1/2) Today's 12z runs of the Deterministic Models aren't in very good agreement regarding Rainfall amounts for the next System to move through #SoCal Friday PM through Sunday. As has been the case lately, the AI versions of these Models depict higher totals than the physics-based versions. Cont...

2/2) With that in mind, Ensemble Guidance remains a better tool to reference until the Deterministic Models fall into better agreement. (Euro EPS Ensemble shown here) #SoCal Trick-or-Treaters should expect a chance of showers Saturday evening, so probably a good idea to bring an umbrella along. #CAwx.

Extensive coastal flooding but otherwise typical (if cool) weather through Thu. Chances for rain increase through the weekend... likely light Fri-Sat, but a lot of uncertainty for the weekend forecast, especially going into Sun. Great week to keep an 👁️ on the forecast!

2/2) Latest runs of the Deterministic Models suggest the path of the upper Low will favor rainfall across Southern portions of #SoCal, but will need to watch later runs and high-resolution Models over the next few days as the path of the Low becomes more certain. #CAwx

Here's a generalized look at last week's storm totals for #SoCal. SLO, Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties were the big winners, as were the Eastern San Gabriel and San Bernardino Mountains. The next system to impact SoCal will arrive in time for the Weekend. #CAwx

Still looking for a wet #Halloween weekend for #SoCal. Best guess forecast right now: - 0.50-1.00 for coasts/valleys - 1.00-2.00 inches for foothills/mountains Of course, totals will be subject to change over the coming days. #CAwx

Heavy rain, lightning, small hail and flooding are possible with this cluster of storms, moving slowly to the southeast. Avoid this area if possible. #cawx #carain

NWS San Diego has issued new Coastal Flood Warning for near-record/record-breaking tides and possible widespread coastal inundation in SoCal Sun-Thu. And there's no king tides or major storms in the mix yet...just elevated sea levels from extreme El Nino plus long-term warming.

The next opportunity for unsettled weather across #SoCal will be in about a week from now, as another Low Pressure System approaches the region from the West. Long-range Ensemble Guidance is hinting at a strengthening Jet Stream during early November, so will definitely be keeping a close eye on how this develops. #CAwx

This weekend should be a pleasant one for #SoCal as offshore flow/Mild Santa Ana conditions sets up across the region. Coastal locations will see Temps in the 70's, with areas a little further inland seeing upper 70's & low 80's. Low Deserts will be the warmest locations with Temps in the mid to upper 80's. #CAwx
