Totals may shift, but there is a signal for significant rain and snow. A few areas, such as Southern California, still show some disagreement, but we’ll monitor updates closely as Friday approaches. You can see here there showing rain across for arizona. #cawx #utwx #nvwx #azwx

Take this with a grain of salt, but there is potential for significant rain accumulation from these systems. By Friday and into the weekend, Northern California could see 1–3" of rain, especially along the coast and some inland areas, while Central California may receive 0.2–1.8"+. Southern California has a chance for showers and storms on Friday, though forecasts vary, with certain spots potentially seeing 0.15–2". Mountainous areas are likely to receive higher amounts. This pattern will continue for several days with additional storm systems bringing both rain and snow. Snowfall is expected over the Sierras and other higher northern elevations, with totals potentially exceeding 1 ft, not including accumulation from the coming days into the weekend and early next week. I’ll keep you updated. Across our region, Nevada, Utah, and Arizona are showing lighter activity, though a few areas may receive slightly more. Arizona on the other hand shows agreement on more than what we see in this image. #cawx #utwx #nvwx #azwx

A powerful swell will bring 25 to 35 foot breaking waves to northwest California beaches starting Friday afternoon through Saturday morning. Powerful waves can rush far up beaches, wash over rocks & jetties, and erode at coastal bluffs. Stay back from the ocean this weekend.

Seasonably warm high temperatures continue through Thursday, before noticeably cooler temperatures arrive Friday through the weekend as weather systems move through the region. #CAwx

Seeing that the pattern continues to favor rain, it confirms that my forecasts have been accurate. #cawx #utwx #nvwx #azwx
We remain dry for now besides northern and central portions of CA experiencing rain, and once the current low-pressure system moves out, a drier pattern will dominate this week as a ridge of high pressure steers most systems away. Looking ahead to possibly the second week, the ridge may break down, allowing several storm systems to move in, potentially bringing back-to-back precipitation events. This could mark the beginning of a wetter period. As I mentioned earlier, we are gradually seeing these patterns start to unfold. #cawx #utwx #azwx #nvwx

Heads up! A pattern change is on the way! Unsettled conditions are expected over the weekend lasting into next week. Details are still being worked out, but a return to cooler conditions with periodic gusty winds and precip chances can be expected. #cawx #nvwx #azwx

Today's highs and tonight's lows, take a moment to check the color scale and identify your local temperatures. It’s a useful skill to understand the weather in your area. #cawx #utwx #nvwx #azwx

Temperatures across Utah and southwest Wyoming will again run about 5°F above seasonal normals with mostly clear and dry conditions. That's above average in terms of temperature, but is it above average weather for you? Let us know. #utwx #wywx

Today's fire risk is high and will escalate by Friday, until some locations receive showers. Stay weather aware, as Fire Weather Watches may be issued due to windy and dry conditions, although incoming rain could mitigate some of the dryness. #cawx #nvwx #utwx #azwx

You all remember our discussion on wave conditions for this weekend. The forecast remains steady, with very large waves expected. Starting Thursday, initial effects may become noticeable, but by Friday through the weekend, waves could exceed 25 ft along Northern to Central California, could they reach the coast? it's possible. Further south, near the Channel Islands, waves may reach 15-20 ft. The Southern Bight may also see some activity, though less intense. Swells are expected from the WNW, possibly NW, accompanied by windy conditions with gusts of 20-30 mph, potentially stronger over the waters. #cawx #california
By the end of next weekend, a powerful Alaskan low will be positioned to our northwest, tightening the pressure gradient and bringing strong winds over the coastal waters. This will build seas to 10-12 ft offshore, with potential for even larger swells. I will keep you updated. #cawx #california

Towards the end of the week (13th–14th), there is a potential for fronts to move through, bringing not only rain but also a notable chance of snowfall. While it is still early for specifics, current data suggests that Northern to Central California may experience the bulk of this activity. Southern California could also see some precipitation due to southeasterly motion. A deep trough will guide moisture across the region, potentially affecting Nevada, Utah, and Arizona as well. Updates will follow. #cawx #utwx #nvwx #azwx
