#BREAKING ๐Ÿšจ NEW WEATHER UPDATE
COAST-TO-COAST WEATHER UPDATE: BIG CHANGES COMING! Followers - A lot to discuss on both sides of the country. We have two very different weather stories developing, with a pattern change taking shape across the West and a developing Nor'easter bringing a prolonged period of rain to the Northeast. Let's break it down. WEST COAST: THE PATTERN IS FINALLY CHANGING After what seems a long time duration of unusually warm temperatures, offshore flow, Santa Ana winds, and bone-dry conditions across California, we're finally seeing a change.The ridge that has been responsible for the warmth is beginning to shift east, allowing a deeper trough to dig into the eastern Pacific. This will open the door for multiple storm systems to move into the West Coast beginning Friday and continuing into early next week. Pacific Northwest: Seattle and Portland will see a return to more consistent rainfall, with several frontal systems moving through. The coast will see the strongest winds and heaviest precipitation, with additional rain possible into early next week. Northern California: San Francisco and surrounding areas are looking at a decent soaking Friday, with additional systems following. The Sierra Nevada will also see accumulating snow, with snow levels gradually dropping as colder air moves in. Southern California: The first system will be somewhat different. An upper-level low dropping south toward Baja will pull Pacific moisture into Southern California late Thursday night into Friday. A second system follows Friday night into Saturday, bringing another round of showers. This isn't necessarily a major storm, but it's a welcome change from the heat, dry conditions, and fire-weather concerns we've been dealing with. PRELIMINARY RAINFALL ESTIMATES thru early next week: ๐ŸŒง๏ธ Seattle: 0.50โ€“1.00" ๐ŸŒง๏ธ Portland: 0.50โ€“1.25" ๐ŸŒง๏ธ San Francisco: 0.50โ€“1.00" ๐ŸŒง๏ธ Downtown Los Angeles: 0.25โ€“0.50" ๐ŸŒง๏ธ Orange County: 0.50โ€“1.00" (locally higher near the coast) ๐ŸŒง๏ธ San Diego: 0.50โ€“1.00" (locally higher near the coast) These are preliminary metro-area estimates, and localized amounts could vary considerably. Coastal Southern California has some potential for heavier downpours, particularly near San Diego and southern Orange County. The Sierra will also be watching this closely, with colder air arriving behind the initial systems. Snow levels are TBD at this point, but will have an update on that tomorrow. NORTHEAST: NOR'EASTER DEVELOPING Now let's head east. A developing area of low pressure will move across the Mid-Atlantic Thursday before strengthening offshore and tracking northeastward. This will bring prolonged rainfall to much of the Northeast Thursday into Friday, with some lingering precipitation into Saturday. The biggest story for the major metropolitan areas will be rain, gusty winds, and a noticeable drop in temperatures behind the system. PRELIMINARY RAINFALL ESTIMATES: ๐ŸŒง๏ธ New York City: 0.50โ€“1.50" ๐ŸŒง๏ธ Philadelphia: 0.50โ€“1.00" ๐ŸŒง๏ธ Washington DC: 0.50โ€“1.00" ๐ŸŒง๏ธ Boston: 0.50โ€“1.25" Localized heavier amounts are possible, especially around the NYC metro. โ„๏ธ FIRST FLAKES OF THE SEASON? Here's something else to watch. As colder air wraps in behind the system, portions of interior New York and Pennsylvania, including Central Pennsylvania, could see their first snowflakes of the season. We're not talking about a significant accumulating snowstorm at this point, but some wet snowflakes mixed in or a few passing snow showers are certainly possible in the colder interior locations. Higher elevations across the interior Northeast and New England will also need to watch for some wet snow. The major I-95 cities should predominantly see rain. Minor coastal flooding is also possible around portions of Long Island and the Connecticut shoreline during high tides. THE BIGGER PICTURE Two coasts, two different weather stories. The West Coast is transitioning toward a more active Pacific storm pattern, while the Northeast is getting its first real taste of colder weather this season. For Southern California, I'm happy to finally see some rain in the forecast. We desperately need the break from the heat, wind, and extremely dry conditions. However, don't confuse one or two storm systems with a guaranteed wet winter. There is still plenty to watch in the longer-range pattern. As always, I'll be watching the trends, not chasing every model run. I have posted the @NWSLosAngeles and @NWSSanDiego graphics, along with the upper level temps, and a snap shot into the long range, as trough looks to rebuild and rebuild for the next 2 weeks, straight into Thanksgiving out west. If you have missed my weather outlook pinned, here it is. I have 2 parts to it - xitter.twitterapi.xyz/realwxforecast/status/โ€ฆ For resources for the nor'easter back east, I have posted their handles below: @PAWeatherPlus, @nynjpaweather @nymetrowx More later..... #Weather #WeatherUpdate #CaliforniaWeather #SoCalWeather #PNW #NorEaster #NYCWeather #PennsylvaniaWeather #Snow #Rain #SierraNevada #WinterWeather #RealWXForecast #noreaster #socal #larain #wxtwitter #nywx #pawx #cawx
