The return of Fogust by next week? @Anti Marine Layer

 

[Reg]

Rain and wind have oddly calmed down here over the past hour. 0.43" since midnight. Barometer has plunged to 29.56". Current temperature 74F and holding. Cloudy.

So far here in Orange this has been a steady light to moderate beneficial soaking rain almost having the look of a winter storm, only that it is warmer and much more humid. The rain started just after 3 am. There hasn't been any wind to speak of and there is just a slight breeze right now.

This will definitely put a damper on the fire danger in Socal for a while. Hopefully we get a couple of more rain events between now and the start of Santa Ana season to help with the fire danger as we go into fall.

Rain is intensifying and so is the wind. 

[Anti Marine Layer]

My oh my, it's humid.

Just went outside for my afternoon shower

Small earthquake just now.  Got an alert from Google just before it happened.  Crazy.

All the nice chalk drawings welcoming kids back to school were washed out.

Currently 80F with a dew point of 64!

Not much heavy rain or wind right now. What happened?

[Minny_Weather]

I've been inside all day, but each of the few times I have gone outside it was raining heavily. Absolutely zero noticeable wind.

Didn't feel the earthquake, but I got the alert.

[Thunder98]

Experiencing NNE winds from Hilary. Feels like a hot muggy Santa Ana.

[Reg]

Lot of wind over the past couple hours. Rain has mostly died out for now.

Clouds are really moving fast. 1.77" for today.

[Reg]

Wind direction shifted here about two hours ago.

[Thunder98]

Not a drop of rain here.....

[Minny_Weather]

For the first time today, I am seeing a fairly noticeable amount of wind. 

[Anti Marine Layer]

It's getting windy here now too.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Getting dark now. 

[Reg]

A lot more wind than rain here at the moment. Looks very dark and eerie outside.

[Reg]

Wow

[Anti Marine Layer]

Tornado in Long Beach. 

[Reg]

What was left of the eye of Hilary passed only about 20 miles east of me around 5 PM. That was when my barometer displayed its lowest reading - 29.43" - before going back up.

Heavy rain and very windy. 2.03" for now.

I can't find anything on this. Where did you hear it from?

The person who said that is the same person who posted "getting dark now" at sunset time.

KCAL 9. Or maybe it wasn't in Long Beach. 

[Anti Marine Layer]

Heavy rain has returned.
