NEXT RAIN CHANCE SAN DIEGO: UPDATED MONDAY 12-26-2022

The atmosphere is becoming energized over the Pacific, which will allow for a few chances of rain in the next several days.

In the satellite loop below you can spot the flow streaming towards the West Coast off the Pacific. The flow is fairly flat (east to west) and not highly amplified (north to south). This allows fast-moving storms to approach the coastline.

There is also a tropical connection of moisture, or atmospheric river, which is shown in the second map. This will greatly enhance the rain potential in Central and Northern California, however, this river will weaken as it moves into Southern California. 

The first round of rain will arrive Tuesday evening and persist into early Wednesday morning (90%).

A few showers could pop up Thursday and Friday, though the majority of the days look dry (30%).

Snow levels will remain high (9,000 to 10,000) through most of the week.

Rain, isolated thunderstorms, and downpours will be possible through the day Saturday as a potent storm races past the area (90%). Showers will diminish early Sunday morning (New Year's Day).

Snow levels will briefly drop to 5,000-6,000 feet Saturday evening and night, so some local mountains could see some snow. Keep a close eye on the forecast in the coming days because I'm sure there will be some adjustments.

I've posted the computer projected rainfall and snowfall through Sunday afternoon. Most of Southern California is going to get some much needed precipitation soon!

NEXT RAIN CHANCE SAN DIEGO: UPDATED FRIDAY 12-9-2022

Our next storm system is moving out of the Gulf of Alaska and will bring rain to the area Sunday into Monday. You can spot it spiraling in the satellite image below. 

Showers will develop late Saturday night into early Sunday morning. Intermittent showers and isolated downpours will be possible through midday Monday, then we should be dry by Monday afternoon.

Snow levels will start at 7,000-8,000 feet Sunday, then drop to 4,000-5,000 feet Sunday night. Levels will then finish at 3,000-4,000 feet as the system exits early Monday.

I've posted rain and snow projections in the maps below. Rain totals will range from 1-2" and a few inches of snow accumulation will be possible in the highest peaks in our area.

 

 

NEXT RAIN CHANCE SAN DIEGO: UPDATED FRIDAY 12-2-2022

Skies are turbulent in the Pacific Ocean. There are a few small storm systems, which can be spotted in the satellite loop below. The most notable is the one diving out of the Gulf of Alaska. 

A brief shower could pop up over the weekend and Monday, but the chances look slim. A slightly better chance for rain will arrive late Monday into Tuesday as that Gulf system passes over head. However, rain chances are only low to moderate. This has been a difficult storm to predict, so I'll bring updates if needed.

I've posted computer projected rain and snow totals through next Wednesday morning. These maps show that most precipitation will remain north of our area. It's still great to see rain and snow in the Central Coast and Sierra's, which is much needed!

NEXT RAIN CHANCE SAN DIEGO: UPDATED SUNDAY 11-6-2022

Our next storm system is currently nestling into the Pacific Northwest - seen on the satellite loop below. Some patches of drizzle or light rain will develop on Monday, but most of the day should be dry.

Rain will then overspread the area on Tuesday and will persist intermittently through Wednesday morning. Rain chances quickly diminish by Wednesday afternoon. I've posted the computer projected rain totals below, which show 1-3" for coastal and inland areas and 3-4" for the mountains.

Snow levels will stay high through this event. On Tuesday they will be above 9,000 feet, then drop to 6,000 feet early Wednesday as the storm exits. This could bring a brief period of snow for the highest peaks in San Diego County, but significant snow for taller mountains to the north. I've posted the projected snow totals below.

NEXT RAIN CHANCE SAN DIEGO: UPDATED MONDAY 10-31-2022

Our first winter-like storm system will pass the area Wednesday into Thursday, bringing a quick chance for light showers and a little snow in the mountains.

The system is currently spinning in the Gulf of Alaska and will dive southeastward in the next couple days. Unfortunately, most of  the energy will miss us to the east, which will greatly impact the rain potential.

Light showers are possible early Wednesday. Then another round of showers will develop Thursday evening and will persist intermittently through Thursday morning. Most of the rain will be gone by midday Thursday. Coastal and inland areas will receive around 0.25" of rain, while mountain areas will get 0.5 to 1.0". I've posted the computer projected rain totals below.

Snow levels will drop to near 5,000 feet early Thursday, so some local mountains will get light snow. The ground is still very warm, so no accumulations are expected.

NEXT RAIN CHANCE SAN DIEGO: UPDATED FRIDAY 10-14-2022

A storm system continues to churn off our coast, bringing clouds to our area this morning. You can see it spinning in the satellite loop below. The core of this system is finally going to drift overhead and bring us some more rain to the area.

Drizzle and isolated light showers are possible through today, though most of the day looks dry. Then intermittent showers will be possible Friday night and through the day on Saturday. An isolated thunderstorm or quick downpour will also be possible, especially in the mountains. This won't be a major rain event, but we'll take whatever we can get!

Rain chances will diminish by Sunday morning. I've posted the computer projected rain totals below.

WEATHER UPDATE: 8 AM THURSDAY 9-8-2022

Hurricane Kay continues to move northwestward along the coast of the Baja this morning. The satellite imagery shows a ragged storm with a collapsing eye wall. This storm is weakening. 

Most computer projections have this storm downgrading to a tropical storm in the next 24 hours. The projected path also has Kay eventually turning more westward as it tracks closer to our area.

Kay will still get close enough to San Diego to bring some much needed rainfall. Isolated showers will be possible through today (Thursday). Then, more widespread showers and isolated downpours will develop by Friday morning and persist intermittently through the day.

Some showers will be possible Saturday into early Sunday, especially in the mountains, though they won't we as widespread as Friday. 

It's always tough pinpointing rain totals with a system like this. The slightest shift in track will greatly alter projections. With that said, the computers have been fairly consistent showing roughly 0.5" to 2.0" across the area.

It has been awhile since we've seen rain, so the roads will be slick. Be safe out there!
