NEXT RAIN CHANCE SAN DIEGO: UPDATED SATURDAY 11-25-2017

A fast moving front (seen on the satellite loop below) will pass the area Sunday night into early Monday. Scattered showers will be possible, though the heaviest rain will miss us to the north. The chance for rain will diminish by late afternoon. High temperatures will drop into the 60s.

Latest computer data is hinting at a more potent system by next weekend (indicated by the blue on the second map). This could possibly bring more widespread rain to Southern California. I'll keep an eye on it and bring more updates in the coming days.

NEXT RAIN CHANCE SAN DIEGO - TROPICAL STORM LIDIA: UPDATED 1 PM SATURDAY 9-2-2017

Tropical Storm Lidia will continue to weaken as it moves to the northwest. The computer forecasts for track and intensity are posted below.

Although the core of the storm will miss San Diego to the west, it will still be close enough to bring showers and isolated downpours to the area on Sunday.

Strongest winds will remain near the center of the storm off the coast. The low pressure will be closest to San Diego right around 9 AM to 4 PM Sunday. The computer forecast for sustained winds is posted below. Sustained winds of 30-40 mph can be expected offshore during this time.

The storm will continue its northwest path into Sunday night, so rain chances will quickly diminish heading into Labor Day.

EXTREME HEAT IN SAN DIEGO: UPDATED WEDNESDAY 6-14-2017

Hot air will slowly move into the region over the next few days. You can spot the progression of the heat core on the maps below (indicated by the shades of red and purple).

Highs will reach the mid 80s on Thursday and then upper 80s to near 90 heading into the weekend. Further inland, the heat will be more intense, where highs will easily exceed 100.

The core of the heat will settle overhead on Monday and Tuesday, where we should easily see highs in the 90s. Ultimately it depends on the thickness of the marine layer, which could be our saving grace for coastal and areas just inland. Mountains and desert areas will be unbearable.

Long range computer forecasts are hinting at a gradual break down of the pattern possibly around Sunday 6/25 to Tuesday 6/27. I'll keep monitoring the trends and bring more updates.

NEXT RAIN CHANCE SAN DIEGO: UPDATED SUNDAY 5-14-2017

A storm system is approaching our area from the northwest. You can spot it in the satellite loop below. This system will bring us a chance for a few showers on Monday. The rain chance will quickly diminish by Tuesday. Rain totals should stay below 0.5".

NEXT RAIN CHANCE SAN DIEGO: UPDATED FRIDAY 4-7-2017

A weak front will pass the area early Saturday morning. It will bring a brief chance for some showers, though the bulk of the rain will miss us to the north. Rain chances diminish by the afternoon. Temperatures will stay comfortably cool through the weekend.

Another chance for rain will arrive by the end of next workweek, though it also will miss us to the north. Regardless, it's worth watching in the upcoming days.

NEXT RAIN CHANCE SAN DIEGO: UPDATED MONDAY 3-20-2017

A large storm system is spinning off the West Coast. It looks impressive on the satellite loop below. This system will glide overhead on Wednesday. Scattered showers and isolated downpours will be possible during this time. We could even see an isolated thunderstorm Wednesday night, so don't be surprised if you hear a rumble or two. The computer forecast rain totals are below.

Snow levels will stay above 8,000 feet all day Wednesday, then drop as low as 5,000 feet by Thursday morning as the system exits. The highest mountains in San Diego County could get some snow, though most of the accumulations will be in the San Bernardino Mountains and into the Sierras. The computer forecast snow totals are below.

Another system could pass the area on Saturday, however, it doesn't look too impressive.

NEXT RAIN CHANCE SAN DIEGO: UPDATED THURSDAY 2-23-2017

There are a couple small storm systems headed this way by the end of the weekend. You can see the first spinning over Alaska. The second system is right behind. Both systems will bring a chance for showers late Sunday into Monday. I've also attached a preliminary look at computer forecast rain accumulations. Obviously these will change a bit as the systems move closer and the data becomes more reliable.

NEXT RAIN CHANCE SAN DIGO: UPDATED THURSDAY 2-16-2017

The next storm system is brewing in the Pacific Ocean right now. You can spot the jet stream energy in the upper left of the water vapor loop below (first map). It's going to tap into a decent amount of moisture. You can see the moisture plume in the second map below. Here is a rough timeline of the storm:

FRIDAY
7 AM to 4 PM: Stray isolated shower possible (30%) Snow levels 10,000 to 12,000 feet.
4 PM to 12 AM: Rain moves in from the west. Embedded within the showers will be heavy downpours. (100%) Snow levels 6,000 to 9,000 feet.

SATURDAY
12 AM to 7 AM: The heaviest rain exits the region. (100%) Snow levels 6,000 to 8,000 feet.
7 AM to 7 PM: Isolated showers, or brief downpour will be possible. (60%) Snow levels 5,000 to 6,000 feet.

SUNDAY
7 AM to 7 PM: Lingering isolated shower possible. (30%) Snow levels 5,000 to 6,000 feet.

NEXT RAIN CHANCE SAN DIEGO: UPDATED MONDAY 2-13-2017

Rain is looking likely for the end of the workweek and into the upcoming weekend. Showers and occasional downpours will be possible Friday and especially into Friday night (90%). Isolated showers will persist into Saturday (60%) and possibly Sunday (30%).

The latest computer data suggests the system is trending slower and farther south (first map below is yesterday's data, the second map is from today). If this trend continues, the highest rain totals could miss us to the south. Regardless, we could still get a good soaking from this system.

Another rain chance will arrive early next week - possibly next Tuesday or Wednesday.

NEXT RAIN CHANCE SAN DIEGO: UPDATED MONDAY 2-6-2017

A few showers will be possible today and tomorrow as a front passes the area. Rain totals won't be too impressive, but we'll take whatever we can get.

Another system passes late Friday into Friday night. Scattered showers are possible, however, the brunt of the storm will miss us to the north.

Then we will see a period of warm and dry weather from Sunday, 2/12 to Wednesday, 2/15 (indicated in red on the first map below).

Afterwards, long range computer forecasts are now hinting at a stormy and wet period headed this way by the end of next workweek, starting roughly around 2/16 to 2/17 (indicated in blue on the second map below). This is definitely worth watching because it could bring substantial rainfall to most of Southern California. I'll bring more updates in the coming days.
