Temperatures Saturday afternoon were around 70 degrees from ocean beaches through inland valleys. Today will be a repeat with clear skies but temperatures some 10 degrees warmer with easterly winds. The winds will reach coastal areas and bring highs there near 80 degrees.
After nice days, we’ll see clouds and moist air increase from off the ocean midweek. Cooler and a bit damp weather is on the horizon.
The coast was absolutely gorgeous Saturday, with temperatures near 70 degrees. Flocks of geese headed southward under blue skies.
A funny thing: I was working in the garage with the door open, enjoying the sunshine and hearing the ocean roar, when two woolly bear caterpillars marched in. They seem to be everywhere on the Long Beach Peninsula. I gently picked them up and placed them in a grassy area outside. About 10 minutes later they reappeared. I caught myself laughing up a storm.
