Guest happ Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 NWS hasn't been especially accurate with cut-off lows but Saturday may produce rainfall once again; hopefully showers for everyone this time. Mostly clear skies allowed chilly minimums away from the coastline this morning and likely again tonight unless the wind kicks up. 76/ 59 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anti Marine Layer Posted October 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 Offshore flow was very short lived today, but more should come next week more strongly. Hopefully we can get some measurable rain before that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan the Weatherman Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 It was quite the light show here in Orange tonight. From about 7:00 until 10 pm there was frequent lightning to my east, southeast, occasionally overhead, and even to the west and southwest at times. It rained here almost the entire time and it got heavy at times, providing a good soaking for the first significant rain of the season for Orange County. This will greatly help to reduce the fire danger for a good portion of O.C. including the Santa Ana Mountains when the Santa Ana winds come up early next week. However, if we have a prolonged dry spell with more Santa Anas, the fire danger will rise once again. If anyone here is interested in more details and observations on tonight's storm who aren't regular visitors or bloggers on Weather West, you can read the comments at weatherwest.com.

Anti Marine Layer Posted October 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 Lots of high school football games got canceled last night due to the lightning.

Anti Marine Layer Posted October 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 Phoenix now has 5.32" since Oct. 1. That is more than Downtown L.A. got from July 2017-June 2018. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan the Weatherman Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 Phoenix now has 5.32" since Oct. 1. That is more than Downtown L.A. got from July 2017-June 2018. That is an amazing amount of rain for the area, and even more incredible is that the month is only half over, meaning that this amount of rain has come in a 2 week period.

At mostly cloudy and 71F it is delightful outside especially considering upcoming warm-up this week.

Guest happ Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 SoCal Edison and Pacific Gas/ Electric [in NorCal] announced that they will shut off service if winds become too strong. They were charged as liable for fires [ie. Santa Rosa] this past year and will withhold electricity to areas experiencing high winds this week to prevent wildfires. 72/ 60 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest happ Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 Often being this close to the San Gabriel mts provides some protection from santa ana winds though exact locations differ. I noticed that nearby San Rafael Hills was gusting to 40mph and almost 10 degrees warmer than my calm area around 4am. Then periodic strong winds surfaced here w/ some branch damage about 2 hours later. Currently breezy but nothing like the conditions in the San Fernando valley and below Santa Ana pass/ Orange county. Dew points are below 10 degrees and minus 0 in places.
