We are quickly going down the road of being sent back to the proverbial stone ages of weather forecasting in the CONUS.

People take for granted how bad forecasts truly used to be & weren’t alive to remember a time in the distant past (19th and early 20th centuries) when it was very commonplace for many hundreds or thousands to die from a “surprise” event

This is horrible news for numerical weather prediction in this country.
The data that comes from these key parts of our weather enterprise saves lives.

A deep analysis of the Palisades fire evacuation paints a chaotic scenario: As the fire roared toward homes, major escape routes were gridlocked before the first evacuation orders were given.

Trump just proved that he knows even less about air traffic control than he does about California wildfires. #planecrash

Here's about how much rain we've seen from this low pressure system so far. Many areas are in the 0.30-0.50 inch range, with isolated pockets reaching 1 inch or higher. Keep in mind at high elevations, snow is expected so amounts will vary for those regions. #socal #CArain

[California Department of Conservation @CalConservation]

Those who live near or below hillsides recently burned by wildfire should be aware that intense rainfall increases the possibility of flash floods & debris flows.

Be aware, be prepared, & take action. @CAGeoSurvey

New Rainfall Totals for this Weekend: This will be a long duration event w/rain spread out over many hours, so rain will generally be beneficial. However, issues in & near recent burn scars are possible. If you live near a burn scar, follow guidance from local authorities. cawx
