Here`s an update to our current storm. Notice that rainfall and snowfall totals have increased. 0.5-1" of rain across coasts/valleys, and 1-2" across foothills/mountains are expected. Expected snow totals have increased to 4-8" with isolated 14" possible. Additionally, there is a 30% chance of up to 1 inch of snow possible over Tejon Pass/the Grapevine. There is a 20% chance of thunderstorms through Thursday morning. Prepare accordingly, and make sure to take shelter if you hear any thunder.#socal #cawx #LARain #larain #LAsnow #lasnow

Good afternoon from the Day Shift (Rich, Robbie and Kristen)!!!
Well, it looks like a rather cold and windy inside slider will be impacting the area, beginning Sunday night and continuing through Monday. The main concern will be strong west to northwest winds, Wind gusts of 60-75 MPH are expected across the mountains and Antelope Valley with gusts 30-50 MPH across the coasts and valleys. Additionally, there will be strong gale force winds (gusts 35-45 knots) across all the coastal waters on Monday. These strong winds will make for hazardous driving conditions for high profile vehicle as well as hazardous boating conditions for mariners. Also, there could be downed trees and power lines.
As for precipitation chances, like most inside sliders, this system will be moisture starved. Therefore, significant precipitation is not expected (totals, if any, will be less than 0.10 inches). The best chances for any measurable precipitation will be over the mountains. Snow levels will drop to the 2500-3000 foot levels on Monday and Monday night. So, any shower activity that develops could produce some "dicey" wintry driving conditions across the mountains (especially the Tejon Pass through the I-5).
Stay tuned for the latest details on this upcoming system.

This upcoming storm is looking to be generally weaker than past storms of this winter, except for a slight chance of thunderstorms late Wednesday-Thursday ☂️. Prepare for slick roads and travel delays and don`t forget to increase following distance with the car in front of you. #LArain #Socal #cawx #ventura #santabarbara #losangeles #Sanluisobispo

Moderate to brief heavy rain will continue to move over Ventura and Los Angeles Counties through the early evening hours. Minor flooding is likely to occur in urban areas along with small stream flooding. Rainfall rates of 0.30-0.50 inch per hour have been common and isolated thunderstorms could occur.
Move away from streams and drainages that could flood. If you see moving water across a roadway, Turn Around Don’t Drown. Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio and/or your favorite media source for updates on this situation.

Good afternoon from the Day Shift (Rich, Ryan, Rose, Lisa and Dave)!!!
Well, we still are on track for a significant atmospheric rain event for our forecast area from later today through early Saturday morning. By far, the heaviest rainfall will occur across San Luis Obispo county, but all areas will receive some decent rainfall.
Current forecast totals are:
- San Luis Obispo county: 2-5" except 5-10" across the NW part of the county.
- Santa Barbara county: 2-4" with local amounts up to 5" in the foothills.
- Ventura/LA counties: 0.75-1.50" with local amounts up to 3" in the foothills.
Significant hydrologic issues are possible across San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties, including flooding of rivers and streams, urban flooding as well as mud and landslides. Therefore, a FLOOD WATCH is in effect for these two counties. For Ventura and LA counties, only minor nuisance type of urban flooding is expected.
Snow levels will remain very high, above 9000 feet, through a majority of this rain event. Significant snow melt is likely below 6000 feet elevation. Above 6000 feet, there will be a significant danger of avalanches as well as the potential for snow sliding off roofs (which can result in injury or death).
Along with the rain, there will be some gusty south to southwest winds across San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties as well as the Antelope Valley. Wind gusts of 35-50 MPH will be likely with the potential for local gusts around 60 MPH.
Stay tuned for the latest details on this storm.

Good afternoon from the Day Shift (Rich, Mike and Dave)!!!
Although the storm continues to wind down, there still will be scattered showers and thunderstorms across the area through tonight. Any thunderstorms will be capable of producing small hail/graupel, gusty winds and brief heavy rains. Snow levels will remain very low, generally in the 1500-3000 foot range, through tonight. So, there will continue to be the threat of some snow across the valleys.
After a bit of a reprieve on Sunday, a series of weak storms will impact the area in the Monday through Wednesday time frame. This series of storms will be much weaker than what we have just experienced. However, there will be some decent rain and snow totals with these storms.
Stay tuned for the latest details with this active weather.

Now is the time to prepare for a COLD AND DANGEROUS winter storm. Many hazards are expected over the next several days. Several FEET of snow is expected in the mountains with a few inches possible as low as 1000 feet in elevation. Windespread gusty and potentially damaging winds are also expected tonight into Wednesday. Dangerous sea conditions are also likely, both in terms of winds and waves. Check out these graphics for more details. Take all necessary precautions! #CAwx

Well, we still are looking at a cold and wet storm to impact the area Wednesday through Saturday. Rainfall totals are expected to range between 1 and 2 inches across the mountains with totals generally between 0.25 and 0.75 inches for other areas.
The main thing of note with this storm will be snow levels. On Wednesday, snow levels are forecast to drop into the 1500-2000 foot range for most areas (with locally lower snow levels possible). Snow levels will remain at these levels through Thursday, before rebounding to the 2000-2500 foot range Friday and Saturday. Mountain areas can expect some significant snow totals through the period. However, even the Antelope Valley and interior valleys of San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties could see some snow totals of 1-2 inches. Accumulating snowfall is not expected across the coastal valleys and foothills, but some flurries can not be ruled out.
Overall, this storm will likely produce some significant travel issues due to wintry conditions. Mountain roadways such as the I-5 and Highway 14 in the LA Mountains, Highway 138 in the Antelope Valley, Highway 33 in Ventura county and even Highway 154 above San Marcos Pass could have travel issues.
Stay tuned for the latest details with this upcoming storm.

A weak storm system will bring mainly light rain and low elevation mountain snow to the area late Saturday into early Monday. The heaviest rain will be in Northwestern San Luis Obispo county. A trace of snow could affect Tejon Pass Sunday night through Monday morning, with 1-2 inches of snow possible on the northern slopes of the Ventura Mountains.
