A STRONG PACIFIC STORM MOVING THROUGH NORTHERN AND CENTRAL
CALIFORNIA LATE TUESDAY THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY WILL BRING SOME
IMPACTS TO EXTREME SOUTHWESTERN CALIFORNIA.
THE STORM WILL GENERATE A LARGE WEST SWELL WHICH WILL MOVE THROUGH
THE COASTAL WATERS WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY BRINGING HIGH SURF TO
EXPOSED WEST FACING BEACHES WITH SOME BREAKERS EXCEEDING 10 FEET
POSSIBLE. THIS SURF WILL CAUSE DANGEROUS RIP CURRENTS.
OTHER IMPACTS MAY EXTEND INTO NORTHERN PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA WITH MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINFALL POSSIBLE AS FAR SOUTH
AS THE SAN BERNARDINO MOUNTAINS AND STRONG...GUSTY WINDS POSSIBLE
IN MOUNTAIN AND DESERT AREAS OF SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY. ANY
MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINFALL COULD CAUSE MUD AND DEBRIS FLOWS IN THE
SHEEP BURN AREA. THERE IS A CHANCE OF RAIN FOR AREAS FARTHER SOUTH
AND AMOUNTS IN THESE AREAS ARE EXPECTED TO BE LESS.
PRECEDING THE STRONG STORM...A WEAKER SYSTEM WILL BRING A CHANCE
OF LIGHTER RAINFALL LATE TODAY THROUGH EARLY TUESDAY WITH GREATEST
RAINFALL CHANCES TO THE NORTH AND LESSER CHANCES TO THE SOUTH.
Let me be the first(probably not)to say, “Global Warming” caused it!
Well here in just barely Northern CA it has been dropping down to 38 or 39 at night. It is 61 right now, which isn't freezing by any means but isn't hot either.
I take it by your name you live in Los Angeles...my son lives about three blocks from Rodondo beach area... does it affect that area too, ?
Bulllllfrog
Wow, judging by that jet stream coming through the central valley, I could end up in Kansas!
8 months of oil on the roads, mix in a little water and it’s bumper cars.
Remember, if you see foam on the road go slow. Or just floor it and pass somebody and take your changes.

Same or San Fernando Valley — a heavy mist and cool temps. For those areas of the country accustomed to rain on a weekly basis, this would not be big news. But to So Cal after a dry and sometimes really hot summer (just a few hotter than normal days though), a little rain will be a treat.
I do think I should’ve gotten that new roof a few months ago but I didn’t want to spend the money now — hope there are no leaks in my ancient roof this season.
Hope everyone in the burn areas can avoid any flooding!
It looks like all of the coastline is going to get blasted...
We get a few of these every year in N Californicator after Christmas until about the first of March.
This is the earliest, I have seen one of these tropical frog drowners in just under 4 decades.
We may find out how effective our multi million $ flood control rehaul works.
They said the upper heights of the Sierra’s could see winds of 125 mph.
“we are expecting 3 to 7 inches of rain and strong winds. Already have a flood watch...
Should be fun!”
Ditto in wino country.
Good grief! Those are cat 3 force winds!
Sea Lion Boom in San Francisco
*******************************EXCERPT*********************************
A record number of sea lions are parked on Pier 39 in San Francisco
Looks like a good blow and drenching,, spent the morning getting ready. Bring it on.
lol .. There has been a popuulation boom of the sea lions.. I hear they taste like chicken. ;-)
Aren't they a protected species....don't get caught if you try to capture some of the sea borne chicken.

The first major West Coast storm of the season will bring powerful winds late Monday night into Tuesday. The hardest-hit state will be California.
South to southwest winds will average 20-40 mph with gusts in excess of 60 mph along the coast from southwestern Oregon down to Point Conception, California.
I would think more like fishy pork...something smoked like kipper chops maybe.
Too bad they don't eat pier-strolling liberals.
eat pier-strolling liberals
LOL.. OH man, they could make an Olympic event out of that.
Could be, mate. I am up in the mountains of NorCal and we are bracing for heavy rains as of tonight and continuing through Tuesday night. We have some steep hillsides here that have not received any rain since last March, and with the fires that have occurred this year we are expecting some rock and mudslides to happen along with the snow level dropping down significantly. The town is at 2300’ so probably not snow there but in all probability the hills around will begin showing lowered snow levels. My place outside of town is at about 4500’ so I might see a few flurries, but hopefully not too many if I am fortunate.
Unfortunately, they never do. I have lived in these mountains for many years now, and every year we have more yet more slackwits going over the cliffsides because they did not appreciate how dangerous these winding mountain roads are when there is rain, ice, or snow on them.
