Live met news for Cali and beyond. No hype.

[StormHQ ☈ @StormHQwx]

Hurricane Rachel has been getting ripped apart by shear and will make a hard turn towards the NE in the next few days as it will get picked up by the subtropical jet. This will bring some impacts to the Southwestern U.S including California, but by then this will likely be remnants of Rachel.

Current model guidance is 50/50 on where exactly this will go from California to Baja California Sur, but for areas that it will impact, gusty winds and some heavy rainfall will be possible this weekend.

Forecast cone for Hurricane #Rachel now shows predicted landfall as a tropical storm or strong tropical depression. Most models still have landfall south of the border.

Absolutely unbelievable deviation here and we are still climbing.

Breaking News!

For the first time in recorded history, the Niño 3.4 sea-surface temperature (SST) is above 30.0°C, reaching a preliminary SST of 30.06°C on October 5th.

The Niño 3.4 SST anomaly is now 3.41°C above the 1991-2020 baseline.

Everything is not fine.

As California anticipates even more effects from the record-setting El Niño, officials try to prepare for potentially historic rainfall and other effects.

[The Press Democrat @NorthBayNews]

The move came ahead of what’s expected to be record-strength El Niño winter, with higher sea levels and greater risk of damaging floods and coastal erosion. “Nobody really knows how to prepare for it right now because we’ve never seen… https://t.co/GVqMZHD1CO

As climate models start giving us seasonal data, some pretty impressive patterns are emerging! This thread is a great read on the topic.

[Daniel Swain @Weather_West]

Just did some number crunching using latest (Oct 1) ECMWF seasonal data, and I must say that I've never seen such high predictive confidence in a very wet California winter. This is a truly extraordinary forecast amid a record-strength El Niño event. [Thread: please read to end.]

@bryan1anderson Of course I've also heard people testify of Satan's manifestations to them, and of neutering pigs...so I have a ways to go

[Arkstorm Tracker @arkstormnews]

@bryan1anderson I think there are version people who can get knowledge and insight even during the rough patches. I'm not one of them, but I hope to be someday

[Arkstorm Tracker @arkstormnews]

@bryan1anderson I feel like the Republican party has almost no charity or empathy, the Democrats have almost no moral compass, both are now into spending wildly over budget, and both are so blatantly hypocritical it is depressing

[388th Fighter Wing @388fw]

After four years, we're at full strength. Our Airmen, along with the @419fw are planning a combat power exercise tomorrow at @HAFB where we will launch dozens of F-35A Lightning IIs within a condensed period of time.

@united Pretty please put this feature on more flights; I'll love you forever! One of the earliest memories I have was on a United 737-300 and listening on channel 9 to the cockpit.

[Arkstorm Tracker @arkstormnews]

@bryan1anderson @DroLance It's already changed how I look at trucks. They all look old to me now.

[Arkstorm Tracker @arkstormnews]

@KSL5TV pretty amazing local hero here, and she succeeded! https://t.co/p8Ik7sC1Ni

[Arkstorm Tracker @arkstormnews]

@united This was such a cool feature! I'll be loyal forever if you have this available more often. As a pilot I loved it, way better IFE than offerings by rivals

[Arkstorm Tracker @arkstormnews]

@F35Demo team you looked great yesterday!

@AVweb I'm having too much fun making my dream plane over here https://t.co/Gi6ZOXj17v

@iCyclone I'm jealous my little bro gets to ride this out on the northern tip of Taiwan (Yilan), even if it isn't a gorgeous specimen!

[Arkstorm Tracker @arkstormnews]

@iCyclone Actually not to shabby on Taiwan Radar

@bryan1anderson Lastly it often takes apple a while to catch up to Samsung in hardware

[Arkstorm Tracker @arkstormnews]

@bryan1anderson It's just the little things like navigating backwards, selecting text, etc. I'm sure I'd get used to it. But the premium on hardware and the fact I've built up quite the app arsenal on android, I'd have to buy them all over again.
