Comment On 500 mb Heights This Morning


Plot of SPC 500 mb analysis above is from 12 UTC this morning. The 500 mb heights over most of the far west U.S. are at 5940 m and higher. A quick look at the sounding climatology page at SPC shows many of these heights to be near or at record levels for the entire period of sounding records.

Santa Ana winds are blowing already in southern California, setting up a critical fire weather situation.  Temperatures are expected to be in the 90s during tonight's first game of the World Series at Los Angeles.
