NEXT RAIN CHANCE SAN DIEGO: UPDATED SAT 10/31/2015

The next storm system still looks on track. You can see it spiraling off the Canadian West Coast on the satellite loop below. We will see a surge of warm air ahead of the system today and Sunday.

A powerful cold front will then sweep through the area for the first half of the workweek. A few intermittent showers and possibly a quick downpour will be possible Monday through Wednesday, however, it doesn't look like a major rain event.

Also expect breezy conditions and cooler weather. Highs will remain in the mid to upper 60s. Thursday morning will be the coolest, where temperatures will dip into the 40s!

I'll have more updates in the coming days.

NEXT RAIN CHANCE SAN DIEGO: UPDATED TUE 10/27/2015

A small fast-moving storm system will pass the area late Wednesday into early Thursday. This will bring clouds and a slight chance for isolated showers (20%). High temperatures will briefly drop into the 70s Thursday, then bounce back to the 80s for Friday and Saturday.

I'm keeping my eye on a bigger system that is headed this way for the start of next workweek. It doesn't look like a major rain event, however, a few showers will be possible. The biggest impact of this system will be the cooler weather. High temperatures will drop into the mid 60s to low 70s from Monday through Thursday. We will also see an increase in winds.

 I'll bring more updates in the coming days!

NEXT RAIN CHANCE SAN DIEGO: UPDATED THU 10/22/2015

Computer forecasts are becoming more consistent with our next rain potential. It's looking like a storm system will move out of the Gulf Of Alaska and into our area around October 28-29. This is still far into the future, so there could be changes in the timing and strength of this system. Regardless, it's the best chance we've got for rain in the next ten days.

SAN DIEGO RAIN TOTALS: FRI 10/16/2015

WEATHER UPDATE: FRIDAY 10/16/2015

Isolated light showers and patchy drizzle will move through the area today, especially in the morning. Unfortunately, rain totals won't amount to much. Luckily it will keep things cool! More patches of mist/drizzle could form tonight.

NEXT RAIN CHANCE SAN DIEGO: UPDATED TUE 10/13/2015

As I mentioned in my last blog entry, the storm system that brought us rain last week has retrograded. It is now spiraling off the coast of the Baja and Southern California. It will bring a chance for isolated showers for the next few days, especially on Thursday.

Unfortunately this system is moisture-starved, so rain totals will be subdued.
Regardless, we'll take what we can get! In addition, the cloud cover will help taper some of the heat.

NEXT RAIN CHANCE SAN DIEGO: UPDATED TUESDAY 10/6

The storm system the brought us rain for the past couple days could bring us rain again early next week.

Yes, that is not a typo! The system will get cut off from the governing upper level flow. It will then meander south of our area and move backwards (west) for the weekend. You can spot its' erratic path on the animation below.

These are called cut off lows and are extremely difficult to forecast. It will take careful monitoring over the next few days before I can give any concrete rain forecasts.

SAN DIEGO COUNTY RAIN TOTALS: 10/4/2015 - 10/5/2015

Here are the two-day rain totals from the last storm system: Sunday 10/4 and Monday 10/5. Click to enlarge.

 NO RAINFALL REPORTED.

WEATHER UPDATE: MONDAY 10/5/2015

Widespread showers will taper to isolated showers later this afternoon and evening. Rain chances will completely diminish by early tomorrow morning.

**Updated totals are here**

http://sandiegoweathercenter.blogspot.com/2015/10/san-diego-rain-totals-1042015-1052015.html

WEATHER UPDATE: SUNDAY 10/4/2015

Periods of rain and isolated downpours will be possible on-and-off through Monday. There is enough instability in the atmosphere that you could hear a random rumble of thunder as well. As always, you can find 24 hour rain totals here:

http://sandiegoweathercenter.blogspot.com/p/rain.html.

I'll also post the storm totals tomorrow once the rain is finished. Breezy conditions will also persist through Monday, especially in the mountains.

Enjoy the cooler weather while it lasts. We have a big warm-up heading this way for the end of the workweek and next weekend. You can see the warm blob of air over our area on the map below. Unfortunately, it looks like this warm pattern will linger into the middle of the month (with an occasional break from the heat possible).

WEATHER UPDATE: SATURDAY 10/3/2015

The next storm system is currently passing the Pacific Northwest this morning. You can see the spin in the atmosphere over Oregon on the water vapor satellite loop below:

A few showers will arrive this evening and tonight. Then we will have a chance for spotty on-and-off showers through the day on Sunday. I want to emphasize that it won't be a continuous all day rain event, though if you are going to be outside, you should plan accordingly.

There will be just enough instability in the atmosphere that an isolated downpour or thunderstorm will be possible. Winds will also strengthen on Sunday, especially in the mountains, where gusts could reach 40-50 mph.

Isolated showers will still be possible Monday. Two-day rain totals will be 0.1-0.5" (map below).

NEXT RAIN CHANCE SAN DIEGO: UPDATED FRIDAY 10/2/2015

The storm system still looks on track for Sunday and Monday. A few showers and isolated thunderstorms will be possible on-and-off through Sunday, however, don't expect a complete washout (60% chance for rain). The threat for isolated showers or even a thunderstorm will persist into Monday (40% chance for rain).

Winds will also strengthen on Sunday and Monday, especially in the mountains, where gusts could exceed 30-40 mph.

Temperatures will drop into the mid to lower 70s for both Sunday and Monday, which will feel great!
