The Glades dropping to 37.6 overnight. A much calmer night with minimal mixing. Models, including 3km nam did poor with indications temps would fall as much, GFS somewhat better. Generally 4-8 under modeled dewpoint if calm winds, clear skies rule in these coldest pockets. 

At 6:20am, temp was 39° at The Glades while 59° at Keysers Ridge

Temp profile this afternoon + dewpoints

 

The Glades overnight. Easy to tell there was plenty of air mixing at times overnight. Light SE breezes at times.  Temp fell to 41 by 11pm overnight, then a rise to 51 by 1am, back to 43, back to 50 to a calm period before dawn allowing for the temp to fall back to 40. Now, Bittinger 2nw Valley being more protected, did not see the mixing and did not see the rapid falls and rises. It also  doesn’t cool as rapidly as the bog in prime conditions.

Mostly sunny to start with some valley fog again. Quickly burning off and temps rising rapidly. At 1pm I recorded my warmest temp of the year. A rise, fall then almost like a brief heat burst a quick rise and then storms broke loose and all afternoon was spent in the 70s. Locations that saw the heaviest rain went into the 60s awhile this afternoon.

Temp profile this afternoon and heat index from 2 different times, and it was a little higher than pictured a few hours earlier. With today being my hottest recorded day year to date, it was short lived.

Radar, radar estimates putting out 3″ of rain near Thomas/Davis this afternoon. Given the nature of the slow moving drenchers and the fact Tucker Landfill had 2.3, Davis USGS gauge at 1″, Canaan Heights at 0.0″, 3″ amounts were highly possible.
