Axiom-4 will be returning to Earth, with splashdown ~2:31AM. It will be approaching on a similar reentry path to the CRS-32 mission that generated a sonic boom on 5/24.
We are looking at low clouds and fog around the area at the time, so view of the reentry plasma trail might limited.

It took some time, but we managed to get to clearing across most (but not all) Inland areas. Ventura County is still hanging onto the clouds right now.
Deeper marine layer today meant the clouds/fog pushed farther inland. Here's a clearing comparison between yesterday and today. @nbcla.com

California Snowpack Update ❄️
Apr 1 is considered to be the "peak" of the state's snowpack, which acts as a water bank account through the next several months. As snow melts, the runoff is captured by a network of reservoirs.
This year we are at 96% of average, still considered a healthy snowpack.

What a difference 1 day makes...
We are much cooler across the region today compared to yesterday at this time. Cooling continues into the weekend, along with drizzle and light rain chances.
Next week looks cool as well. @nbcla.com #LosAngeles #CAwx #SouthernCalifornia

Santa Ana Winds helped to push coastal temperatures up today...while inland areas stayed level or cooled a few degrees compared to yesterday.
Everyone will get much cooler tomorrow as the pattern starts to shift back to more of what we would see during winter.

The next round of heavier rainfall is about to move into LA County. This is the cold front sweeping across the region from west to east.
This will likely bring the heaviest rainfall of the day, and our concern for possible flooding problems as well as mudslides/debris flows near the burn scars.

Current conditions near the #PalisadesFire, gusts are pushing the fire along fast, leading to long range spotting.
Stay out of the area and listen to all official evacuation orders. Have your go bag ready!
If you see fire approaching or don't feel safe, LEAVE!

The wind story is a challenge because of the addition of another forecast element: mountain waves. There is support in the atmosphere to cause damaging wind gusts, in excess of 80mph, in communities near the Mountains and Foothills. This would be overnight Tue into Wed. @nbcla.bsky.social

High Wind Warnings are also posted due to the potential of wind gusts of 60-80+ mph, especially in areas near Mountains and Foothills (all of the Valleys, including some typically wind sheltered areas)
Downed trees and power outages are likely. @nbcla.bsky.social

Red Flag Warning has been issued for nearly the entire region (including all of LA County) due to the extreme fire danger presented by the strong winds and very dry fuels.
Any new fires have the potential to grow rapidly, burn intensely, and be very difficult to control. @nbcla.bsky.social
