Live shooting conditions for California Tactical Academy (California, USA): sustained wind speed and direction, gust speed, air temperature, computed dewpoint, relative humidity, station pressure, visibility, and computed density altitude in feet and metres. Wind aloft at 80 m, CAPE / lifted index, and air-quality (PM2.5, PM10, UV) are surfaced when the upstream model exposes them at this grid point. Updated every 15 minutes from Open-Meteo.com (CC BY 4.0).
Latest reading (cached, ~58391 min ago): wind 21 km/h WSW · gust 23 km/h · temp 34°C · DA 3408 ft · band OK · score 72/100.
Coordinates: 34.4396, -118.7355. Elevation: 317 m.
This range sits in the subtropical band — expect warm baseline temperatures, summer-dominant convective rainfall, and limited daylight variation through the year. at moderate elevation, density altitude commonly runs 1,000–3,000 ft above the geometric figure on warm afternoons; check the live DA value before zeroing long-range. The 24-hour score strip and the tomorrow summary read against the SSDI rubric tuned for outdoor rifle and target archery — pistol, rimfire, and shotgun shooters can read the resulting band one step more lenient.
Each range is classified on a 5-band scale (OPTIMAL, GOOD, OK, MARGINAL, POOR) against a fixed rubric tuned for outdoor rifle and archery practice. The page also surfaces a 24-hour forward-looking score strip rolling from now through the next day, a tomorrow summary with peak hour and best contiguous daylight window, and a 7-day daily outlook when available. See methodology for the exact rubric weights.
This page reports live wind speed and direction, gust speed, temperature, dewpoint, relative humidity, station pressure, visibility, and computed density altitude for California Tactical Academy in California, USA. Conditions are refreshed every 15 minutes from Open-Meteo.com and classified on a 0–100 shootability score (OPTIMAL, GOOD, OK, MARGINAL, POOR) against the SSDI atmospherics rubric.
The 24-hour forward-looking score strip and the tomorrow summary identify the highest-scoring daylight hour and the longest contiguous "best window" of daylight hours scoring GOOD or better. Use the peak hour to plan a session and the best window to plan a longer block.
Density altitude is computed from the live station pressure and temperature at the range's reported elevation of 317 m, using the ICAO precise barometric formula. The value is shown in both feet and metres and updates with every weather refresh.
All atmospheric values on this page are pulled from Open-Meteo.com (CC BY 4.0), the same source used across the SSDI atmospherics directory. Convective indicators (CAPE, lifted index), wind aloft at 80 m, air quality, and the WMO weather code are all fetched in the same call and surfaced where relevant.
Live weather is cached for 15 minutes per range with stale-while-revalidate. The 24-hour forecast strip, tomorrow summary, and 7-day outlook update on the same cadence. The page itself is statically served — only the embedded conditions panel hits the cache.
This page combines the readings used in its shooting-conditions score: a 0-100 value and a colour-coded 5-band classification (OPTIMAL, GOOD, OK, MARGINAL, POOR) for now, the rolling 24 hours, and tomorrow. The underlying data comes from Open-Meteo and does not provide no claim of more accurate observations or forecasts than a national weather service. The summary adds density altitude in feet and metres at the range's verified elevation using the ICAO precise barometric formula, gust spread, wind aloft at 80 m and CAPE / lifted index where the model exposes them, and defined severe-weather handling. The "best window" planner identifies the longest contiguous block of daylight hours scoring GOOD or better. A model grid cell is not a wind meter on the line — verify before any shot.
