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

The heat dome ridge peaks overhead early tomorrow, then slowly begins to collapse. As it does so, this opens the door for thunderstorms fire up, as the suppressing subsidence forcing associated with the high pressure dome goes with it. This does not mean we cool off fast though, dangerous heat and humidity will continue through the weekend. Because of this, any storms that do fire, could easily become strong to severe. We are outlooked for severe weather on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in the DC region. Friday: Marginal risk. We're still under the capping influence of the ridge most of the day, so any storms that do fire should be isolated in nature. Most models keep the majority of the region sunny & dry again. Just can't rule out a few pop-up, especially later in the day if there is a complex in PA during the late afternoon, at it's outflow could come south and trigger storms. Saturday: Slight risk. We'll be in the sweet spot for ridge riders...strong thunderstorms riding the outskirts of the weakening heat some. Storms will likely fire over the mountains during the peak heat of the day (1-4pm) and then shift eastward as their outflow boundaries trigger additional storms. Won't wash out the 4th, but there is serious concern that storms will impact events downtown for at least a period of time Saturday evening. We will be here monitoring. Sunday: Ample energy ahead of a cold front which should put an end to this intense heatwave...but may do so with some intense storms. Will have to monitor for scattered severe storms, or possible squall line type system to come through. We're in an extended day 4 slight risk from SPC as things stand right now. GRAF only goes out through early Sunday morning at the moment, but I've got the latest run for you below. We'll keep you updated on timing and will be here all weekend watching radar for you as events go on downtown.

Christmas Eve and Christmas Day feature the most impressive severe thunderstorm setup I’ve seen along the California coastline in at least a decade. The first round of isolated severe thunderstorms will come ashore tonight, bringing the threat of a isolated tornado and severe wind gusts over 60 mph from the Central Coast up to Humboldt County. The severe weather threat then expands into the Central Valley during the afternoon, California’s tornado alley, with the potential for isolated tornadoes, damaging winds, and even large hail. The threat then shifts south into Southern California tomorrow, where isolated severe wind gusts and a brief tornado will be possible. However, Christmas Eve into Christmas morning features the most potent severe weather environment of the week and could lead to a severe thunderstorm outbreak along the coastline from the Central Coast up to the North Coast. The combination of strong low-level and deep-layer shear with sufficient instability is rarely seen in this part of the world. I seriously cannot recall seeing Significant Tornado Parameter (STP) values exceed 3 along the California coastline. The peak threat window appears to be from 10 PM Thursday to 8 AM Friday. It would not be out of the question to see a Severe Thunderstorm Watch issued Christmas Eve night with the potential for a couple tornadoes and scattered severe wind gusts. I also believe this may be the first time on record that San Francisco has been placed under a Marginal Risk for severe thunderstorms in the Day 1–3 NWS Storm Prediction Center Convective Outlooks.
