| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A strong upper level ridge settled over the region from October 23-25, 2017, before weakening slowly through the 27th. High pressure over the Great Basin brought weak to moderate Santa Winds that contributed dry air and compressional warming. Afternoon high temperatures over the coast and valleys soared past the century mark on the 23rd, 24th and 25th, breaking numerous records. Overnight temperatures in some wind prone spots failed to drop below 80 degrees. The San Diego Unified School District was hit hard, with 85 schools resorting to early releases on the 23rd, 24th, and 25th. The 108 degrees reported at Miramar Marine Air Station was the hottest temperature recorded so late in the year at any location other than RAWS sites. On October 24th, record highs and extremes occurred when Vista and Poway both peaked at 107, and 106 occurred at Oceanside Airport. Other readings included 105 at El Cajon and 105 at Huntington Beach, 106 at Fullerton and John Wayne Airports. |
