7:35am: Today's low of 28.9°F
is the lowest temperature recorded in 2003 and the lowest since a 28.8°F
on February 2nd, 2002, which occurred a couple of days after the five year
low of 25.4°F on January 31, 2002.
Temperatures will warm some from the relatively
frigid temperatures of the past couple of days, as we
experience offshore flow once again in the
Temecula Valley through tonight. A storm arriving Monday night or Tuesday
morning is now predicted to contain significant moisture; up to one inch
of rainfall in the Temecula Valley is currently expected, mostly through
Wednesday morning. Another storm is lined up after that one; that front is
predicted to arrive on Friday night or Saturday morning.

9:24am: The Press-Enterprise published
this article about me today in
their Southwest County Edition. Unfortunately, registration is required to
read it on the web, but there is no cost to do so.
6:04am: I fielded interviews
from both the Press-Enterprise and The Californian yesterday and stories
may be appearing this morning.
December 17, 2003:
The Santa Ana winds have moderated overnight
in the Temecula Valley
but are still possible today and tomorrow, especially in the morning.
Top gusts in Temecula were 38 mph at noon yesterday. Murrieta experienced winds
up to 20 mph last night, but they were generally from the northwest.
High pressure over eastern Utah that has caused the easterly winds should
start to fade today, and we should see increasing clouds and milder temperatures
into the weekend.
Today:
Mostly sunny, east breezes possible, afternoon breezes from the west,
high near 73°F.
Predicted air quality is moderate,
AQI:
59 (courtesy of the SCAQMD).

December 16, 2003:
Santa Ana winds blew all night through southern
Temecula last night, reaching 35 mph at times, but spared western Murrieta,
which experienced very different weather overnight with breezes from the
northwest and a colder air mass. The low in Temecula was just 54°F,
in Murrieta it plunged down to 38°F. Wrong way winds are with us another
couple of days, with strong winds and warm weather today. Some high clouds
are predicted into the weekend as the winds subside.

December 15, 2003:
Another weak storm has past, again leaving very
little measurable rain in the Temecula Valley. The combination of surface
level high pressure over the great basin and upper level high pressure will
warm things up over the next couple of days and may lead to Santa Ana winds
in the Temecula Valley, especially on Tuesday. By Wednesday, clouds are
predicted again as an upper level low moves by to the north.

December 6, 2003:
Nearly all of the email links on this web site have
been converted to a feedback page. This was unfortunately necessary because
the email addresses were being collected by automated web crawlers and sold
to spammers. So, now and in the future, emailing by clicking on site links will
involve filling out a form, which I hope will be very easy to use.
Tonight the first of several weak low pressure systems expected over the
next week moves through the region. The result will be a chance of scattered
showers, mainly Sunday morning. Less than 1/10 of an inch of measurable
rain is expected. After Sunday, a couple day break is predicted, and the next
weak storm moves through on Wednesday. Currently no rain is expected from
that one, but that could change.

The anemometer (wind sensor) was installed in
Murrieta yesterday afternoon, and that concludes the weather instrumentation
for that site. The official site launch will be sometime next week.
Weak offshore flow continues in the region,
so Santa Ana winds are again possible today in the Temecula Valley.
Two more sunny days, then a storm approaches. There is a 30% chance of showers
predicted for Sunday. The early part of next week is expected to be mild
and dry.

December 1, 2003:
A low pressure system moving by is responsible
for the clouds. High pressure building should force the clouds out by tomorrow,
and the next few days should be fair and mild in the Temecula Valley.
Another low pressure system is due next weekend in the region, but so far
only cloud cover and cooling is predicted.

Something is wrong with data flowing from
Murrieta this morning. Hopefully it's just connectivity.
Happy Thanksgiving!
The Santa Ana winds have started overnight,
even in the Temecula Valley, with gusts up to 23mph already this morning.

November 26, 2003:
A warming trend is underway, thanks to
building high pressure aloft and surface level high pressure in the
Great Basin area. Thanksgiving, as well as Friday, Saturday and Sunday,
should be warmer, with high temperatures in the 70's and possibly 80's
expected in the Temecula Valley. Offshore winds are predicted
tonight through Friday night.

November 25, 2003:
A combination of surface high pressure over the
Great Basin and strengthening high pressure aloft will bring warmer days
and breezy or windy conditions throughout the rest of the week. Cool today,
but high temperatures are predicted to warm into the 70's in the Temecula
Valley for Thanksgiving Day and around 80°F the day after.
High pressure is expected to weaken somewhat into the weekend, bringing
high temperatures back down into the 70's.

Temperatures dropped to near freezing overnight
but there was no frost to be found this morning, at least not in the
Redhawk area. Offshore flow should be diminishing today as surface level
high pressure over the Great Basin exits to the east. The Temecula Valley
should fall back into fair conditions through Thanksgiving and the weekend,
with below normal high temperatures expected.

November 23, 2003:
The Temecula weather station console was replaced
this morning with an Ultimeter 2100. There's nothing wrong with the older
Ultimeter 2000, which will likely become the focal point of another local
WeatherCurrents site sometime next year
(sites are now in the planning stage for Menifee, French Valley,
Wildomar, Fallbrook, Lake Elsinore and Hemet), but the 2100 offers slightly
more functionality, mainly in the form of an additional serial port. The
Murrieta weather station console is an Ultimeter 2000.
The official launch of WeatherCurrents.com's Murrieta pages will most
likely be the second week of December. The anemometer (wind speed and direction
sensor) is the only weather instrument not operating yet.
Web site design is in progress.
Offshore flow continues to dominate the local forecast, although the
Santa Ana winds expected will be more of
a breeze in the Temecula Valley, and should be most prevalent after midnight
and before noon, then the usual westerly breezes should flow.
Warmer today, but temperatures may fade a little towards midweek as a low
pressure system passes by. Frost conditions may be possible tonight.
Today:
Mostly sunny, northeast winds possible,
high near 69°F.

I've placed a section on the left hand side of
the main page which will contain the current temperature reading of all
nearby weather stations, which now includes Murrieta and soon will include
more locations. Ultimately these will also be linked to the individual site
pages. There will be improvements in layout to the Temecula pages coming up.
The main front of the storm has past early this
morning, but showers will linger across the Temecula Valley today, especially
this morning. Rainfall from this latest storm so far is 0.27". High pressure
is predicted to build over the region Monday and Tuesday, and should lead to
warmer days through Wednesday.

It's taken quite a while to accomplish, but
weather data capture from Murrieta, WeatherCurrents' second site, began
yesterday evening. The installation isn't complete; rain and wind data are
still to come. Temperature, humidity, and pressure are currently being
recorded. For now, the current temperature in Murrieta will be available
on the left hand side of this page. Sometime in the next two weeks, the
Murrieta pages should finally appear on the WeatherCurrents.com site.
A cold front moves through tonight, bringing with the the threat of more
showers into Sunday. Rainfall totals are expected to be less than quarter of
an inch in the Temecula Valley. The weather is predicted to be fair into
the week after the storm, with sunny skies (for the most part) and warmer
temperatures

More showers after midnight have brought the totals
from yesterday's storm up to just over 3/4 of an inch. The Temecula Valley
should dry out from here, with just a small chance of rain Saturday night

Fire's first day have been contributed.
More than half an inch of rain is on the ground
in the Temecula Valley, and more is possible through tonight as showers
continue. A couple of dry days are predicted tomorrow and Friday, then
clouds are expected to move back in Saturday and Sunday for a slight chance
of showers. Warmer weather and sunshine returns next week.

November 1, 2003:
October, 2003 is going to be a month we're going
to remember for a while, after it culminated in some of the worst local fires
ever experienced. Surprisingly enough, although it was an unusually hot month,
October, 1999 was even a little warmer (although that's largely because the
last three days of this past October were so cool). The fires were preceded
by an amazing string of hot days that helped set the stage for them, including
the latest 100 degree day in
TemeculaWeather.com's five year history, October 22nd. I am truly sorry for
those family and friends who have had loved ones perish in the fires, and I
wish those who lost their homes the best of luck in rebuilding.
With the precipitation today, I've noticed a bug in the Hourly Summary page,
which I'll attend to at the soonest opportunity
Some welcome rain has already fallen this morning,
and the Temecula Valley may receive more today and again on Monday. The entire
week is predicted to be cool with high temperatures not getting out of the
60's and intermittently cloudy conditions.

Mostly cloudy, scattered showers (50% chance),

October 31, 2003:
Happy Halloween! The weather has turned around
in a hurry from
hot, dry and windy to cool and cloudy, with a chance of rain. Hopefully the
better conditions will continue to aid those fighting the fires to the south
and north. Rain is likely tonight, and may soak trick-or-treaters. More on
that later in the day. Rain is also likely Saturday, and possible again on
Monday.

After weeks of fall heat, cumulating in a
terrible, tragic fire season, the weather is changing. Yesterday's cool
temperatures will be even cooler today, with drizzle possible due a deep
marine layer. There is a chance of showers through Saturday, as high

8:38am: I've posted two new pictures
and the latest Mountain Fire story updates.
I've discovered another set of fire pictures that
was sent to me Sunday evening in an email box I no longer regularly use. One
of those pictures will make it onto the site today. This set was taken more
than an hour earlier than the others, and show a much smaller fire footprint.
Smoke, ash and bad air quality will be the predominant conditions today
as fallout from the devastating fires in Southern California continues.
The weather is predicted to get dramatically cooler, with highs in the low 80's
today, going all the way down ino the 60's on Friday. The Temecula Valley
may even get some drizzle Thursday and Friday.

10:57am: Full containment of the
Mountain Fire occurred this morning, according to the City of Temecula.
Thirty-one homes are reported destroyed.
9:05am: The Mountain Fire page has
been updated with links to the latest Californian newspaper articles. Other
news to follow as it becomes available.
Yesterday was by far the busiest day in
TemeculaWeather.com history as we had over 2000 visitors make over 5500
page views. At many points in the day more than 100 people were active on
the site. Most of them came seeking information on the Mountain Fire in
the northeastern part of the Temecula Valley, which was not well covered by
the news media. I'll continue to post articles of interest and new information
today.
Smoke from the fires will continue to be a problem
today, but a cooling trend has begun which should help the firefighters tame
all of the wildfires.
High temperatures should be in the upper 80's today in the Temecula Valley,
falling to only 70°F by Friday under cloudy skies. Onshore flow will
be increasing and we could see fog in the inland valleys by Wednesday night.
Today:
Sunny with smoke, afternoon breeze,

11:11am:The City of Temecula link now
works, apologies for that. That's the second time this morning I've blown a
link.
10:59am:The City of Temecula is
posting fire information, including evacuated
areas. I've posted one new photo, from Glen Oaks Hills last night.
9:27 am: I've received photos of
our local fire, and have posted a story. Any
other updated information or photos would be appreciated, please
submit them.
A fire in the eastern part of the Temecula
Valley, coupled with fires in San Diego and San Bernardino counties, will
bring another day of bad air quality to the Temecula Valley. Many homes and
other structures have unfortunately been lost in these fires. The Santa Ana
conditions should calm later today, and a cooling trend will begin which
will take temperatures all the way down into the 70's by Thursday and should
aid the firefighters attempting to control the wildfires.

October 26, 2003:
The Temecula Valley is getting breeze from the
east, but may not experience the Santa Ana winds of other areas in the region.
There was smoke from the Grand Prix fire yesterday afternoon and evening, and
other fires are burning out of control in San Diego county, so there may be
more smoke over the valley today. Expect the heat to continue for the next
couple of days before a dramatic cooling trend is expected, one that is
predicted take local high temperatures down into the mid-70's by Halloween.

The combination of strong upper level high
pressure and surface level high pressure over the Great Basin should
continue the most extended period of fall heat in five years of
TemeculaWeather.com
beyond the coming weekend. More triple digit days may be in the offing, and
santa ana winds are predicted as well, so expect very dry weather and
possibly gusty winds in the Temecula Valley, along with near-record heat.
Conditions aren't expected to cool much until the middle of next week.

The Temecula Valley should get a break from
triple digit heat, at least until the weekend. A low pressure system passing
by to the north should bring temperatures down today. Weak offshore flow
begins influencing the local weather on Friday, and may bring wrong way winds
to the region through Monday. Temperatures are predicted to be hot again
by Saturday.

October 22, 2003:
High pressure should weaken a little over the
next couple of days and bring a welcome break from the hot autumn weather
we've been having. Temperatures are predicted to challenge triple digits
again today, but Thursday through Saturday look better, with temperatures
dropping off to around 90°F. Offshore winds are expected to develop
later this weekend, however, and should bring back a lot of the heat we've been
experiencing.

October 21, 2003:
9:20 pm: Yesterday's missing high is
reported by the weather station that feeds this web site as
102°F (it doesn't have tenths of a degree precision in that mode).
Today's high was 101.5°F. Both days were scorching!
1:28pm: The hard drive in the capture
machine was replaced last night, while another machine took over capture
duties for the interim. As of 8:30am this morning, the capture machine
resumed its normal duties, with new hard drive. Due to all the work, I
was unable to get a forecast out today.
Yesterday's high was likely over 100°F. I'll report the actual high
reading for yesterday from the weather station tonight; I have to retrieve
it from the display. A second weather station I currently run in parallel
for testing (the major difference is that the thermometer is in the shade
but unshielded) reported a high of 107°F yesterday. Note that on hot days
the difference between the shielded and unshielded equipment can be as much
as 8°F (the unshielded equipment always registers higher in the afternoon).
October 20, 2003:
10:25am: Looks like the hard disk
on the capture machine is giving trouble again. I unfortunately didn't have
enough time to complete replacing it this weekend, and as a result
readings from 10:16am may be the last until later tonight, when I will make
sure it's replaced this time.
More hot weather is expected today with
triple digit heat predicted. For the curious, the latest 100°F day of the
fall season was October 21, 1999. Strong high pressure is
predicted to break down in a couple of days, and cooling will ensue. Offshore
winds are possible next weekend.
Today:
Mostly sunny and hot, afternoon breeze,
high near 100°F.
Predicted air quality is moderate,
