11a PSPS watch update: PSPS determinations can change at any time based on weather conditions. The criteria for determining a shutoff, which must be met concurrently, are persistent drought conditions, wind gusts 45 mph and higher, and relative humidity below 45%. We analyze data from weather stations and cameras near our infrastructure in high-risk areas with potential for fire spread. Wind speeds at higher elevations can be significantly stronger than those experienced in nearby communities. For more information and maps, call our PSPS hotline at 1-844-483-8666 toll-free or go to [https://t.co/2SjhSnBp9B]. https://t.co/NA4w5z3mkd

Confidence continues to grow surrounding a wet, and possibly very wet, period developing in CA (especially NorCal) by Friday. While a wide range of outcomes is possible, more than a few ensemble members are depicting quite impressive rainfall for Nov.

So...things are ramping up!

Spotted today in midtown Kansas City. Unfortunately, on some level, you do kind of gotta hand it to this guy

[Cascadia Fire Has No Season @barkflight]

I happened upon this location, and it brought back a lot of memories while it was open.

[Cascadia Fire Has No Season @barkflight]

There *was* one of these in Downey, Calif., but apparently it closed.

We randomly found a Pizza Hut Classic in no where Indiana. I might move here.

[Daniel Swain @Weather_West]

I've crunched the latest Nov numbers, and nothing has changed regarding the anticipated effects of this year's extreme El Niño event in California. There remains very strong evidence that the odds are heavily tilted toward an unusually wet, or perhaps even extremely wet, winter.

[NWS Los Angeles @NWSLosAngeles]

A series of disturbances will bring periods of light to moderate rain to the area late Thursday through the middle of next week. Adjust plans as needed to avoid wet and cooler conditions during this time. #CAwx #SoCal
