in the
coastal waters.

Significant uncertainty remains in the exact rainfall totals
through the week. The current forecast calls for rain to begin
late Monday and continue through Friday, with roughly 2–3 inches
for most areas. More rain is expected in the coastal mountains
with less in any valleys with terrain shelter to the south.
While the forecast hasn’t changed significantly, the ensemble
guidance continues to indicate a wide range of possible outcomes.
In fact, the NBM 90th and 10th percentiles were almost outrageous,
with over 10 inches on the high end and only a trace on the low
end. While that’s a safe range, it’s not very useful. The GEFS
and ECMWF EPS are more reasonable, but still show an equal
potential for 1/2" or 4". Normally this spread would be tighter by
now, but the fact that the main driver is a quasi-stationary low
makes the forecast more uncertain that a typical fast moving cold
front, for example. The deterministic GFS vs ECMWF
showed that by Friday the low could still be spinning in the waters
off the Bay Area, or making landfall as an open trough in Southern
California. Without much steering flow, it’s difficult to pin
down the details and the uncertainty will likely remain high even
as the event begins.

With persistent southerly flow increasing the humidity, there is
a hint of instability developing during this event. A few
t-storms are possible Wednesday or Thursday. Otherwise,
mostly cloudy skies will keep the afternoons cool and the
mornings mild. Expect temps to range from high 40s/low 50s
in the mornings to mid/upper 60s in the afternoons.

at 1236 AM PST Sat Nov 11 2023
SYNOPSIS: Persistent rain arrives next week.
High clouds associated with a low amplitude perturbation to our
north were spilling into the Bay Area early this morning. These
clouds will continue to drift south through the region today but
plenty of afternoon sunshine still around. A shortwave ridge
will build into the region later today into tonight bringing quiet
weather and dry conditions to the Bay Area and Central Coast.
Not really much going on in the weather department for this period.
High temps seasonally pleasant, upper 60s to mid 70s most areas
away from the immediate coast and bays. Lows tonight into the 40s
for most areas, except near 50 along the coast and some upper 30s
in far southern Monterey County.

Sunday will stay dry with seasonal temperatures, mostly sunny skies
in the afternoon. Winds will remain light. By Monday, the much
anticipated gale force low pressure system will be migrating south
from the Gulf of Alaska to the eastern Pacific waters a couple hundred
miles west of California. This system will bring increasing cloud cover
and southerly wind. The rain will most likely hold off through at least
the daylight hours Monday, and should start overnight into early
Tuesday morning.
As the low pressure system occludes, it will slowly meander from
the waters off the Bay Area to Southern California, staying about
500 miles off the coast for most of the week. This setup will bring
southerly flow that should pump a persistent source of moisture to
coastal California. Once the rain starts Tuesday morning, it is expected
to continue off and on through Friday.
A couple runs of some deterministic global models backing way off
to roughly 1/2" of total accumulation in low-lying coastal areas.
Despite this, the official forecast has closer to 2" predicted for
these areas. The rationale lies with the difference between the deterministic
QPF and ensemble mean QPF. As a whole, the GEFS and ECMWF
ensembles show similar results, with a wide spread in accumulations
ranging anywhere from 1/2" to 3 or 4" for most
areas, including San Francisco and the East Bay. Interestingly,
the deterministic 00Z GFS and ECMWF models are near the lowest
10% of ensemble members. In other words, there is just as much
chance of getting 3" (90th percentile) as there is chance of
getting 1/2". Clearly the deterministic model on the low end
does not paint the whole picture. The ensemble means have been
surprisingly stable.

at 352 AM PST Thu Nov 9 2023
Except for a few patches of low clouds/fog along the inner
coastal waters, it's clear and dry. Most valleys and low lying
areas are colder than this time early Wednesday morning.
In the southern Salinas Valley a Frost Advisory until 9
am today. The Wednesday evening 00Z Oakland upper air
sounding precipitable water was 0.27", the driest it's been this
week and not far from the min moving average for early November.
Offshore gradients WMC-SFO 6.9 mb and ACV-SFO 1.6 mb, the
SFO-SAC gradient is near neutral. Sunny conditions to start the day,
with eventually increasing clouds, temps warming to 60s/lower 70s.

Partly to mostly cloudy tonight, a weakening trough of low pressure
approaching from the northwest will bring a few sprinkles or light
showers, best chances across the North Bay.
Offshore pressure gradients are also forecast to diminish tonight.

Dry weather through the weekend with slightly warming daytime
high temps. Somewhat cooler temperatures developing early next
week, not much different from the weekend, near to slightly above
mid November normals.

A long wave trough develops over the eastern Pacific next week,
strongest negative height anomalies centering near 140W-160W,
approx 1500 mi W of San Francisco. Recent global model
trends have been slowing the arrival of wet weather here to approx
Tuesday, recent GFS output overnight slowing the rain
arrival to Wednesday night to early Thursday morning; large
differences in models. Surface lows are forecast to develop
largely driven by a southward directed polar jet stream digging
the long wave trough, with atmospheric dynamics gradually
focusing more offshore at least
initially next week. A narrow window of residence time next week
allows the developing low pressure system to entrain some
subtropical moisture and potentially bring heavier rain to our
forecast area mountains and hills, however there's a southward
displacement in the heavier qpf also showing up that may be
associated with the polar and subtropical jet streams merging closer
to southern California. It's a complex forecast, stay tuned.

rmk: 10/27-28 will test record lows (1984, 1946, 1954) — 40°F SFO, mid30s RC-SJ

at 126 AM PDT Fri Oct 27 2023 by SPM
Cold overnight lows expected through Saturday morning with frost
possible North Bay valleys. Gusty offshore winds
develop this weekend with elevated fire weather conditions for
North Bay interior mountains, the East Bay Hills, eastern Santa Clara
hills, and the Santa Cruz Mountains Sat morning through Sun eve.

at 813 AM PDT Fri Oct 27 2023
It was a chilly morning for portions of the Bay Area. Temps dipped into
the low to mid 30s North Bay interior valleys, frost on windshields.
Tonight into Saturday looks to be even cooler. Across the Bay Area,
temps got colder as well with SF Downtown dipping to 48 degrees,
just a degree shy of the daily record.

Water vapor imagery early this morning revealed mid-level moisture
approaching from the west in association with upper troughing and a
weak surface low. The low should gradually fill while remaining
offshore thus keeping and light precipitation chances well away from
the region. Meanwhile a positively tilted longwave trough will drop
down closer to our area from the north. This pattern will result in
benign weather across the area today with sunshine and some passing
high clouds at times. Temperatures will be on the cool side with
highs mostly in the 60s. Winds will be light and onshore during the
afternoon and evening.

Tonight should provide a decent radiational cooling setup. Surface winds
appear light and decoupled prior to sunrise, with decent overnight
humidity recoveries. Temperatures will drop into the 30s and 40s,
with the warmest readings along the coast and bays. Hoisted a Frost
Advisory for this area from late tonight into Saturday morning.
Now that we’re getting into the cold season this is a reminder
to protect people, pets, plants and pipes from the cold.

* note WMC == Winnemucca Airport, aka Franklin Field (for a VN War combat pilot)

This weekend the forecast remains a dry offshore wind event.
The synoptic picture is consistent with troughing over the interior
west (the “Inside Slider” setup) and a backdoor front
sweeping through our area. This pattern will enhance
the pressure gradient off the Sierra as strong surface high pressure
settles over the northern Rockies. A consensus of forecast models
and their ensembles (NAM, GFS, and GEFS) suggest the offshore
pressure gradient (*WMC-SFO) will reach minus 13 to 15 mb between 06–
15Z Sunday, setting the stage for a multi-hour event. Placing
this in context, these pressure gradient values are consistent
with those previously observed during moderate to strong offshore
wind events in the Bay Area. We're now within range where the
higher resolution mesoscale models come into play, and they are
painting the same picture. Northeast winds developing initially to
our northeast early Saturday with the stronger winds pushing
southwest through the core of the Bay Area from late Saturday into
Sunday morning. These winds will transport very dry air into the
region resulting in poor Saturday morning humidity recoveries with
afternoon values likely in the 10-25 percent range for most of the
Bay Area on Sunday. This sets the stage for enhanced fire weather
conditions. Wind speeds of 35–55 mph are expected for ridgetops,
with some breeziness perhaps making it into the neighboring valleys
as well. Wind Advisory for the North Bay interior mountains, the East Bay
hills, the eastern Santa Clara hills and the Santa Cruz Mountains
from Saturday afternoon into Sunday. Fire Weather Watch remains
in effect for the mountain areas from early Saturday morning through
early Sunday evening.

Monday through Thursday a shortwave ridge aloft should set up over the region
with dry conditions and slightly warmer temperatures. A more progressive
and zonal pattern evolves by late week with shower chances possible.

FIRE WX: Offshore wind setup slated for the weekend will bring elevated
fire weather conditions to the North Bay, East Bay hills, and the
Santa Cruz Mtns. Increasing confidence in the track of an upper
low through the Great Basin will cause a surface high pressure to
build across the interior regions Saturday. Ensemble guidance
advertising the SFO-WMC pressure gradient in the -12 to -14 mb
range during the time from about noon Saturday through noon
Sunday, which is approaching the 99th percentile. This set up
promotes widespread offshore flow with high confidence. Wind gusts
along ridgetops expected to be in the 35-45 mph range. If the valleys are able to
hold on to their moisture a little longer with weaker flow near
the surface, the atmosphere would remain largely decoupled and
the highest gusts would remain in the higher terrain. The worst
case scenario would be the stability completely eroding allowing
the highest gusts to mix down into the valley floors.

at 109 AM PDT Wed Oct 25 2023

Cooler temperatures arrive today with small chances for light rain
or drizzle for the Bay Area tonight. Temperatures remain cool into
late week with breezy conditions at times. More clouds and perhaps
another shot at light rain or drizzle on Friday into Friday night.
KMUX radar has been switched to precip mode as precip associated
with a weak cold front approaches from the north. High-res CAMs
continue to show that the rain band falls apart as it enters the
North Bay this afternoon.

A low pressure system moving onshore to our north will migrate
through the Pacific Northwest region as an attendant surface cold
front drops south through the Bay Area into tonight. Moisture with
the front appears rather meager, so only small chances for very
light rain and/or drizzle are anticipated mainly from the Golden
Gate north. Amounts will be light and on the order of a few
hundredths of an inch or less for most. Breezy northwest winds will
accompany the frontal system with afternoon/evening gusts of 20-30
mph in the usually windier spots such as gaps, summits, and passes.
Coastal profilers suggest some modest deepening of the marine layer
has occurred with its ceiling around 1500 feet. This should keep low
stratus clouds in place through the mid to late morning hours,
although the may start to mix out some from north to south as the
frontal system approaches. Patchy fog should be around this morning
as well, with locally dense spots possible in the North Bay valleys.
This will be the start of a multiday cooldown, and afternoon highs
will only top out in the 60s to around 70 for most. With late night
clearing expect a chilly night with North Bay lows dipping into the
upper 30s to lower 40s. Still looks a bit too warm for frost
formation, but it's a reminder that we're getting into that time of
year. Lows across the remainder of the region should range from
around 50 along the coast to the mid to upper 40s inland.

Thursday: Cool post-frontal conditions are anticipated. Highs will generally
be in the 60s. With near-calm winds this will be a good radiational
cooling night with interior lows dipping into the upper 30s and 40s.
The urban and coastal areas will be a bit warmer with lows in the
upper 40s to lower 50s.

Friday through Sunday:
Cyclonic flow will encompass much of the western CONUS with a
longwave trough progressing through the region. A cold front will
move through the Bay Area on Friday night with little fanfare. While
previous forecasts did bring some light rain with this, the
potential appears to be waning. Can't rule out a little bit of light
rain or drizzle, but precip impacts should be minimal to none.
By Saturday strong high pressure centers
over the Northern Rockies as the pressure gradient tightens across
the Sierra. A modest push of offshore flow looks to take place on
Saturday night into Sunday morning but fire weather concerns appear
minimal given recent rainfall and moisture. Initially cool
temperatures on Friday should rise towards seasonal averages over
the weekend.

Early next week, a shortwave ridge aloft should set up over the region
bringing dry conditions and slightly warmer temperatures. However the pattern
appears a bit more unsettled towards midweek as upstream troughing
approaches from the Pacific.

at 918 AM PDT Mon Oct 16 2023 - by RWW

A weak cold front will move into far Northern California today but
no rain is forecast for the Bay Area. The main impact will be
increasing clouds from the Bay Area northward with a slight
cooling trend as onshore winds increase. By Tuesday the front will
move eastward with warm and stable high pressure building. A
noted warming and drying trend Wednesday and Thursday with
seasonably hot temperatures back into the 80s and lower 90s. The
heat will be short lived with a cooling trend back to seasonal
temperatures Friday through Sunday.

Fog is rapidly retreating and only remains around Salinas at this
time.

Otherwise an approaching front is bringing rain to far Northern
California this morning. Radar returns on the Eureka radar are
impressive but the front will rapidly fall apart for locations
south of Point Arena including Sonoma county and the rest of the
North Bay which will just see some clouds and onshore breezes
associated with the front.

By Tuesday the front will be old news with high pressure quickly
building and allowing temperatures to rebound to near and even a
few degrees above normal. Forecast focus then shifts to Weds-
Thursday heat event. Models consistent with building a 590 dm
ridge right over the Bay Area. Flow aloft will be light easterly
which will favor downslope warming near the coast and bays. Expect
a rapid warm-up Weds morning through early afternoon with this
pattern being one where models will lag reality with temps rapidly
warming into the 80 and lower 90s putting some record highs in
jeopardy. A mild night Weds followed by another hot day Thursday
with continued light easterly flow. Heat risk products are
forecast to reach the Moderate category. Will also be watching
the ocean with increased rip current and building seas for those
heading to the beaches for heat relief Weds and Thursday.

The heat event should be short lived with cooling trend by Friday
as the ridge axis shifts eastward. Dry and seasonal this weekend
with some signals for a trough by the middle of next week.

Night fog satellite imagery shows patchy low clouds hugging the
coastline early this morning. Low cloud coverage not as expansive
compared to last night and patchy fog is staying mostly confined to
the Monterey Bay region, the coastline, and N Bay valleys. Airport
sensors across the Monterey Bay have been dropping to visibilities
of a quarter mile, so a Dense Fog Advisory was just issued for
the Monterey Bay region and N Salinas Valley through 10 AM. For
the SF Bay Area, there's less of a chance for dense fog but it has
been developing near Santa Rosa and Petaluma. It's a trickier fog
forecast north of the Monterey Bay with approaching upper level
trough from the north. Will continue to monitor early obs early
this morning (satellite imagery will become increasingly harder to
monitor with increasing high level clouds). Continue to use
caution on your morning commute for sudden changes in visibility
on the roads.

Later today, a weakening cold front is also on track to approach
the North Bay this afternoon. Not expecting any rain from this
front, but it will bring slightly cooler temperatures across the
region today with highs in the mid 60s to low 70s near the coast
and upper 70s to mid 80s further inland.

Strong high pressure will start building in wake of an exiting upper
level shortwave starting Tuesday. Ensemble guidance has been
consistently advertising the 500 mb ridge strengthening to 591 dam
heights during Wed-Thurs. Under this ridge, 850 mb
temperatures are projected to reach 22-23 degC (72-73F) during
this timeframe. These are impressively warm temperatures aloft for
this time of year, exceeding the 90th percentile of 18-19 degC
according to OAK sounding climatology.

Confidence is high that another fall season
warmup will be underway starting on Tuesday, Thursday on
track to be the warmest day. Now that we're 2-3 days out from
warmup, models are getting a better handle on forecast temps. Over
the last few days, forecast highs been trending warmer with some
climate sites now flirting with breaking daily records for
Thursday (see daily records 10/18 - 20 - into 90s 1991, 2022, 2012, 1988).
Max temps in the upper 80s to mid 90s forecast for
Thursday across the interior. NBM continues to highlight a 70-90%
chance for temps above 90 degrees on Thursday for the southern
portions of the Santa Clara valley (south of Morgan Hill), the
Santa Cruz Mountains, and S Monterey County. Lower chances of
30-40% exist for the bay shoreline as well as interior East Bay
and North Bay valleys.

HeatRisk becomes elevated Wed-Thurs for areas removed from the
immediate coastline.

The heat will start to break on Friday as the upper ridge begins
to break down. WPC ensemble cluster analysis shows differing
solutions for days 6-7 on strength/position/timing of an upper
level trough, so extent of cooling into the weekend remains more
uncertain.

at 517 AM PDT Mon Oct 16 2023

Night fog satellite imagery shows increasing high clouds ahead of
an incoming, weak cold front. Not expecting any rain or wind
direction shift associated with this front as it will be
weakening.

A Batman researcher said ‘gay’ in a talk to schoolkids. When asked to censor himself, he quit.

ATLANTA — Marc Tyler Nobleman was supposed to talk to kids about the secret co-creator of Batman, with the aim of inspiring young students in suburban Atlanta’s Forsyth County to research and write.

FOTO: Marc Tyler Nobleman poses for a portrait. The author’s clash with
a Georgia school district over a mention of someone’s homosexuality in a
presentation highlights the reach of conservatives’ push for what they call
parents’ rights. Nobleman at first complied with a request not to mention that
the son of Batman’s co-creator was gay but then rebelled. He and LGBTQ+
advocates say the Forsyth County district in suburban Atlanta was wrong.
The district says schools shouldn’t engage in such discussions without
parents knowing in advance.

Originally purchased by 13-year old Robert Irwin in 1939 for 10 cents, the comic
was auctioned for $492,937 to an anonymous collector on Nov. 18, 2010.

Then the school district told him he had to cut a key point from his presentation — that the artist he helped rescue from obscurity had a gay son. Rather than acquiesce, he canceled the last of his talks.

“We’re long past the point where we should be policing people talking about who they love,” Nobleman said in a telephone interview. “And that’s what I’m hoping will happen in this community.”

State laws restricting talk of sexual orientation and gender identity in schools have proliferated in recent years, but the clash with Nobleman shows schools may be limiting such discussions even in states like Georgia that haven’t officially banned them. Some proponents of broader laws giving parents more control over schools argue they extend to discussion of sex and gender even if the statutes don’t explicitly cover them.

Eleven states ban discussion of LGBTQ+ people in at least some public schools in what are often called “Don’t say gay” laws, according to the Movement Advancement Project, an LGBTQ+ rights think tank. Five additional states require parental consent for discussion, according to the project.

Legislation restricting LGBTQ+ rights gained steam this year, but suppression is not new. A school district in New Jersey, which requires curriculums to be LGBTQ-inclusive, tried to bar a valedictorian from discussing his queer identity during a graduation speech in 2021. That year, a federal judge ordered an Indiana district to give the same privileges to a gay-straight alliance as to other extracurricular groups. Two years later, Indiana passed a law banning discussion of LGBTQ+ people in grades K-3.

Schools nationwide have been challenged on books with LGBTQ+ themes or characters, and many have removed them, including Forsyth County, which has been a battleground in the politics of schooling.

LGBTQ+ advocates say Nobleman bumped up against a moral panic fomented by conservatives seeking to roll back acceptance.

“The idea that these folks are saying that they just don’t want to talk about it at all is very disingenuous,” said Cathryn Oakley, a lawyer for the Human Rights Campaign, a leading advocacy group. “What they mean is they don’t want views other than theirs to be expressed. And they believe that that means everyone should have to hear what they believe.”

Discussion of straight people with traditional gender identities is everywhere, she said, and if all discussion of sexuality is going to be banned, Oakley said, ”then you certainly better not be teaching Romeo and Juliet.”

Nobleman, a self-described “superhero geek” who lives in the suburbs of Washington, D.C., is best known as the author of “Bill the Boy Wonder: The Secret Co-creator of Batman.” It lays out the story of Bill Finger, the long-uncredited author who helped create Batman and other comic book characters.

Finger died in obscurity in 1974, with artist Bob Kane credited as Batman’s only creator. Finger’s only child was a son, Fred Finger, who was gay and died in 1992 at age 43 of AIDS complications. Bill Finger was presumed to have no living heirs, meaning there was no one to press DC Comics to acknowledge Finger’s work.

But Nobleman discovered Fred Finger had a daughter, Athena Finger. That, he said, is a showcase moment of the presentation he estimates he has given 1,000 times at schools.

“It’s the biggest twist of the story, and it’s usually when I get the most gasps,” Nobleman said. “It’s just a totally record-scratch moment.”

Nobleman’s research helped push DC Comics into reaching a deal with Athena Finger in 2015 to acknowledge her grandfather and Kane as co-creators. That led to the documentary “Batman & Bill,” featuring Nobleman.

In Forsyth County, the author gave his first presentations at Sharon Elementary on Aug. 21. After Nobleman mentioned in his first talk that Fred Finger was gay, the principal handed him a note during his second talk that said, “Please only share the appropriate parts of the story for our elementary students.”

Forsyth County schools spokesperson Jennifer Caracciolo said that just mentioning Fred Finger was gay isn’t the problem. But she said it led to questions from students, meaning Nobleman and students might discuss sexuality without parents being warned.

In the past three years, conservatives in the 54,000-student district have tried to tamp down diversity policies and sexually explicit books they view as immoral.

The district was sued by a conservative group called the Mama Bears after banning a member of that group from reading explicit book excerpts at meetings. A federal judge ruled the policy unconstitutional.

The district was also warned by the U.S. Department of Education after pulling some books from libraries, with federal officials saying the discourse may have created a hostile environment that violated federal laws against race and sex discrimination.

Nobleman’s discussion of sexual orientation has nothing to do with the state English language arts learning standards his presentation was supposed to bolster, Caracciolo said.

“We have a responsibility to parents and to guardians that they will know what students are learning in school,” Caracciolo said.

Nobleman said he was blindsided and agreed to drop the reference to Fred Finger’s sexual orientation in remaining presentations that day, as well as in three at another school the next day. But by the morning of the third day, Nobleman started fielding questions from reporters after the principal at Sharon Elementary sent an electronic message to parents apologizing for the mention of Fred Finger’s homosexuality.

“This is not subject matter that we were aware that he was including nor content that we have approved for our students,” Principal Brian Nelson wrote. “I apologize that this took place. Action was taken to ensure that this was not included in Mr. Nobleman’s subsequent speeches and further measures will be taken to prevent situations like this in the future.”

And so, on the third day he was presenting, after a discussion with district officials, Nobleman refused to give the last two of his scheduled presentations if required to omit Finger’s sexual orientation.

Many parents have applauded Forsyth County’s actions, Caracciolo said. Cindy Martin, chair of the Mama Bears, said Nobleman should be “ashamed of himself.”

She argues that a 2022 Georgia law bans discussion of sexuality without parental consent for any minor because it gives parents “the right to direct the upbringing and the moral or religious training” of their children.

“No one has the right to talk to a child about sexuality unless it’s the parent, or the parent has given permission,” Martin said. “Mr. Nobleman did not have permission. So he went against Georgia law.”

Matt Maguire, a Sharon Elementary parent who had a daughter who attended one of Nobleman’s presentations, said he was disappointed by the message and felt the school district was being bullied by Martin and others into “reactionary” censorship.

The mere mention of the word “gay” didn’t merit claims made online by critics that Nobleman was “grooming or sexualizing children,” he said, and it ignored that some Sharon Elementary students have gay parents.

“It didn’t sit right with me. It made me feel like certain parts of our community were being kept as a dirty secret,” Maguire said. “I couldn’t imagine coming from a family with gay members and reading that apology just for saying the word ‘gay.’ ”

gay in my job.
now: young gay men have seen & know everything, via pre-packaged fantasies
from their small screens. They know what turns them on, but they develop unrealistic
expectations (and perh. pr0n addiction). No cruising, just swiping in apps; no thrill of the

An expansive high pressure ridge aloft will nose into the region from the east as low pressure
lifts towards the Pacific Northwest. This will bring a modest warming trend to inland areas
as low-level thicknesses rise (think about this) and drier and subsident conditions ensue.
Not looking dramatic, some warming along the coast with a compressed/dissipated marine
layer and readings in the 70s. This pattern shift will also result in renewed northwest flow
over the waters and a likely cooling of sea surface temperatures. Troughing looks to
re-establish along the west coast by late week with a cooling trend to follow.

comments:
. I had no business singing this as a kid but it’s okay it’s a great song
. I was singing this as a 5 year old too....had no idea...just always heard in the house lol
. this song would come on the radio, I would start singing it and my grandmother always told me to stop singing that song.
. There was so many songs we should have never listened to. But the grooves were super nasty even to our younger selves.
. I remember going to the skating rink and jamming out to this song!!! We strutted our stuff baby!!!
We were able to be kids and not have to impress anyone just enjoy life!!!
. And we danced our asses off and had a ball!
. When you were a kid that was the perfect time to hear this song we grew up and giving our time to someone else chasing money not living life
. "You know you want to slow down / you been working too hard and that's a fact..."
. When I was a kid the song was about a roller skate and a key.
. around 10-11 years old and my favorite Aunt drove me out of town to find this album so she could buy it for me for X-Mas! Love you Aunt Sue.
. This song may grow old, but it will never get tired.
. Currently Playing it on the daily { heart emoji }
. muy difícil que vuelva a surgir otra música como esta gracias a dios que yo viví al máximo esa epoca
. I'm 63 years old and it still makes me move. Those were the good days of music. Not like the trash they have today.
. Tell us about how you walked uphill to school everyday, even in the snow.
. I'm a zoomer and what most of my [crew] usually prefer is mumble rap, hip hop, R&B,
and I hate it. A lot of people today are also overweight and can't dance for too long which sucks.
. it puts a smile on my face that [all the ogs] can still here the music they grew up with it ain't dead, just needs to make its come back
. Started playing this and my entire family danced along XD And this is our first time hearing it, too! lol
. Funny that Dick Clark said that disco would never die, but rap would.
. I STILL have the vinyl record AND my Technics Turn Table!!!

comments to (sgl edit) Knock on Wood:
. Some things you never forget [...] Fall of 1979, walking from the parking lot
towards the nightclub and hearing the drumbeat of this classic from an open exit door.
. absolute belter of a song
. You have no idea what a huge song this was at the time. When they played this
at discos, the whole dance floor would pack. It still sounds great.
. Those of us that were there have every idea. That's why we're here
. Even better at roller rinks we did knock on wood the whole place shook
. lo que muchos ahora no aciertan en entender, es que en su momento nada podía
sonar mas moderno que esta canción
. tenía 15 años era imperdible en una fiesta, hoy tengo 57 años y me cautiva
de la misma forma !!! Ya que al escuchar me sigo sintiendo joven !!!
. This music always slaps so hard. I don’t understand how anyone can hate on funky
upbeat disco. Shits good, man.
. I just discovered this song today... oh my god! Brilliant!
. Yep. No Autotune back then. Either you had talent or you didn't.
. You are officially encouraged to dance freely. Anytime. Anywhere. Life is too short
not to dance when you want to.

https://reportocean.com/industry-verticals/sample-request?report_id=MR377 revealed that the global hard seltzer market was worth USD 9 billion in the year 2021. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 22.4%, reaching revenues of around USD 37.1 billion by the end of 2028. North America dominates the global hard seltzer market. However, Asia-Pacific is anticipated to register the highest growth rate.
PESTLE analysis ???
Rising Launches of New Products is Driving Market RMK: Can't go on forever
Competitive strategies such as partnerships, mergers, acquisitions, collaborations
ABV segments U5.0, 5.0-6.9, 7+
pandemic’s effects: People had less mobility. Stores were out of stock due to (disruption) in distribution channels, and to panic buying (RMK: of ALCOHOL?? Priorities, people.) Demand from on-trade channels also registered sharp decline since bars, hotels etc. were closed due to lockdown.
Porters five forces analysis
Threat of New Entrants: with low entry barriers, buyers have more options and can easily switch suppliers, increasing their bargaining power.
Bargaining Power of Suppliers: with few suppliers / unique resources or expertise, suppliers can dictate terms and prices, reducing buyer power.
Bargaining Power of Buyers: with many buyers, low switching costs / readily available alternatives, buyers can demand lower prices, better quality, or additional services.
Threat of Substitutes: numerous substitutes or evolving tech that provides alternative solutions gives buyers the upper hand.
Intensity of Competitive Rivalry: many competitors, slow industry growth, low differentiation between products may result in intense rivalry, benefiting buyers.

TastingTable.com: With all the seltzers on the markets these days, we don't understand why White Claw
is still such a big draw. It certainly isn't the taste. But if you're looking to get a quick buzz no matter
what the seltzer tastes like, this could be for you.

if you only want one or two cans, Trader Joe's has a great [feature] where anyone can simply
crack open a box and pick their favorite to buy separately. (RMK: too bad that's just on house brands)
High Noon; an easy sipper, perfect to take to the beach or a park if you're looking to get a quick buzz.
High Noon nails the citrus flavors, it falls short when it comes to the tropical.

Ready-to-drink (RTD) beverages, a category including premixed cocktails, flavored malt beverages
and hard seltzer, accounted for $10.9 billion in US sales over the past 12 months, a 7% increase
from last year, according to Nielsen IQ. Flavored malt beverages like Simply Spiked made up the
greatest share of RTD sales with $4.4 billion in US sales over the past 12 months, a 21% increase
from last year. These drinks tend to have lower alcohol content than premixed spirit-based cocktails.
Hard seltzer had $3.8 billion in sales over the past 12 months, a 14% decline compared to last year.
Spirits-based drinks accounted for a small sliver of total RTD sales in the US - $1.5 billion over the past 12 months — they are one of the greatest sources of growth with sales up 55% from a year ago, according to Nielsen.

You can charge an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch with any quality USB-A or USB-C power source and cable.
Stock iPad charging blocks are 5~18W. You will not damage your iPad by using a higher-wattage adapter.
Can use even an Apple 61 or 87W brick (and get 50 percent of battery back in half an hour). Not all 3rd party
power sources are PD compatible. NB: a USB-A “cube” doesn’t have sufficient power to charge
an iPad. You need 2 amps. iPad batts are up to 10.3 Ah! (3.7 for iPhone)
You can keep your iPad plugged in after it is fully charged without damaging your battery. Some of
what we ‘know’ from the NiCd and NiMH days is actually harmful to modern
lithium battery technology. Charge whenever you want to, for a long as you want to. No reason
to drain completely before charging (in fact, it’s a bad idea to do that on a regular basis).
Completely draining a lithium battery, even once, will kill it. The worst thing you can do is drain
the battery to 0% [actually a bit of stay-alive energy remains], then not charge it immediately
(within hours). Never leave a phone etc. unused for weeks or months without periodically
recharging it. Leave it at around 50% charged (not full, and not empty).
Batteries are consumables: their capacity starts dropping the day they come off the assembly line.
Battery life is determined primarily by full charge cycle - any combination that adds up to 100%,
such as 50% to 100% (or 30% to 80%) twice, 80% to 100% 5 times, etc. The battery will gradually
lose capacity, and is rated to remain above 80% capacity for 500 full charge cycles for an iPhone
(around 2 years for most users) ... for an iPad, 1_000 cycles.

What is a Vibram (VEE-brahm) sole?

named for inventor, the Italian mountaineer Vitale Bramani
vulcanized rubber, 1930s tech &#8212; hardened for x3m cond&#8217;s like rocks and freezing temps
a more pliable variant is made for climbing; others specialized for grip (hiking),
 light weight (running & everyday), safety (work boots in harsh ENV), or
  heat/flame resistance (firefighters)
Vibram soles are known for being especially long-lasting. Other advantages include
- Traction: rubber itself is non-slip, and the tread is deep like a tractor tire
- Comfort: rubber flexes, also cushions
- Waterproof
- Self-cleaning (and machine washable, if the uppers are up for that)

FACTOID: In 1954 the first ascent of K2 was made by an Italian team wearing boots with Vibram soles.

TO LOG: Monterey places (see pkt notes)

scratcher tickets - players may THINK they know what a winner looks like
  (and so they forbear unboxing the bar code): say 2 of 3 match in Space
  Invaders or just one word (the bonus match on pink bgnd) in crossword,
  or one magic symbol in a predominantly match game &#8212; and they toss a
  winner. Or they forget to scratch the instant Rock Spot up in the corner
  and it was hiding a $100 prize. Or they don't even bother to expose the
  game area (just unbox the barcode), yet the ticket's live when I happen along.
paper sacks from small food/drink purchases - other scavengers ignore those
  (IDK why), leaving usually just recyclables but sometimes a few bucks
  in change, or maybe a giftcard that's been spent down to single digits
  OR NOT. Also, folding $ tucked in the cellophane wrapper of a cigarette pack.
high-likelihood sites (car wash vacs, gas stn pump islands) where ppl toss
  a variety of cool stuff. Their trash, my treasure. And hotels! travelers too rushed
  to button up $5 Target promo giftcards, or $30 Kohl&#8217;s cash.
really detailed look through 'empty' public barrels (scratcher winners at
  Lawr/Poinciana 7-Eleven, and Costco RePlanet) or nasty 4yd bins ($100 at
  a BANK of all places; $20 at OM7; $20 swept from bar top at Flights;
  one of three look-alike GCs from Jamba makeline was unbroken, who'd

at 902 AM PDT Thu Jul 20 2023

High pressure flexes towards the region with warming temperatures
through Saturday. Cooling trend thereafter as upper troughing
moves into the Pacific Northwest.

at 902 AM PDT Thu Jul 20 2023

Quasi-zonal flow prevails aloft with troughing over the Gulf of
Alaska and a zonally elongated ridge extending from the Desert
Southwest to the southern Great Plains. Low stratus and patchy fog
was present this morning along the coast and bays, with stratus
penetrating into the Salinas and North Bay valleys. This is
consistent with a moderately deep marine layer being in place. In
fact, the 20.12Z KOAK sounding shows a strong low-level temperature
inversion in place, with the marine inversion depth around 1300 feet
and a temperature of 26 deg C atop the inversion layer. As such,
expect a gradual erosion of low clouds towards the coast through
late morning, with some coastal locations holding onto clouds into
the afternoon hours. A consensus of the deterministic forecast
models and their ensembles suggest rising mid level geopotential
heights later today as the upper ridge flexes into our area. This is
coupled with warming 850 mb temperatures and a warming for inland
areas. Readings this afternoon will range from the mid 90s to lower
100s for southern Monterey and San Benito Counties and for areas
bordering the Sacramento Valley. Elsewhere reading should range from
around 65 on the beaches to the 70s and 80s for the inland valleys.
By tonight expect some compression of the marine layer to occur,
with an early return of low clouds along the coast. Clouds shouldn't
reach as far down the valleys overnight, and should be quicker to
clear towards morning. Lower visibilities are possible in fog for
some coastal spots as well later tonight. Low elevation temperatures
will be in the 50s, with some warming aloft as temperatures in the
hills only drop into the 60s and 70s.

.LONG TERM... at 400 AM PDT Thu Jul 20 2023

As mentioned in the synopsis above, a heat advisory is in effect
for inland locations from the North Bay interior mountains to the
East Bay valleys and hills, the Santa Clara Valley, the eastern
Santa Clara Hills, the southern Salinas Valley, the Santa Lucia
Mountains/Los Padres NF and mountains of San Benito county from 11
am Friday to 11 pm Saturday. Closer to the bays and coast
temperatures will become a little warmer than normal for late
July, however a robust maritime cooling influence will remain,
limiting warmth along the coast and bays. Northerly, downsloping
winds and a compressed marine layer will keep the North Bay
warmest to hottest longest over the weekend, otherwise a cooling
trend redevelops across the forecast area early next week.

Global model output are consistent with forecasting the center of
the strong 500 mb high pressure system over the southern CONUS to
retrogress to AZ, NV and UT late this week. 500 mb heights and 850
mb temperatures Friday and Saturday will approach the max moving
average on long term Oakland upper air climatology in late July. A
relatively shorter lived uptick in temperatures during this time
will limit peak heating to approx max of two days, except inland
over the North Bay, the ACV-SFO pressure gradient and northerly
winds keeping downsloping and warming going approx a max of three
days. The warm core, strong 500 mb high pressure system over the
western and southern CONUS is, as is usually the case in the warm
season, longitudinally adhering to maximum surface heating under
July solar heating. The westerlies including jet stream winds
rounding the base of the closed cold core 500 mb low near the
Pacific Northwest will nudge the entire weather pattern eastward
across the CONUS early to mid next week, which includes nudging
forward the strong 500 mb high. Weak 500 mb troughing will develop
over northern California, deeper onshore winds and more of a cooler
maritime influence will ease temperatures back to near late July
normals next week, even well inland. At this time, it does not
appear any significant subtropical moisture or instability will
reach around the western periphery of the 500 mb high this weekend,
rather the mid-latitude flow will also nudge in drier columnar
precipitable waters from the west and northwest. Surface dewpoint
temperatures (water vapor) on the other hand continue to look
sufficiently elevated enough on northwest coastal winds to keep
maritime stratus and fog going next week.

Upper level trough will dig along the West Coast today and Monday,
and remain in place through through work week. Therefore, expect
a cooling trend to begin for the inland areas today, with
temperatures along the coastal areas moderating a bit. Onshore
flow will increase as well, with night and morning low clouds
returning.

Water vapor imagery shows a trough of low pressure digging along
the West Coast this morning, allowing the ridge axis to shift
over the Great Basin. It is also showing an upper level
disturbance approaching California`s Central Coast, bringing some
high level clouds to the region, which helped disrupt the marine
layer overnight. The 12z KOAK sounding shows that this upper
level moisture is all above 450 mb (approximately 23,000 ft),
with a very dry below. The sounding also shows a very squashed
marine layer, with 925 mb temperatures still hovering around 30.5
deg C (87 deg F). This allowed for one last really warm night in
the hills, with most places in the higher elevations starting
their day in the mid 70s to mid 80s. Coastal areas started quite
cool, but are already trending up to 5 degrees warmer this
morning, given the lack of a marine layer. All of that said, this
upper level trough will continue to dig along the West Coast
today, with onshore flow increasing across the region. While
coastal areas will be similar to or slightly warmer than
yesterday, inland areas will run 5 to 10 degrees cooler than
yesterday, and still be quite warm. In fact, our warmer locations
may still top 100 degrees.

Will be watching this disturbance today, as it should create some
instability for the region. However, the lack of moisture below
500 mbs will be the most limiting factor, and doubt much if
anything will materialize other than a few virga showers. Palmer

The changing pattern and movement of higher clouds looks to be
preventing much in the way of fog formation this morning. But the
forecast team is more excited about what the pattern change will
bring! While the coast will only see modest changes in temperature,
the interior areas will finally see some relief from the heat.
Sunday marks the first day of a quick cooling trend, with interior
areas shedding 5 to 10 degrees for afternoon highs, and in a few
locations, overnight lows.

As the new troughing pattern begins to deepen for the west coast,
will continue to cool into Monday.

(through Saturday)
Issued at 312 AM PDT Sun Jul 23 2023

A trend of additional cooling
is starting to reveal itself for the mid to late week.

Expect further cooling on Monday for the inland areas with Tuesday
seeing fairly similar numbers as Monday both in highs and lows. The
additional onshore flow of a short-wave trough will call for more of
that cool marine air to move inland Wednesday and Thursday. This is
setting Thursday up to be the coolest day of the week overall with
highs failing to exceed the upper 90s CWA-wide. The increased marine
influence will also help with overnight humidity recoveries, easing
some of the recent fire concerns.
