4/12/2020 11:59 PM 0.01 M M M M (Easter Sunday)Rain gauge says .01"--but it may be really just a trace-will use .01" as there were some weak radar echoes around about 1:30-2:00am this morning-Day remained mostly cloudy with a bit of mist for a very short time
4/13/2020 11:59 PM 0.08 M M M M (Monday)This should be the last day of early morning precip which ended today around 7:30am local ; the past 3 mornings have all seen early morning precip but all daily amounts have been under a tenth of an inch; at least 3 dry days are in store before another weak trough brings some light precip around Friday

8/13/2020 11:59 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M ((Thursday)Many high clouds today and also a 5-6 degree increase in high temps today with temps in the mid 90's; nites not cooling off either; still in mid 70's near obs time; El Cajon tied record for the date today for highest minimum temp at 72 degrees last reached in 2012; heat may peak the next day or two but still remaining hot through most of next week; slight possibility of mtn TRW also
8/14/2020 11:59 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M (Friday)Hottest day of the year so far; many 100 degree plus readings today but not quite at this sta (97); some desert locations even hit 120 degrees; heat wave forecast to continue into next week; some increase in TRW probability forecast for tomorrow and again by mid next week; very poor evening cool-off with temp at obs time around 80 degrees
8/15/2020 11:59 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M (Saturday)Hot again today; 96 at this sta but many 100 degree plus readings north of here along with some TRW activity mainly in RIV/SBD counties; nite time temps not cooling off either; upper 70's around obs time; maybe a little break Sunday and Monday if an eddy forms but heat expected to continue for most of next week
8/16/2020 11:59 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M (Sunday)Hot again today but a bit cooler than yesterdaty; max temp ended up at 88 at this sta; still some 100 degree plus readings further inland and north of here and a small bit of TRW activity also north and east of here; heat wave forecast to continue most of this week; Tuesday an easterly wave coupled with increased moisture may increase TRW activity possibly all the way to the coast; nites still warm with temps at obs time in the mid 70's
8/17/2020 11:59 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M (Monday)Heat continues with about a 5-7 degree increase over yesterday's max temp (93 at this sta); very little TRW activity and nites running slightly cooler than previous nites-low 70's at obs time; heat forecast to continue into next week with possible slight relief by this weekend; tomorrow shows possible increase in TRW activity
8/18/2020 11:59 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M (Tuesday)Heat continued its increase today; at one point today 30 stations had triple digit temp readings around noon; only reached 97 at this station today but El Cajon tied a record for today's date for highest max temp at 102 last reached in 1915; also set a record for today's date for highest minimum temp at 73 beating the previous record of 72 reached in 2018; some TRW activity again today but mainly in RIV and SBD counties; nite time temps still slow to cool off with temps at obs time in the mid 70's; more heat forecast for the rest of the week with an influx of moisture occurring around Friday or Saturday with maybe some slight cooling by the weekend
8/19/2020 11:59 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M (Wednesday) Not quite as hot today as yesterday with max temps 5-9 degrees cooler; still El Cajon set a record for the date for highest minimum temp at 73 besting the previous mark of 71 set in 2018; not too much TRW activity today and not much forecast for tomorrow either; some cooling to begin Friday into the weekend but also some moisture increase expected during the weekend, some monsoonal and a possible tap into moisture from a dissipating hurricane; a bit more cooling expected next week as the strong high pressure giving us the heat finally breaks down
8/20/2020 11:59 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M (Thursday)A couple of degrees hotter today; this sta reached 94; triple digit max temps were limited to RIV and SBD counties; there was some TRW activity in the county today but precip totals were no more than a quarter inch; El Cajon did tie a record for today's date for highest minimum temp at 71 last reached in 1997; forecast calling for similar conditions tomorrow with some increased moisture over the weekend from a dissipating tropical storm which might increase TRW chances if expected increased cloud deck is not too thick; night time temps about the same in the low 70's at obs time but it did reach 69 at this sta early this morning; forecast also calling for slightly cooler conditions by early next week
8/21/2020 11:59 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M (Friday)Heat continues; only a degree cooler at this sta (93) today; a few 100 degree readings in the county but most were in RIV and SBD counties again; some TRW activity in mtn areas today with some light showers moving west and dissipating during mid evening; extremely humid and uncomfortable during the evening with temps in the upper 70's to around 80 close to obs time; tomorrow forecast to be the same as moisture from the dissipating hurricane arrives with even the possibility of TRW west of the mtns if conditions set up right; temps and humidity lower later by next week but temps will still be slightly above seasonal
8/22/2020 11:59 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M (Saturday)A little less heat today; actually max temp at this sta was 89 but humidity was still quite high keeping nites quite warm; temps in the mid 70's at obs time and last nite El Cajon set a record for the date again for highest minimum temp at 76 beating the previous mark of 74 set in 1982; far fewer 100 degree plus readings today and again they were mainly up north of here; there was some TRW activity east of here that moved northwest and dissipated by early evening; lessening TRW chances as next week progresses and humidity is due to lessen a bit too; temps will still be above seasonal levels but hopefully not by much; due to moisture from a dissipating storm there are small chances for TRW activity late tonite and early Sunday morning mainly at the coast or off the coast but areas north of here seem more prone to get it than here
8/23/2020 11:59 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M (Sunday)Heat increased a bit today (93 at this sta)and humidity remained high-nites slow to cool again and El Cajon once again set a record for highest minimum temp at 73 beating the previous mark of 72 set back in 1904; tonite near obs time temp is still in mid 70's and it feels quite oppressive outside; no TRW activity in county today and only isolated activity forecast for tomorrow with a drying trend setting in after that; temps will still be warm though, probably 90's but may get some temp relief by next weekend
8/24/2020 11:59 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M (Monday)Slight cooling today; max temps dropped 3-4 degrees from yesterday(90 degrees at this sta); a warm up is expected the first part of the week but the air will be drying out and becoming less humid so even though the temp is rising, it still should be more comfortable; TRW activity is also expected to be more unlikely; nites expected to be slightly cooler too (in low 70's at obs time tonite) with high minimum temp records less likely to occur but once again El Cajon did set another high minimum temp record for today's date at 74 beating the previous record of 70 set in 2018; some slight cooling by late in the weekend
8/25/2020 11:59 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M (Tuesday)Still quite warm to hot (90 here) but lessening of humidity makes it a bit more tolerable; no sign of any TRW activity for a change; low clouds have reached here inland the past two mornings also; two more days of hot weather before a cooling trend begins on Friday and continues through the weekend when temps actually get to be slightly below normal; nights continue to be quite warm cooling only to low to mid 70's by daybreak; possible more warming may begin by the middle to end of next week;
8/26/2020 11:59 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M (Wednesday)Still very warm to hot with max temp here 91; humidity still tolerable though; another very warm to hot day forecast tomorrow before a bit of cooling sets in Friday and the weekend; could warm up early next week with an increase of moisture for mtn TRW early next week
8/27/2020 11:59 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M (Thursday)Another day of 90 degree + weather (92 here) with one more day of very warm weather before a cooling trend starts this weekend; thankfully nites and early mornings are becoming cooler with temps ending up in the upper 60's before starting their daily rise; seasonal temps forecast for next week with a little influx of moisture on Monday and Tuesday which could trigger some isolated TRW in the mtns
8/28/2020 11:59 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M (Friday) Hopefully today was the last of the very warm days for a few days anyway (reached 88 here); some cooling expected over the weekend and maybe into the first part of next week before another warm up by the end of next week; nite temps back to where they are comfortable (68 degrees at obs time); a bit of moisture may cause isolated TRW in the mtns and desert Sunday through Tuesday
8/29/2020 11:59 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M (Saturday)Cooling continues with another 3-4 degree drop in max temps (85 here); cooling trend to continue the next few days with a warming trend starting the latter half of next week; some moisture increase could trigger isolated mtn TRW Sunday but more likely Monday
8/30/2020 11:59 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M (Sunday) A pleasantly comfortable day with max temp here only reaching 84; continued pleasant temps through about Tuesday before a warming trend starts; a monsoonal moisture surge may bring possible TRW chances to the mtns and deserts tomorrow with more monsoonal activity possible by early as next Friday along with higher temps; nites and early mornings continue to be delightfully cool with temps dropping into the low 60's
8/31/2020 11:59 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M (Monday)A perfectly comfortable day with max temp only reaching 82 here with early morning temps starting out in the low 60's with some low clouds; same type of weather forecast for the next two days before a rather strong heat wave begins Thursday extending into the Labor Day weekend; temps here forecast to go over the 100 degree mark peaking around Sunday
9/1/2020 11:59 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M (Tuesday)Another seasonable day (83 here); seasonable weather expected through Thursday but a rather potent heat wave is on the way from Friday through the Labor Day weekend; inland valleys could see temps as high as 100-115 and this heat will extend to the coast also with highest temps there 90-100; hottest days are supposed to be Saturday and Sunday with some moderation in the heat expected beginning Monday; so far, nites and early mornings are pleasantly cool with temps reaching the low 60's but with higher temps expected later in the week, that will probably change too
9/2/2020 11:59 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M (Wednesday)Another pleasant day with max temp here reaching only 82 degrees; one more day of pleasant weather before the heat surge starts Friday and extends into the Labor Day weekend; Saturday and Sunday forecast to be the hottest with many 100+ degree record breaking temps possible; slight cooling may start by; Labor Day but temps will still be above normal; nites which continue to be pleasantly cool (low to mid 60's) will probably be no lower than the 70's at the peak of the heat wave
9/3/2020 11:59 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M (Thursday) Last of the really comfortable days as temps here rose 5-6 degrees from yesterday (88 here); heating up to start tomorrow with a nasty looking heat wave expected to last through the holiday weekend with Saturday and Sunday looking to be the hottest days with some valley high temps possibly nearing 110 and setting records with nights possibly being as warm as the upper 70's to around 80; then slightly cooler Monday into the middle of next week; will probably be the hottest days of this year and maybe years past; only bit of saving grace is that humidity is supposed to be low with offshore flow setting up which will increase both the temperature and the fire danger
9/4/2020 11:59 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M (Friday)More warming today; reached 91 here; the worst is yet to come tomorrow and Sunday with max temp forecasts of near 110 both days. Nites forecast to be very warm too and that has already started tonite with temps in the mid 70's at obs time; a bit of cooling may start on Monday but not much and a Santa Ana event may start as early as next Tuesday keeping temps above seasonal levels and very dry for much of the week
9/5/2020 11:59 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M (Saturday)A day for the record books-hottest day I can remember in the nearly 45 years I have lived here; max temp at this sta was 107-a 17 degree rise from yesterday and for El Cajon at 114 breaking the previous record set of 107 set in 1984 and it was the highest max temp for ANY DAY on record dating back to 1899; some desert communities reached as high as 122 today; not much if any relief for tomorrow either; some cooling to begin Monday and into Tuesday but then a Santa Ana condition sets up the middle to latter part of next week possibly bringing more triple digit max temps again before another minor cool down begins by next weekend; nite time temps tonite are also about the warmest I have ever seen with readings above 80 at obs time which will no doubt aid in giving quick rise to temps in the morning
9/6/2020 11:59 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M (Sunday)Not as bad a day max temp wise as was forecast; only reached 102 here when forecast was calling for 110+; depending which station was used, El Cajon reached either 107 or 111; even San Diego (Lindbergh Field) reached 100 today; cooling trend has started but will be felt on the coast first starting tomorrow and inland starting Tuesday; relief will be short lived as a Santa Ana condition is due to set up by midweek bringing at least 90 degree + temps starting Wednesday into next weekend; nite time temps here are about 10 degrees cooler tonite at obs time than they were last nite
9/7/2020 11:59 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M (Monday) MUCH cooler today as onshore flow developed; max temp here was only 85 some 17 degrees cooler than yesterday; cooling to continue most of Tuesday but a moderate Santa Ana is setting up for late Tuesday into Wednesday; slow warming from the latter part of the week into the weekend as the Santa Ana weakens; nite time temps are finally back into the upper 60's

9/10/2020 11:59 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M (Thursday)More slight warming today, 3-4 degrees (88 here); temps held down by smoke layer from fires; warming expected to continue and peak next Monday or Tuesday before cooling begins midway through next week; nite time temps still pleasant 68 degrees at obs time
