Recent years show the atmosphere can deliver the coldest air sooner or later than the average: A bitterly cold outbreak in early March 2019 was the coldest of the season in Great Falls, Montana ...
Freezing levels in Southern California will fall to the lowest point seen this year on Thursday and Friday, bringing winter-like temperatures and snow as low as 3,000 feet.
The ENSO cycle has a huge effect on rainfall and snowfall patterns in California, especially during the winter and spring seasons. During the El Niño phase, the jet stream is located south through California, allowing for warmer temperatures and more heavy rains to occur, particularly in the southern portions of the state.
"The storm will push freezing levels to their lowest point of the entire cold weather season," Clark explained. "That means it will snow over the passes in Southern California." The existing ...
Average high temperatures are in the lower 80's F (26-28 C) with overnight lows in the lower 60's F (15-17 C). During this season, there is essentially no rainfall, and both July and August average less than 0.05 of an inch (1.27 mm) of monthly precipitation. The winter wet season normally runs from November through April.
Each calendar year includes parts of two winters. This causes ambiguity in associating a winter with a particular year, e.g. "Winter 2018". Solutions for this problem include naming both years, e.g. "Winter 18/19", or settling on the year the season starts in or on the year most of its days belong to, which is the later year for most definitions.
The coldest storm of the season made its entrance in Southern California on Tuesday, dumping sleet and snow in high mountain areas.
Since the track of most hurricanes is well to the south of San Diego, and the cold California Current (normally sea temperatures are only in the upper 60's F off the CA coast) keeps ocean water significantly colder than in the Gulf of Mexico and western Atlantic (often sea temperatures over 82 F), tropical cyclones rarely impact San Diego.
