The atmosphere has quieted down overnight, and pleasant conditions look to prevail today and tomorrow.  The strong low-pressure system that impacted our area earlier this week is now bulldozing its way eastward and is causing a major severe weather outbreak across the Midwest and Deep South today.  Here in SoCal, a little ridge of high…

We have an active radar again this morning as another storm will drop through the region today.  Generally light to moderate rainfall is expected; however, a brief heavy downpour can’t be entirely ruled out.  Additional rainfall totals are expected to come in somewhere between ⅓” and ⅔”.  Rain should taper to showers late this afternoon…

The potent cold front swept the region around 1 a.m. this morning, bringing a few hours of steady, moderate rain, and a brief moment of heavy rain.  As of 9 a.m., I see no reports of flash flooding or other problems in the burn areas.  Just because the sun is out doesn’t mean we can…

What is shaping up to be the most robust storm of the season is finally here.  The cold low pressure sits over the eastern Pacific and will move over the region through Thursday.  The cold frontal band sits just off the California coast, interactive with a fetch of subtropical moisture to the south.  Forecasters expect…

We have an active radar this morning.  The center of storm #1 is currently west of San Diego and moving ESE.  A lobe of energy wrapping around the low is spinning through the Santa Barbara/Ventura/Los Angeles County area.  The rain coverage is very non-uniform, and the rain today should come and go, decreasing in coverage…

We have one final day of pleasant weather before a series of storms moves through the area.  Only a few degrees cooler as high pressure has already begun to shift to the east ahead of storm #1, currently positioned about 550 miles west-southwest of Ventura County.  The day should be mostly sunny, with maybe some…

What looks to be the most pleasant day of the year so far is shaping up here in Ventura County today.  High pressure aloft and weak offshore flow remain in place, teaming up to push highs into the 70s today (mid to upper 60s near the beaches).  A weak eddy circulation could have caused some…

Two days of great weather ahead, just in time for the weekend.  A high-pressure ridge has built in over the state.  That, plus weak offshore flow, will help propel temperatures into the upper 60s today and into the low 70s tomorrow.  Sunny skies should prevail.  Enjoy, because we slip right back into an unsettled pattern…

We’ve had a chilly start to this morning, with temperatures dipping as low as 43° just before dawn at the airport, and 40° CamWX.  Temperatures should recover pretty quickly with all the sunshine today.  Highs should eventually top out in the low 60s.  With the offshore trajectory of yesterday’s 2nd wave of the storm, additional…

We’ve seen big changes to the forecast for wave #2, meaning we’re no longer expecting nearly the same rain and thunderstorms we were 24 hours ago.  Instead of passing through SoCal, the slug of energy is projected to pass well off the coast, keeping most of the stormy activity offshore.  The eastern edge may brush…
