Thunder98 Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 2016 is pretty much in the books now. The upcoming forecast turns much wetter next week with a potential of strong series of storms impacting all of California. http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/predictions/610day/610temp.new.gif http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/predictions/610day/610prcp.new.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan the Weatherman Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 I am glad you started a new thread for California weather for 2017! Hopefully one of the moderators pins the thread so that it stays near the top of the list in the unlikely case it doesn't get updated for a few days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anti Marine Layer Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 Not 2017 yet. Yesterday models were showing offshore flow for the first weekend of 2017. Now they show a possible atmospheric river. Who knows what tomorrow will show. Hopefully they come into agreement soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anti Marine Layer Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 They are lowering the rain chances for next weekend. Otherwise a very damp and gloomy cold day today with little rain to deliver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan the Weatherman Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 They are lowering the rain chances for next weekend. Otherwise a very damp and gloomy cold day today with little rain to deliver. For whose area? I don't think Orange County's chances have changed since yesterday. Geez, I didn't realize how much the San Diego NWS was downplaying the possible AR event this weekend on their afternoon AFD as far as effects on far Socal. I just read an updated NWS Oxnard AFD, and they are much more bullish on the rain prospects for their entire CWA, which begins north and west of Orange County, even if their more northern areas are more favored.

Guest happ Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 If today's maximum is under 60° it will be the 4th consecutive day in the 50's since January 2013 when there were 5 days straight below 60°. Monday: 57/ 51 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anti Marine Layer Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Sunset is now later than when we switched back to Standard Time in November. It will be reaching 5:00 PM next week. Meanwhile, sunrise continues to get a few seconds later each day. It now looks like chances of rain are being removed for this weekend, at least south of Los Angeles. Still hope to get something Sunday night or Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest happ Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Some weather geeks are complaining that the "Artic event" is missing in-action down here. Portland is on the 45th Parallel along with Minneapolis/ Montreal/ Nova Scotia [seattle latitude = Duluth/ Halifax]. I'm enjoying the discussions. But no complaints about precipitation especially in Central Cal where they need it most. Hopefully this activity will continue long-term.

Guest happ Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 First rainfall of the new year overnight. Storm track looks quite favorable for California into next week; maybe too much rain in NorCal. When was the last time we had too much rainfall?

Guest happ Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 Aside from low elevation freezing temps tonight in NorCal the freeze line could exceed 10,000' in the Sierra Nevada this weekend under extremely heavy rainfall. The possibility of flooding is very real. What a difference this year has made in comparison to the past 6. 63/ 54 0.657.21 [year jul-jun] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan the Weatherman Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 I am just hoping that these storms don't bypass Socal just to the north. While I am really glad that northern and central CA are getting copious rains, I feel left out if we don't get at least some of the action. It only rained here in Orange overnight last night until about mid-morning, and there wasn't any more rain for the remainder of the day.

BLI snowman Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 Definitely looks like a significant flood event is on the way for the Sacramento Valley rivers and likely the Reno area as well. Lots of snow will be melting on Sunday and Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder98 Posted January 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 Its 21F degrees colder than this time yesterday. Currently its 36F and yesterday at this time was 57F! It is also much colder than forecasted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, at least most areas are averaging above normal rainfall in SoCal. I also hope we get in on some heavy rain this weekend/ early next week but the hillsides are now lush with grass and the reservoirs are filling up!

Anti Marine Layer Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 It rained a little bit this morning, but now there are just a lot of high clouds. Looks like Monday's storm should be pretty good for L.A. but weaken drastically by the time it gets to San Diego. Latest sunrise in Pacific Standard Time was this morning for Orange County.

Anti Marine Layer Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 San Francisco has picked up a measly 0.69" so far in the last two days and not all of it is from the atmospheric river. Where is the heavy rain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest happ Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 Light rain overnight produced 0.12 for today; heavy showers begin tomorrow night. It seems like most of the rain happens at night in LA. 70/ 51 Jan: 0.77 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
