Interesting no rain fell at SAC or SMF. Thunderstorm seemed to formed over sacramento area out of nowhere and cells moved to the N or NNE. No surprise here with this "summer weather" heatwave in October we have been having which seems to promote these things.

4/28/2016 7:00 AM 0.01 M M M M It thundered for like 2 or 3 hrs yesterday aft-evening.upper low crossed over us during the aft causing clouds-rain-thunderstorms to change directions. The SE of rancho cordova thunderstorm complex started creeping our direction got .005" from that later the sac thunderstorm complex formed, straddled the american river towards us (got an additonal.005") later to move south. News reports indicated over 700 lightning strikes. One lightning strike was only about 3 or 4 blocks away from us. We were kinda on the edge of these storms that delivered torrential rains-hail if you were right under them.(over 1" of precip in parts of sac) At 5:35pm SMF was 70F vs 57F here and 54F at mather.

Data logger has a lag so perhaps the change was more instantaneous. The temp changed little during this "sea breeze front". This "front" crossed over the s. part of Carmichael at 6:09pm and reached the other side of Carmichael (ne side) at 6:44pm (per: dp change), Roseville 7:30pm,.

Its been a hot Summer, with 22 days of 100 degree weather compared to an average of 14 days for the whole Summer (yes our average was 13 days through 1990s and 2000s but the last couple of yrs was hot so the average went up to 14 now) By the way back in the old days...in the 1970s the average number of 100 degree days per yr was around 11.
