A peek at what today's latest (12z) runs of the major deterministic Models are suggesting with regard to Rainfall this week across California. For #SoCal, current thinking is about 0.5" - 1" for much of LA/OC Metro, with higher amounts in the Foothills and Mountains. #CAwx

The forecasted precipitation anomalies for the next 15 days are very El Niño-like across the West. Coincidence? Or a harbinger of what's to come this winter...? I guess we will find out.

California: More views of fire activity from the Norte Fire earlier today in Orange County. More reasons to pass the Fix Our Forests Act, extend wildfire aviation contracts, and support the boots on the ground with better pay and benefits.

One last video of #NorteFire Sent from about an hour ago. So sad to see the destruction in this amazing neighborhood. My parents have lived here for more than a decade. This place is home to so many families, thinking and praying for all of you.

#SoCal will experience the peak of the Santa Ana Wind event today. Winds will continue into tomorrow with diminishing strength. A cooling trend will get underway on Sunday, and there is good Model consensus for a period of cool weather with a chance of showers next week. #CAwx

A Low Pressure System will move into California early next week bringing cool & unsettled weather to #SoCal. It's too soon to talk about specifics, but latest Ensemble trends suggest a more overwater path, which should bring a chance for Showers to the region early next week. #CAwx
