Amazing skies in the Southland on my very first day of full retirement.
Overcast cirrus and broken altocumulus dominated the skies north of the Catalina Mountains. Weak sunlight creates a subdued landscape against gray clouds.
Temperature was 54F @ 3570 feet elevation. Normal average temperature this time of day (9:15AM) should be closer to 65F. Rare rainstorm expected here in 60 hours with maximum temperatures barely reaching 50F (18F below normal)! The NWS indicates that it might be a 1:10 to 1:30 year event.

We were on the road early for our hike today, anticipating a lot of people in the mountains wanting to view the Alpine Larches which are peaking right now. The double bonus was seeing these sunlit clouds from the back lane before we left. They look a bit terrifying, but I don't think they were storm clouds...
