Throughout my childhood, I was fascinated with science and weather. This interest continued into college, where I received a B.S. in meteorology from the University of Kansas. After graduation, I worked at several TV stations across the country: KMBC (Kansas City, MO), KIMT (Mason City, IA), KRCR (Redding, CA), WTVR (Richmond, VA).
In 2011, I moved to San Diego to pursue another passion of mine - brewing beer. Surprisingly, there is a lot of science involved with this craft! I worked at Ballast Point for ten years and now I'm opening my own brewery in downtown San Diego - East Village Brewing Company.
I still love forecasting and tracking storms. This website is part of an ongoing project to provide quality long-range outlooks for San Diego and most of Southern California. If any major changes head this way, you will be the first to know!
Excellent site. Anyone who brews a great beer and is a student of the weather should be seriously followed! Could you please direct me to a source that tracked San Diego temperatures and rainfall prior to 2011, would appreciate. Thanks and keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words! It looks like the National Weather Service in San Diego now has local climate records dating back to 1850. Here is the link:

NEXT RAIN CHANCE SAN DIEGO: UPDATED SUNDAY 4-17-2022
Posted: 17 Apr 2022 07:22 PM PDT
A storm system is currently spinning in the Aleutian Islands of Alaska, 3,000 miles away from San Diego. Some energy in the upper atmosphere will push this system southward towards our area and bring us a brief chance for showers Thursday night into early Friday. You can spot the storm in the satellite loop below (first map).
Unfortunately, there won't be much moisture associated with this system, so the overall rainfall potential will be limited. I've posted the computer projection for rain totals below, which shows totals ranging from 0.1 to 0.5" (second map).
I'll continue to watch this storm and bring updates if needed.
