The June Gloom
(Visible Satellite Image of the "Catalina Eddy")From the beaches east to the mountains the southland is sock in with low clouds...fog and even some drizzle Wednesday.
The pattern is the result of the "Catalina Eddy".
This feature will circulate moist air toward the coast over cool waters.
The moist air will cool and condense below the inversion layer and will form Status clouds.

Many times during the months of May and especially during the month of June... this pattern will be stubborn and hold for several consecutive days.
This will result in a pattern of low clouds and fog that never burn off (even during the afternoon hours). This is pattern is often referred to as the "June Gloom".
