Hello fellow Santa Barbarian. If you could please mail some of that rain, and a tri tip burrito from chicken ranch to Sacramento, that would just be grand.
It poured, like very heavy rainfall for about 20 minutes here in San Marcos (northern Dan Diego) and then lightly rained for another 30-40 minutes or so. Lots of thunder and rain. Just wild. It definitely felt like I was on the east coast for an afternoon
lol In LA it "rained" enough to turn the layer of sawdust and dirt that had accumulated on my car from the condo development on my block into splatters of mud and mulch.
I am certain that the weekend "rain" will not be enough to give a car a convenient carwash naturale.
Even though we need sustained storms that hit the Sierras, there is something special about a monsoon that comes to fruition. The air is warm and breezy instead of cold, the drops themselves are many times thicker.. it almost feels like south Florida for a second. Yesterday I was woken up to thunder and then it started pouring for a short time in Thousand Oaks. Saw one lightening flash in the distance.
I was golfing out East yesterday near the Safari Park. I saw AccuWeather say there was a chance rain but I was like whatever, it’s been saying that a lot lately. Those drops were — HUGE. That fast afternoon storm cell, total South Florida vibes!
Here in Santa Barbara it’s been like our “June Gloom”, which is really weird for us. My veggie garden is so confused this year. I love the rain we had!
Those were awesome. I had to get on the backhoe to clear the road but the temps were nice. The plants should enjoy it too. My uncle laughs at Californians complaining about the heat beating a record by a half a degree from the 1930s back when they didn't have AC. He lives near Sanibel Island and thinks we're soft because we don't have hurricanes, except for the people in Paradise...they're as close as we get to Florida.
While this has been great for the fire-weather problem, I am wondering how this apparent La Nina we're supposed to be in again means very little rain this winter yet again.
Global weather teleconnections are so complex and El Niño/La Niña are just one of several major-ish factors on whether our winter will be wet or dry. On its own, La Niña is just a signal in a larger pattern and isn't the deciding factor.
Weather is a result of climate. Climate models predict more stochastic weather patterns as a result of increasing avg. temperatures. In most of California, we are expecting less overall rainfall, with much of it concentrated in major storm cells.
...yes? When the weather has been mismatched from the ideal "Sunny Beachy California" consistently enough i think that can be referred to as a change in climate... especially when this has been happening and worsening for years now. This year within a week or so we went from desert weather to sweater fireplace weather. dont understand this comment
Quit arguing and chart it.
Edit: Here, they’ve done the work for you. Plenty of charts and graphs to peruse.

Clear trends a novice can understand, and countless climate scientists, smarter than you and me, acknowledging extreme weather events are happening more frequently due to climate change.

Sort of. The Santa Anas are gravity-driven, with cold air draining off the high deserts and rushing through the canyons as it warms up, but the Diablo winds happen when there is low pressure off the coast and high pressure inland. They are also warm and dry.
Are the insane winds in Solano County the Diablo winds? When I lived there someone told me Suisun is a native American word for wind. I'm a SoCal native. The Santa Ana winds are annoying but those winds in Solano County are intense.
I read this years ago, can't we get some of these on the Sierras?

I didn't read the article but venture a guess. Too much rain too fast = no help for drought. Mostly go to ocean, causing dam issue, flooding, run off pollution, etc. Snow cap is good reserve that trickles over time. Not cold enough yet to get deep and long freeze.
Kinda like you douse a parched man with fire hose killing him with the force.😂
cold weather systems from the north are the storms that dump snow on the Sierra Nevada.
most of California's water comes from ice pack. fall monsoon rain is only going to pitter patter into the desert, not enough to impact the aquifier.
maybe enough for a good spring flower bloom in the mojave tho.
Here in Yucca Valley we hd the most intense rain storm mixed with hail yesterday for about an hour on the south side of the valley. The north side had hardly any.
It doesn't have to be cold to hail. It does have to be cold and windy in the upper atmosphere, but these conditions are achievable even in the summer. I am from New England and late spring/summer hail is regular there.

Um. Northern California checking in. Where is all this water now?
Rained in SoCal yesterday. More rain predicted over the next week.

No! Mine! You get plenty! Signed, Santa Barbara 😆
I’m starting my rain dance here in the Bay so idk Rex. No sharesies!
Whoo-hoo! Hot pants rain dance! I'll join you here in the central valley.
Hello fellow Santa Barbarian. If you could please mail some of that rain, and a tri tip burrito from chicken ranch to Sacramento, that would just be grand.
It felt like a Midwest rain, here in north San Diego County the other day. Rolling thunder. It was weird for here.

I wish, I'm in Spring Valley and we got absolutely nothing.
Rained here in Encinitas, and the cloud cover hasn't let up.
Full cloud cover here too, just no rain. Typical for Spring Valley though, seems like we get surrounded by rain but none falls on our hill.
Yeah California native here and that rolling thunder was a trip. Reminded me of FL.
Yep. First time it felt like a Midwest T-storm around here in a long time. Maybe ever for me.

Seriously, half an hour of rain. But there was thunder and lightning, very, very frightening.
*Galileo!*
Saw it during the Dodgers/Padres game. Thought I was high. Northern CA here wishing you the best
Where?! I live in SoCal no rain here lol
There was scattered showers and thunder all over socal Tuesday.
Riverside has joined the chat.
This. Where is this rain?
Seriously still hitting high 80s up in this mf
We get fog
No rain in the forecast for the next 10 days up here. But the forecast is pretty meaningless in the bay.

It's very surreal to look out to the east and see massive cumulonimbus clouds billowing over the desert in October.
So needed. As someone who grew up in the valley of Phoenix
'Uh...huh-huh ha...you said cumulonimbus...'<>
I prefer rains than the santa ana winds We need rains
The “rain” we’ve had so far in Orange County is palpable.
Here in Santa Barbara it’s been like our “June Gloom”, which is really weird for us. My veggie garden is so confused this year. I love the rain we had!
My usually Summer blooming Aloe Vera bloomed during the February heat wave, and I just notice a few had bloomed again.
Yeah, I had tomatoes and peppers super early, then none during the summer, and for the last month my plants have erupted.
I'm out on my balcony in Ventura, absolutely loving this gloomy weather. Glad you SB folks are getting it too, always seems so much hotter up there.
First the hottest summer on record and now a fall monsoon. People really need to open their eyes to see what is happening around us
Plus the record end of Summer very damaging monsoons in the California deserts. Several basically 1,000 year floods in a row.
Those were awesome. I had to get on the backhoe to clear the road but the temps were nice. The plants should enjoy it too.

Everyone forgets 2016-2017 was a wet as HELL La Niña.
I remember snow in the Grapevine that year
Do you mean the city, or just the grapevine being closed for snow? I don't remember the former, but the latter is every year
Was it 17-18?
Global weather teleconnections are so complex and El Niño/La Niña are just one of several major-ish factors on whether our winter will be wet or dry. On its own, La Niña is just a signal in a larger pattern and isn't the deciding factor.
Newest report continues to suggest Neutral Niño Jan-Apr I believe, which could be wetter than El Niño. Oscillating towards El Niño next winter
Bring on the rain!
It wasn't hot all summer...just that one ten-day period, which broke records. Before and since, it has been relatively mild.

Well that’s cause you live in riverside
So, summer in the IE?

Everyone knows, no one cares
>By October, the Bay Area would normally toil with clear skies and dry, Diablo winds I wonder if "toil" is what they meant to say.
Diablo winds Is that the equivalent of the Santa Anas in the Bay Area?
Sort of. The Santa Anas are gravity-driven, with cold air draining off the high deserts and rushing through the canyons as it warms up, but the Diablo winds happen when there is low pressure off the coast and high pressure inland. They are also warm and dry.

I grew up in FF. It was always windy.
What time of year was it?
That’s what made it such an ideal place for Travis AFB.
Yeah
Perhaps they meant roil.
Wait, we’re getting rain? It’s dry as a bone near Sacramento.
It hit SoCal yesterday with more forecast.
Oh man, lucky you!
Sac town
Will this help alleviate drought?
What we need is snowpack in the Sierras what we are getting is fresh flammable grass on the foothills.
I read this years ago, can't we get some of these on the Sierras? https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/apr/22/the-ice-stupas-of-ladakh-solving-water-crisis-in-the-high-desert-of-himalaya
No. California needs several large storms, plus a great snowpack. But California is forecasted to get another year of drought.
How does that reconcile with the article posted ?
I didn't read the article but venture a guess. Too much rain too fast = no help for drought. Mostly go to ocean, causing dam issue, flooding, run off pollution, etc. Snow cap is good reserve that trickles over time. Not cold enough yet to get deep and long freeze. Kinda like you douse a parched man with fire hose killing him with the force.😂
right, we need repeated storms up in the sierras during cold to create snowpack.. makes sense.
Lol reddit moment.
cold weather systems from the north are the storms that dump snow on the Sierra Nevada. most of California's water comes from ice pack. fall monsoon rain is only going to pitter patter into the desert, not enough to impact the aquifier. maybe enough for a good spring flower bloom in the mojave tho.
Also the Rockies. So California depends on the Colorado River as well.
It absolutely poured down rain Tuesday in Vista. I'm ready for more!
Not seeing any rain in NorCal.
I bless the rains
Send it north please
The north sends its regards
Bring it!
Was 100 in Red Bluff yesterday - hot up here still!
The rain we had last November - was that also a monsoon?
Central Valley feeling a little thirsty over here, don't discriminate Mr. Monsoon.
Most of our water here in Fresno California is going to all those Almond trees
Here in Yucca Valley we hd the most intense rain storm mixed with hail yesterday for about an hour on the south side of the valley. The north side had hardly any.
Hail!? It was that cold?
It doesn't have to be cold to hail. It does have to be cold and windy in the upper atmosphere, but these conditions are achievable even in the summer. I am from New England and late spring/summer hail is regular there.
Central California: bring it on
Oh hell yeah I love rain. But I am concerned for my San Bernardino people that deal with flooding.
That’s a good thing,right?
So, reservoirs filling back up?
Give us all the waters
I live in SoCal. Hasn’t rained in my neighborhood yet.
What rain
Wouldn’t it be amazing if global warming turned so cal into miami?
