Hot September

Temperatures in Utah, Colorado, and Wyoming have been hot considering we are in September now. Below shows that the 2-m air temperature in the HRRR analysis for yesterday afternoon is above the 95th percentile temperature by several degrees.

My weather station in Spanish Fork registered a 100 degree temperature on Labor Day during our backyard BBQ. It was hot. Below shows the September 1-3 temperatures since 2013. This has been a warmer start to September than we are used to. Over the next week we will begin to cool down as the upper-level ridge moves further east. Then those fall temperatures will start to creep in.

San Francisco Fog Tracker

The San Francisco Chronicle recently published a "Bay Area Fog Tracker" web page. It is a useful tool for watching fog and clouds in the bay area, and it will be fun to look at when I start working in the area. I was credited with helping the developers understand how to access and use the GOES-West data.
