Looks like the max temp yesterday was 98°f, pressure was 29.8 or so, winds were out of the south or south-south west.


There are no reported winds at that airport and I've never, ever seen
the winds there be the same as in the valley. If you are looking at
temps and wind directions from the sacramento area (which is what you
get on weather.com, etc) you can throw those in the round file. We're
always a bit cooler than Sac and the winds could never be the same
because there is a foothill range between the two and a 1000 foot
elevation difference. You guys on this board are as bad as the people
on the news with wild &*($ guesses that are useless.


Yes, almost as bad as people who say that all aircraft engines sputter.
