.Looking down into the Sea this morning I can see that there was some thunderbumper activity over in Sonora late yesterday afternoon and evening but none of the cells reached the coast. There is a northeast flow over the area and this carried all of the moisture to the north into Arizona and New Mexico.
The Sea this morning looks to be pretty much cloud free.
Looking south to the Riviera: Since early this morning there has been a number of cells build between Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta. One strong cell is directly over Mazatlan right now. It looks like this stretch has getting a good deal of rain again for the past 24 hours. Puerto Vallarta has had almost 5 inches of rain in the past 24 hours.
South to Acapulco it does not look like any thunderbumpers developed during the night however most of the area has cloud cover with perhaps a few sprinkles here and there this morning.
So with the exception of the northern Riviera things have been relatively quiet in our hood for the past 24 hours.
Along 10 north, the ITCZ is showing only moderate convection this morning and when I look out to Hawaii it is mostly clear of any clouds with the exception of a few whispys.
Again this morning there is nothing cooking in our tropical kitchen and the good folks at the National Hurricane Center are saying the next 48 hours look about the same.
About the only thing of note is the SST (Sea Surface Temperature) chart is showing some cooling in the basin. They should continue to slowly cool as we move into Fall.
OK, that’s it for our hood so looking north now to the west coast of America where that cold low that moved down from the Gulf of Alaska looks like it has ended summer along the west coast. Daytime highs are all forecast to be 10-17 degrees cooler today from yesterday.
It is currently raining in Washington and Oregon and the rain will dip down into northern California probably tomorrow afternoon. By Thursday the southland could see some light rain or drizzle.
Over in the southwest there is plenty of moisture moving up from Mexico today to increase the chances of some thunderbumper activity around the Tucson area this afternoon. However as that cold Pacific low moves through the area starting tomorrow this should end the thunderbumper chances into next week.
Back down here today we can expect more of the same weather we had yesterday. In general moderate southerlies in the northern Sea however it looks like they could see some brisk westerly winds in the afternoon at the northern end of La Bay. Moderate Northeasterly flow in the central Sea and the winds in the southern Sea will have a southwest flavor.
