Under a resilient ridge, prolonged tule fog episode brings cold and damp weather to the Central Valley but anomalously warm/dry weather elsewhere - Weather West
An increasingly resilient ridge keeps California dry, but with markedly different daily weather in dense tule fog vs non-fog zones, following a very wet and relatively warm autumn Well, the final numbers are now in and they reflect what everyone has been talking about in Southern California: it genuinely was historically wet this fall in

A warmup will begin across California, including #SoCal this weekend and continue into next week.
Long range Guidance is offering some hints of an unsettled pattern setting up around the middle of the month, but way too early to have any confidence in that just yet. #CAwx

An "Inside Slider" system will pass to the East of #SoCal on Wednesday. There is a *very* slight chance for some drizzle along Costal areas from LA/OC down to SD County in the morning. The main effect from this system will be #SantaAna winds through the Canyons and Passes Wednesday & Thursday. #CAwx

After this week, uncertainty reigns. A major stratospheric warming event and subsequent stratospheric polar vortex disruption *may* cause a pattern change-up in early Dec, but details (and even big picture) remain quite murky. In general, looks potentially active in California...

*Preliminary* #SoCal Rainfall Totals for the Storm System last Thursday through Sunday - Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties definitely took the brunt of the system, with the Santa Ynez range and the higher elevations of Ventura County really cashing in.

1/3) A quick peek of some of this evening's latest High-Resolution Guidance for Rainfall amounts between now and Sunday PM for #SoCal:
- While not as crazy as what some of the Deterministic models have been putting out lately, these amounts will still be adding to whatever has already fallen.
