WTF is with this bleeping weather?

[Tank]

we got a decent amount of rain today in glendale, including a couple of real nice cloud bursts that lasted several minutes. rain ends tonight but there's more in the forecast for thursday/friday.

[Angel Oracle]

Andddd central Orange County still has received MAYBE 1 and 1/4 inches of rain since October 1, almost assuredly will record a record low for yearly precipitation since 1877.

Never seen anything like this in going on 52 years living in SoCal, and there's not any climate change according to some? 

How can ONE stupidly massive high pressure ridge over the eastern Pacific stay static for months?????

[Angel Oracle]

Annddd yet another possible weekend rain system already is being downgraded to scattered showers.

Stupid stubborn massive high pressure ridge needs to be blown up!!!!   Two months of this crap!!!!

Things that will happen before solid rain happens here again:

Trump stops tweeting totally.

Sabres win SC.

Simon Cowell praises every competitor.

Or New Zealand, and actually given the dollar being worth 20% more than their money and their weather being truly four seasons without bitter cold or intense heat, it's a little intriguing for retirement.

we have a low pressure system moving in over the weekend with possible showers on saturday & sunday, and the potential for more showers next week. 

be patient, grasshopper.

That's what the weather forecasts said regarding the previous few alleged rain systems the past 2 months, all of which came in with not even a whimper thanks to the stupidly massive high pressure ridge over the eastern Pacific.    Is that thing ever leaving? 

Since January 10, maybe a total of a quarter inch of rain

I drove down to SD a few weeks ago and noticed a wall of clouds off the coast.  Is that what you are talking about when referring to the "massive high pressure ridge"?  Because i had never seen this before and i grew up here.

You guys down there should be getting something from the system that has dumped rain and snow up here for 2+ days. We've gotten around 5 inches mixed precip from it. Covered in snow here this morning. Surprised the power has stayed on.

Of course it comes as I'm in the process of moving. And on that subject there's this..

Almost impossible to qualify for immigration to NZ. They don't want anyone moving there.

Got some rain last night here in Bullhead City, Arizona

[fan_since79]

The stubborn high pressure ridge off the coast got tired of listening to AO's complaints and left.

Forecast is for rain Tuesday-Sat this week and also the middle of next week.

 

Edited March 12, 2018 by fan_since79

[Angel Oracle]

Not all of Tuesday through Saturday, but parts of that period, and accuweather (okay, not the most reliable gauge) predicts just 3/4 of an inch in that period for central O.C.

Maybe now the drought will FINALLY end in time to get normal rainfall next winter?

This is the gayest fucking forecast I've ever seen

[gotbeer]

Oh, in case @Angel Oracle you didn't get the message.  FU for this weekend AO.

The rain fizzled out here in Long Beach. There was nothing. They're saying it's coming this afternoon and evening, but I doubt it.

 

[Blarg]

This rain forecast is bullshit. I was supposed to get my Spitfire's wiring fixed but the shop said rain was going to mess that up since they can't leave the car outside. So it's postponed a week and it looks like for no reason.

White people problems...

[Blarg]

Yes, the kind that don't include a bail bondmans.

LOL

Serious rain and flooding on the way. Very unusual this late in the season:

A channel of rich moisture surging from the tropical Pacific in “Pineapple Express” fashion will be aimed squarely at the coastal terrain of Southern California from late Tuesday through Thursday, setting the stage for a prolonged and intense rain event. The 00Z Monday GFS model predicts that the atmosphere will be hauling 1.2” to 1.4” of precipitable water (the amount of moisture in a column above ground level) into coastal sections from San Diego to Santa Barbara. If those amounts come to fruition, they will challenge the region’s March records for atmospheric moisture going back to the 1940s.

Rains of 2-4” will be widespread from Tuesday through Thursday across coastal Southern California and nearby valleys, including the Los Angeles area, which has suffered through one of its driest winters on record thus far.
Amounts of 4-6” or more are possible at higher terrain, especially hillsides that face the incoming atmospheric river. This includes the scorched terrain of Ventura and Santa Barbara counties, where the largest wildfire ever recorded in California raged last December. On January 9, flash flooding driven by heavy rains across the fire-scarred hillsides killed 21 people, most of them in the hard-hit coastal city of Montecito. Rainfall in the burn area could be more intense and/or prolonged with this system than in January, so flash flood watches and evacuations are a strong possibility. A pre-evacuation advisory for burn areas was issued on Saturday by the Santa Barbara County Office of Emergency Management.
