After weeks of clear skies, warm (sometimes record setting) temperatures, and low humidities, the weather is changing. This morning we awoke to a classic “red sky in the morning” sunrise, and radar shows showers off-shore.

Today’s Tribune had a great article on the “100 year” flood of 1969. Today, Sunday, is the 40th anniversary of that flood. You can read more about it on the Trib’s website here and some eyewitness commentary by Bill Morem here.

My parents spied this white lizard on a rosebush trunk in their garden. I’ve never seen one before.

With highs forecasted from 75-85, and relative humidities as low as the teens or high twenties, it;s going to be another desert-like day in SLO today. The previous record for January 13 (yesterday) was 79 degrees. Yesterday the airport broke that with 86, and here at SLOweather, it reached 84.

The record for today, January 14, is 80° F in 1975. It’s likely we’ll see that record broken today.
