[Anti Marine Layer]

Gloomy marine layer is back after going on hiatus yesterday.

[Thunder98]

Finally reached 1 inch of rain with this storm now since 5AM! Winds are now blowing out of the WNW direction.

[Thunder98]

I'm now above 200% avg rainfall for October. 

[Thunder98]

The Marine layer stratus clouds are clearing up in SD.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Snowing in Tahoe. 2 months until Christmas.

Does Copperopolis have an official NWS station? Curious how much rain my grandfather is receiving out of these AR's!

Even a cocorahs site I'd be fine with.

The close CoCoRahs to Copperopolis is Angels Camp reporting 4.67" and raining. Here is the link https://maps.cocorahs.org

[Thunder98]

 LA is seeing some drizzly light rain.

Thanks, I figured there should be something over in that area. We have like half dozen of those in K-Falls. 

[Anti Marine Layer]

Solar noon is more than 16 minutes ahead of schedule now.

[Pn1ct0g3n]

Light misty rain for about 45 min. Then it stopped.

[Thunder98]

Pouring again at the back end of the cold front. Winds are back to a SW/S direction albeit light. 

[Thunder98]

The main rain band has passed and clearing skies from the NW is approaching. Rainfall total for today is a overperforming 1.40" of rain or 259% of the October avg of 0.54"! I hope areas further south like in LA, OC and SD sees a decent amount of rain today.

[Anti Marine Layer]

More drizzle ahead of the main system.

[Reg]

Main rain band isn't here yet however I've just recorded 0.02" from light rain here this morning.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Still the boring drizzly stuff.

[Thunder98]

Steady light real rain in Venice Beach.

[Pn1ct0g3n]

More like a soaking mist than real rain.

[Reg]

The misty light rain is blowing sideways here right now, even though it's not very windy.

[Pn1ct0g3n]

Spoke too soon. Skies are opening up. Wind driven too.

[Thunder98]

Over 1 inch of rain in Sepulveda Canyon. 

 

 

 

[Anti Marine Layer]

Here comes the real rain!

[Anti Marine Layer]

Looks like it will mostly be light to moderate rain.

[Reg]

Light rain has become more steady over the past hour here. 0.07" and rising.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Lots of records broken in Sacramento yesterday.

Rain is getting a little heavier now. It's been raining for at least an hour.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Coming down pretty hard now.

[Pn1ct0g3n]

We got a good 20 minutes of steady soaking rain. Now back to on and off light showers. 

[Thunder98]

Very strong cells in the Central Valley.

[Reg]

0.22" and rising, rain is coming down harder than it has all day (but I wouldn't call this heavy rain).

The main rain band is looking pathetic now compared to earlier today when it was further upstate. Looks like it'll have disintegrated almost completely by the time it reaches San Diego.

[Reg]

The rain band has been reduced to being barely 20 miles wide at its widest point right now, which is right over me. Decent rain coming down, 0.29" here. Looks like it will at least be in line with predictions for my area.

An almost squall-looking formation seems to have developed in San Diego, which I did not expect.

[Thunder98]

Bakersfield is under a severe thunderstorm warning.

[Reg]

And there it is, patches of blue sky and sunshine to my immediate west, although it's still raining here.

I was hoping I wouldn't see that today. Oh well.

[Thunder98]

4.7 Earthquake at the very north-western part of SLO County. I didn't feel anything as I was 79 miles away from the epicentre.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Rain started again after stopping for a while.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Rain gauge for the Lake Forest station seems to be broken. 

[Reg]

Not going to lie, we’re seeing some awesome colors to the western horizon right now. Sorry I couldn't get a better view than this right now:

Live feed camera from Santa Margarita Reserve just south of me does it more justice:

[Thunder98]

The AR is dying real quick. RIP
