It again is double duty for the Miami Heat scouting and video staff, working with a Plan A and a Plan B for the second consecutive playoff series.In the first round, it meant preparing for the Milwaukee Bucks both with and without Giannis Antetokounmpo, who played 2 1/2 of the five games in the Heat’s 4-1 series win.Having moved on from that challenge, it now is the sprained left ankle of New York Knicks forward Julius Randle that has Heat coach Erik Spoelstra and his staff working with dual game plans for the best-of-seven Eastern Conference semifinal series.Randle initially injured the ankle in the Knicks’ March 29 home victory over the Heat, missing the balance of the regular season. The All-Star forward aggravated the injury as the Knicks closed out the Cleveland Cavaliers 4-1 on Wednesday night. He is listed as questionable for Sunday.“You have to prepare for both, if he’s available or not available,” Spoelstra said ahead of Sunday’s Game 1 a...

NWS says San Diego is in the peak of marine layer season, but why?

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:26:19 GMT

SAN DIEGO -- If you've noticed an increase in low hanging clouds or lingering fog in San Diego County's coastal areas recently, there's a reason why.The National Weather Service says the region is in the peak of marine layer season. The question is: what creates these hazy weather patterns in the spring?The answer is as simple as this -- cold water. Coastal fog contributes to what NWS calls ‘Gray-pril’ Air temperature normally decreases with height, according to weather officials. Due to the cold Pacific Ocean in the spring months, however, NWS says the air temperature in coastal areas increases with height instead. NWS says this results in a temperature inversion. The air below that inversion is called the marine layer, which is cooled to the point at which clouds form, weather officials explained. NWS shared this image to explain the marine layer.To explain this phenomenon further -- As the San Diego region progresses towards summer months, the ocean temperature gradually rises ...
