Indeed but no surprise here because we’re having the heat now followed by rain potential! That’s what happened in March and look what April brought. So let’s see how this next situation evolves especially with the warming of the Pacific continuing and the emergence of El Niño.

Wednesday June 3, 2026, 11:20 AM: Say hello to “Amanda” our first named system of Eastern Pacific Hurricane Season 2026. She will not affect the Southwest US at all. This is just the start of hurricane season more are coming in the upcoming 6 weeks especially with the ongoing warming of the Pacific and the El Niño pattern and more significant warmth in the equatorial Pacific taking center stage by late August 2026. #CAwx #hurricaneseason

Thursday February 12, 2026, 11:42 AM: A powerful Siberian series of Pacific storms is making its way to California and especially Southern California by Monday morning. This storm is going to unleash higher thresholds 3.7 to 8.0 inches of rain as possible but most likely between 3.2 to 6.0 inches looks solid with this heavy rain event is trending aggressively. This robust storm also has a impactful very intense polar jet stream axis of 180 knots. That will slam Los Angeles County directly on Monday 5PM - Tuesday 8PM. That will create potential for strong damaging winds of 60 miles an hour on Monday afternoon to Tuesday morning with possible power outages affecting from San Luis Obispo down to San Diego and urban flooding concerns for much of our region. #CAwx

Thursday March 19, 2026, 3:00 PM: The water vapor satellite shows an unforgiving 594 DM high-pressure axis that has firmly become anchored over Los Angeles, California to Phoenix, Arizona. This historic March heatwave is breaking records not seen over 100 years in Los Angeles and is the earliest 100-degree day for Phoenix, Arizona of the season. This amplified blocking pattern will keep Hawaii in flood territory while the southwestern U.S bakes at least until March 31, 2026, due to how strong the ridging has been this week. Possibly another ridge development next week. Simultaneously, a new low-pressure axis approximately 145 miles due west of Oahu has developed and will bring new rounds of rainfall and possibly flooding concerns. The extremes are fueled by the ongoing warming of the Pacific Ocean, which could be something that could have interesting ramifications in the next few months for both Hawaii, Southern California, the Pacific Northwest, Alaska, and the Midwest. #CAwx #heatwave #flood #hawaii

Tuesday, April 14, 2026 at 6:52 AM: What you have witnessed yesterday and this past weekend across California and parts of Southern California is the birth pains of an El Niño development and the ongoing escalation the warming of the Pacific torrential rains came through the San Fernando Valley with such strong, thunderstorms that it caused significant flooding in the Sherman Oaks, Universal City area around 1:05 PM - 1:35 PM yesterday on April 13, 2026. This powerful storm packed winds gusts of over 50 mph and it’s a true testament that we are no longer in a pattern that brings rain in just winter time but is now extending into April and May and beyond with that said we have another storm on the heels that will be arriving very quickly on April 21 - 27, 2026. The next storm will also bring more heavy rain, thunder, and lightning, and yes, more snowfall to the local mountains. As the Pacific continues to warm, the weather will become more drastic with extreme heat waves and more unusual severe rain events for California. This situation will get quite scary if it continues to verify by the end of October and November with the super El Niño development and the atmosphere connecting something that we’ve not seen since 1982, 1997/ 1998. The main Marshall Islands low axis is already gearing up for this major event this year which you’ve seen an example already. The flooding in the Hawaiian islands. Typhoon Sinlaku has now hit the Guam region with a category five status this early in April all due to the warming of the Pacific and the emergence of El Niño. #CAwx

Wednesday, May 6, 2026, 12:17 PM: The start of the 592 DM heat dome is continuing to move across the Central Pacific and is expected to park on top of Central and Southern California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico by Saturday 5 PM. This particular heatwave is quite interesting because it’s going to intensify significantly on Mother’s Day, May 10, 2026, and peak sharply, with temperatures of 96 to 109° by the time we get to next Wednesday. In addition, some eastern portions of the Coachella Valley could reach 110 to 115° is being watched extremely closely especially on Sunday through Tuesday. Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside, basin and all valleys, and let's not forget Antelope, Apple Lucerne Valley, including Santa Clarita San Fernando, Moreno, Sacramento, San Joaquin, valley. Solid confidence temperature threshold is likely with this type of large high-pressure axis dome. Important to also make sure everyone’s prepared for the sudden change in temperature as a human body cannot cope with a sudden shift from the 60s and 70s to now triple digits in such a short amount of timeframe. It’s important to remember to drink lots of water keep hydrated wear light color clothing as this heat wave is looking to be pretty strong next week. #CAwx

Thursday, January 15, 2026, 1:40PM: Just like clockwork the latest 0Z EU1 early preliminaries show that the powerful elongated Pacific jet extension will intensify greatly after January 24 and looks to aim directly at California, especially for Southern California by January 25 - February 8, 2026, This seems to be the best time frame for favorability. They’re is also now a re-emergence of the main Marshall Islands robust low axis approximately 345 miles due west seems to be developing in the central Pacific due to ongoing warming of the Pacific Ocean Basin very interesting times we are in currently. I'm monitoring all these ever-changing developments carefully and thoroughly in the next 72 to 96 hours. Currently, we’re experiencing almost record-breaking temperatures in Southern California where it was 85° on January 14, 2026 almost similar weather occurred back on December 10, 2025, where it was 87° in downtown Los Angeles this is the next loading phase of the storms. #CAwx

Saturday April 18, 2026, 7:50 PM: The latest satellite shows an incoming robust late-season Pacific storm into all of California starting Monday at 10PM to Tuesday at 7PM. The 545 DM low axis, approximately 240 miles northwest of San Francisco, continues to intensify greatly due to escalating warming of the Pacific, and a piece of embedded impulse from a typhoon near Guam will eject into this system. The main low axis will form a secondary low near San Luis Obispo to western Los Angeles counties late on Monday afternoon. This actually may further escalate the stronger surface cold front that will maintain all way through Southern California especially Los Angeles County. Perhaps even grazing Riverside, San Bernardino, and San Diego counties. In addition to this, there will also be severe thunderstorms that will be associated with the system, especially up into the Bay Area just south of Sacramento and Fresno. There could be isolated tornadoes as well on Tuesday afternoon. I'm watching this developing situation closely in the next 24 - 36 hours. The snow levels remain 5,500 feet for Lake Tahoe and Mammoth Mountain and that includes Yosemite Valley, where snowfall accumulation can reach 12 to 36 inches of snow by Wednesday afternoon. #CAwx #winterisback

Major Storm to Impact Southern California As of Wednesday, February 12, 2025, at 6:50 PM PDT, the latest infrared satellite imagery confirms that the incoming storm system is fully developed and on track to deliver severe weather across Northern and Central California tonight into early Thursday afternoon. The system is intensifying rapidly, with a powerful surface cold front expected to sweep through San Luis Obispo to San Diego counties, bringing damaging winds, torrential rainfall, and the potential for severe thunderstorms. Key Storm Impacts: "Big Thursday" – A Major Weather Event • Extreme Rainfall Rates – 0.50 to 1.5 inches per hour, increasing the risk of urban flooding, flash floods, and mudslides, particularly in burn scar areas of Los Angeles County. • Damaging Winds – Southerly gusts of 45-65 mph, capable of toppling trees, damaging weak structures, and causing widespread power outages. • Severe Thunderstorm & Weak Tornado Potential – The latest HRRR model data (18Z, 0Z) indicates the presence of a squall line, increasing the risk of isolated severe thunderstorms and weak tornadoes between 12 PM and 10 PM Thursday. • Scattered to Widespread power Outages – Areas at risk include the San Fernando Valley, Santa Clarita Valley, Ventura County, and portions of Los Angeles County, where infrastructure could be severely impacted. • Urban Flooding Concerns – Locations such as Downtown Los Angeles, Pasadena, Altadena, and Pacific Palisades will experience rapid runoff and potential roadway flooding, creating hazardous travel conditions. The Seriousness of the Situation This storm is shaping up to be one of the most intense weather events of the season, posing a significant threat to life and property. Residents in Los Angeles County and surrounding areas must prepare for prolonged heavy rainfall, high winds, possible power outages, and dangerous road conditions. Authorities urge residents to stay indoors, avoid unnecessary travel, and prepare emergency supplies. Those in flood-prone and burn scar areas should be especially vigilant for potential debris flows and flash flooding. This is a rapidly evolving situation and further updates in the next 24 to 30 hours. #CAwx #CaliforniaStorms

Wednesday, April 3, 2024, 5:42 PM PDT: All systems are a go for a cold and unseasonable Gulf of Alaskan April storm. Strong thunderstorms have already developed near Redding, California, and a series of embedded impulses are rotating around the main low axis off the coast of Humboldt County this afternoon. This storm system will undergo a brief 12 to 24-hour intensification process before hitting San Francisco, Santa Rosa, and Sacramento late Thursday afternoon. It will bring isolated strong to severe thunderstorm conditions. A large surface cold front will develop late Friday morning as the low axis trajectory slides down the coast towards Pismo Beach, California by Friday at dawn. Severe Weather Risk In Central And Southern California on Friday. The atmospheric conditions will become increasingly unstable, giving way to thunderstorms from central California to San Diego. The cold pool of air aloft, at minus 28 Celsius above 25,000FT, will create volatile weather conditions with the possibility of pea-sized hail and brief heavy rainfall in some areas. The air mass will be very cold, supporting a dusting of snow near the Grapevine and Cajon Pass. Temperatures will drop into the 40s and 50s, and the 30s near the mountains by Friday midday. As snow levels have been trending downward and hit rock bottom, there may be some isolated areas at 2,000-foot elevation along the San Gabriel’s and parts of the San Bernardino mountains that could see a dusting of snow. Even some dusting of snow in the high desert cannot be ruled out. There is a high confidence of elevated water spouts developing from San Luis Obispo to San Diego coastal zones, especially since one of the embedded disturbances will arrive on Friday from 11 AM to 7 PM. This is also the best opportunity for ample early April sun angle, which will give way to stronger convection across our region. I'm closely monitoring this developing situation in the next 24 hours. #Californiastorms #ElNiño #April2024

Monday, July 21, 2025 at 12:20 AM PDT: Southern California's weather this week remains relatively quiet compared to the extreme flooding impacting other parts of the country. However, eyes are now turning toward a developing tropical system off the coasts of Acapulco and Baja California. This system has the potential to enhance monsoonal moisture and influence our region between July 29 and August 6, with the most likely impacts occurring in early August. This period typically marks a westward shift in the monsoonal high-pressure axis, allowing deeper moisture to funnel into Southern California. Our region already saw a brief surge of monsoonal activity late last week (Thursday and Friday), signaling that the pattern may be primed for additional stronger robust events trending. What makes this setup notable is the potential interaction between monsoonal flow and tropical moisture, which could lead to a stronger and more sustained influx of moisture than we've seen so far this season and the escalation of warming of the Pacific Ocean continues. The latest forecast models in the last 72 hours have had consistent and comprehensive satellite trends that continue to be monitored closely as more details emerge over the coming days. Further updates will be issued as confidence increases regarding the track and strength of the strong monsoonal inverted influx and its potential impacts on the region. #CAwx #Monsoon2025 #HurricaneSeason

Thursday, May 28, 2026, 7:17 AM: It's not every day you wake up late in May and see a robust system that originated from off the coast of the Siberian peninsula three weeks ago now affecting California with a deep, unusually cold Siberian 552 DM low axis. Currently, this system is causing stormy weather in the Bay Area and unstable weather trending for a large part of our region with multiple embedded disturbances rotating around the parent low that is slowly moving throughout the state. There's a possible chance of isolated thunderstorms this afternoon in San Joaquin, Bakersfield, and maybe as far south as Santa Barbara County. One of these embedded disturbances may even reach as far south as western Los Angeles County by at least 7PM. However, the third low axis creates deep cyclonic flow there may be more showers due to a deep marine layer deck hovering 4,300 feet from Santa Barbara to San Diego counties. The temperatures will remain very March-like in the 67°F - 72°F range, and even colder in the mountains above 6,000 feet at 51°F - 54°F during the day, and at night 32°F - 35°F at higher elevations above 7,000 feet. The system will move into Texas by Friday at 4 PM and cause a new round of severe weather opportunities and flooding concerns. #CAwx #rain #May

The temperatures will remain very March-like in the 67°F - 72°F range, and even colder in the mountains above 6,000 feet at 51°F - 54°F during the day, and at night 32°F - 35°F at higher elevations above 7,000 feet. The system will move into Texas by Friday at 4 PM and cause a new round of severe weather opportunities and flooding concerns. #CAwx #rain #May

On Monday, June 1, 2026, at 8:29 AM, it is noted that today marks the commencement of meteorological summer and the official commencement of hurricane season. However, a new Siberian low is currently forming off the coast of the Siberian Peninsula and is now moving towards the Gulf of Alaska region. This may potentially impact the weather later this week in the Pacific Northwest, Oregon, and potentially parts of California. Therefore, I am closely monitoring the situation as forecast solutions are indicating the possibility of increased precipitation in the Pacific Northwest and Northern California, and maybe as far south as Western Los Angeles counties. This low axis could cause strengthening of onshore flow gradients which in turn amplifies the intensification of the June gloom marine layer deck along the coastal areas from Pismo Beach to San Diego possibly causing drizzle or light rain once again. #CAwx

Tuesday, June 16, 2026, 5:43 PM: Latest 18Z and EU1 shows possibly the next named storm in the eastern Pacific has teleconnecting moisture into Southern California, Arizona, and southern Nevada around July 1 - 4, 2026. This is the first official run of this potential system. More details will come to play in the next week or so to see if this continues to trend with the favorability of an increase in eastern Pacific hurricane activity due to El Niño, intensifying something to keep an eye on as atmospheric trends kick into gear. #Hurricaneseason #CAwx #ElNiño

Sunday, April 19, 2026, 7:57 AM: The latest satellite imagery shows the 545 DM low axis has rapidly intensified over the very warm Pacific waters in the last 12 hours. The main storm energy has shifted southward by 200 miles in its trajectory. This gives a higher opportunity allowing for more impacts not just to Northern California but also Southern California by Tuesday afternoon and Tuesday night to get even more rainfall and yes elevated thunderstorm development is not out of the question for San Luis Obispo to Los Angeles counties. I'm watching this evolving weather situation closely in the next 24 - 36 hours. Also, due to the placement of the low pressure, this could give a real significant severe weather threat for the Sacramento Valley and the Bay Area Monday night through Tuesday afternoon so this also may become even more convective than it was just 24 hours ago. This also gives a higher than 50% probability of low-grade tornadoes in the San Joaquin Valley by Tuesday afternoon or at least storm cells that could produce significant hail as well. Due to the warming of the Pacific, this will become more common as more storms will continue to develop at a rapid pace and become more severe across North America. Which you already saw in the upper Midwest last week. #CAwx

On Tuesday, December 23, 2025, at 11:38 AM, a potent Pacific storm resulting from the warming of the Pacific Ocean is beginning to emerge. It is currently located approximately 145 miles off the coast of Santa Cruz, California. This storm system is expected to strengthen, leading to the formation of a robust frontal boundary by 4 PM today, bringing rain and potential thunderstorms to the area as early as 11 PM tonight. Moreover, a significant amount of moisture is being transported from the Hawaiian Islands, Fiji, and the Marshall Islands, which could result in an additional 4.5 to 9 inches of rainfall starting from 11 PM tonight through Christmas Eve, exacerbating the risk of flooding. Particularly hazardous conditions are anticipated for Santa Barbara, Ventura County, Los Angeles County, Orange County, Riverside County, San Bernardino County, and San Diego County, with a high potential for flooding in areas affected by recent wildfires. Precautions should be taken, as damaging winds of up to 55 to 80 miles per hour gusts are forecasted to impact San Francisco by late Tuesday night at 8 PM, and Los Angeles by 5 AM to 10 AM on Christmas Eve. This moisture-laden system is expected to bring perceptible water values of 1.3 to 1.6 inches of water, potentially making it the wettest storm since December 2004 or even December 2010. It is crucial to be prepared for this significant weather event, with further updates expected as conditions deteriorate over the next 24 to 48 hours. #CAwx

On Friday, November 28, 2025, at 2:50 PM, the latest satellite shows a significant and quite dynamic 545 DM low axis located approximately 430 miles to the north of the Hawaiian Islands. Influenced by the continuous warming of the Pacific Ocean. Additionally, there is a secondary 555 DM low axis situated off the coast of Oregon and Washington state, which is expected to retrogress by next Tuesday according to the latest guidance and atmospheric jet streak that undercuts a strong ridge in the Gulf of Alaska. The consistent forecast over the last five days of the CPC continues to forecast the Central and Southern California trajectory to be affected by these systems. However, I am closely monitoring the trajectory of the double low axis as it has the potential to develop into a robust cut-off low pattern 70 miles off the coast of Santa Barbara to Los Angeles counties, which could lead to a period of interesting and very unsettled weather conditions as we head into the next work week. More updated details to come in the next 24 - 72 hours. #CAwx

Tuesday, April 14, 2026 at 6:52 AM: What you have witnessed yesterday and this past weekend across California and parts of Southern California is the birth pains of an El Niño development and the ongoing escalation the warming of the Pacific torrential rains came through the San Fernando Valley with such strong, thunderstorms that it caused significant flooding in the Sherman Oaks, Universal City area around 1:05 PM - 1:35 PM yesterday on April 13, 2026. This powerful storm packed winds gusts of over 50 mph and it’s a true testament that we are no longer in a pattern that brings rain in just winter time but is now extending into April and May and beyond with that said we have another storm on the heels that will be arriving very quickly on April 21 - 27, 2026. The next storm will also bring more heavy rain, thunder, and lightning, and yes, more snowfall to the local mountains. As the Pacific continues to warm, the weather will become more drastic with extreme heat waves and more unusual severe rain events for California. This situation will get quite scary if it continues to verify by the end of October and November with the super El Niño development and the atmosphere connecting something that we’ve not seen since 1982, 1997/ 1998. The main Marshall Islands low axis is already gearing up for this major event this year which you’ve seen an example already. The flooding in the Hawaiian islands. Typhoon Sinlaku has now hit the Guam region with a category five status this early in April all due to the warming of the Pacific and the emergence of El Niño. #CAwx

Sunday, June 21, 2026 9:31 AM PST / 12:31 PM EDT: A mini heatwave starts Tuesday into Thursday, with temperatures of 100F - 105F and humidity primarily for San Fernando, Simi, and Santa Clarita and Moreno Valleys. This also includes Palmdale, Lancaster, and Barstow. The main 594 DM heat axis will, unfortunately, affect Palm Springs, Coachella Valley, and Imperial. These areas will see temperatures of 115° to 120° during this time, especially on Wednesday and Thursday, which will be the hottest days of this year, and humidity will come in from the southeast, possibly bringing the first real taste of some monsoon moisture into our region. There are also new changes in the last 24 hours of the Baja low axis and embedded early Wednesday morning hints of unstable parameters for Los Angeles to San Diego counties. This includes the high desert communities, something to keep an eye on. Because it’s been so cool along the coastal zones and valleys for the past several months, please make sure to drink plenty of water and wear light clothing. Also, please check on the pets and elderly, as now we are on the first day of summer, and this means that more heat will be in our future. Temperatures in Phoenix will reach 115 to 119° heat by Wednesday and Thursday. This will be the hottest temperature so far this year. If you are traveling on the I-10 or the I-15, please make sure that you are not traveling during peak hours in the sun, as this could cause your automobile to overheat, especially if your radiator is not working properly with its cooling system. This is a real situation that can occur with older cars, and even some newer cars can have issues, as the extreme heat could be very dangerous in the desert communities. Tropics off the coast of Mexico continue to be monitored as more of an uptick in showers and thunderstorms organization falling into more favorable conditions, warmer sea surface temperatures 85.4F to 91.4F already due to ongoing strengthening of El Nino. Another factor is less shearing in the lower levels and mid levels of the atmosphere, giving opportunity for development in the next 2 weeks.

Saturday, March 14, 2026 10:50 AM: The latest satellite imagery shows that the powerful Kona Low has tripled in size over the last 36 hours. You can clearly see that the teleconnection from the Marshall Islands is firmly in place. It is interesting to note that the 545 DM low axis is located about 200 miles northwest of Kauai, while a secondary stationary 535 DM low axis remains positioned near the Marshall Islands. A secondary disturbance continuing to train across the region next week, and in addition solutions hint that part of this secondary system may be waiting for the unseasonable 594 DM high pressure ridge over the Southwestern United States to slowly break down around March 21– 23, 2026. Shortly afterward, between March 25- 31, 2026, models are trending toward a possible disturbance from that secondary low axis potentially moving toward the Western United States perhaps Southern California, as indicated by the latest 6Z GFS run this morning. #CAwx
