Wednesday, October 21, 2026, 9:48 AM: As promised, the beautifully displayed satellite view shows a powerful El Niño-driven storm bringing very heavy rain from San Luis Obispo to Los Angeles counties over the next several hours. This storm will also affect Orange, San Diego, Riverside, and San Bernardino Counties, and it has already brought severe weather to Arizona, including Prescott, this morning.

Severe thunderstorms and coastal flooding are possible, with 0.80 to 2.5 inches of rain projected. There’s also a possibility of isolated tornadoes along the coastal zones, also known as waterspouts. #CAwx #AZwx #Californiastorms #ElNiño
