Really hoping we can wringe a good wetting rain out of this. I’m not overly optimistic about the remainder of the wet season

Snapshot from GOES satellite of bomb cyclone and atmospheric river over northeastern Pacific today.

Remarkable view of #BombCyclone west of Oregon & Washington and associated #AtmosphericRiver west of California this PM. Fortunately, the strongest winds will remain well offshore, but very heavy rainfall is likely across portions of northern CA into weekend. #CAwx #ORwx #WAwx

‼️ SoCal rain ⁉️

Confidence is increasing that Southern California will see it's first notable rain (atmospheric river??) of the wet season early next week. A frontal boundary will provide lift to tap into ample moisture aloft. Deep warm cloud processes will result in efficient rain rates. #cawx

You’re the man, thank you! Glad they are moving to a new core for RRFSv2, it has been clear RRFSv1 is not fit for operational use (yet)

Any word on what will replace the RAP?

Fire Index Ratings per regime. Pacific Ridge is WR4. Note the increased fire potential across SoCal.

Feast or Famine in SoCal with the upcoming Pacific Ridge weather regime. This pattern tends to promote inside sliders which are often on the drier side for California. Surface high pressure behind these systems can create #SantaAna & #Diablo winds.

Monitoring for now. #cawx

I’m starting to wonder if that trough is a smoke screen for the one after it… EC/AIFS/CMC all suggesting that.

That being said the GFS has been king recently and it shows nothing of the sort.

Hello all! I am an operational meteorologist currently based out of San Diego. I work in the utility sector and primarily focus on inclement weather.

I originally studied and storm chased in the Mid-Atlantic. Look forward to weather analysis, occasional chasing, and subseasonal musings here!
