I will be in Colorado this week
There are growing indications that large, intense, & perhaps record-breaking mid-atmospheric high pressure system (aka a "heat dome") will develop somewhere between Rockies & Central Plains by mid-Jul. This could bring a widespread & severe heatwave across much of the U.S.
ALT Map from ECMWF ensemble showing predicted 500mg GPH anomalies in mid-July. A massive ridge is depicted, centered near Colorado but extending from California to the Ohio River Valley.
I'm in the Anza Borrego area and seeing a possible leaning smoke column outh. Nothing is showing on the US side or across the border, and from Catalina Island wildfire cameras appears to be near San Clemente Island. Wonder if there is a fire on the island base? #CAFire
The Navy base on San Clemente island, that is. Its hot, dry, and windy today, and they've been doing lots of exercises lately.
Hopping back onto Twitter to remind you most scanner accounts reposting events in SoCal this week often repost conspiracy theories, are overwhelmingly pro Unconstitutional use of force against citizens, and have close ties to law enformcent.
Their info can be solid and timely, but know the perspective is from the safety of a computer screen and electronics, they're not reporters in the tear gas and CS bringing a more objective reality. Will they defend power when it starts injuring and killing unarmed Americans?
Got to see @RichIMET in person after many years (Thomas Fire, 2017) during today's RT130 refresher training hosted by the @Angeles_NF! Thank you Rich and all the folks at @NWSLosAngeles for their tireless work on forecasting and assistance as IMETs during fires.
