I'm not even sure where to start, but expect a lot of posts today given that there is so much to update you on…

First things first, we will be going over the El Niño situation, followed by many, many other topics that I know you guys are dying for me to talk about… confirmed via DMs…

Current Update on El Niño:
We are already transitioning from a neutral phase into the starting phases of El Niño.
The Niño 3.4 region, which is how we measure sea surface temperatures (SST), has already reached +0.9°C. It is continuing to rise and will likely hit +1.5°C within months. Weather patterns are already starting to show changes, and they will continue to shift rapidly as these temperatures continue to rise…

Impacts can already be seen:
🌀 A very active hurricane season across the Pacific.
🌬️ A split jet stream, with the southern branch currently dipping into our area and the northern branch staying further north.

We will continue to monitor further impacts. As bigger updates come out WITHOUT THE HYPE I will be sure to share them with you all…

🌀 TROPICS ARE BECOMING ACTIVE 🌀

The Pacific tropics are waking up early, a clear sign of how busy this summer could get. Keep in mind it is only the end of May.

Once steering patterns lock in, they can pull these storms that form west of Mexico northward. These are major moisture producers that we will watch closely for impacts like gusty winds, heavy rain, and lightning.

🛰️ On the Satellite:
A large messy area of storms has formed far southwest of Mexicos Baja Peninsula. Conditions are ripe for slow growth, and it will likely strengthen into a tropical depression by midweek. It is currently moving west northwest at 10 to 15 mph across the eastern Pacific.

Scattered Severe T-Storms Possible Across the Pacific Northwest on May 28th, 2026

Damaging winds large hail and isolated tornadoes are possible this afternoon through early evening across northeastern Oregon southeastern Washington and western Idaho

Dallas seriously getting hard with widespread lightning activity. Track it now on the ZoneWatch app second by second.

[Sina Moghaddami @sin_mogh]

AZ is already seeing pre-monsoon storms, hinting at a wild season ahead! ⛈️

Forget the "super El Niño" hype the real action starts in August. Record Pacific water heat near CA means massive moisture, instability, and heavy rain to work with... this is especially with tropical activity as we go into the summer period. Regardless, an active pattern coming up.

Coming soon to ZoneWatch web, followed by the app in the coming weeks: NEXRAD Level II Super-Res Site Selection Radar. Stay tuned for updates.

[Sina Moghaddami @sin_mogh]

Isolated T-storms recently impacted the mountains of LA and San Bernardino, the High Deserts, and surrounding regions (Already mentioned on SCWF).

ZoneWatch Lightning was on the job, tracking every strike with real-time mapping and CG/CC classification. Stay tuned as we're preparing to launch a sophisticated, proprietary lightning prediction model to give ZoneWatch users an even greater edge without future technology.

These storms are expected to diminish this evening and lingering moisture is expected to move out by tonight.

Update as of 9:11am PT: here is the current radar from ZoneWatch… rain showers as stated with nothing severe or overhyped… a few heavier showers embedded with a couple of areas getting windy conditions as well.

Arizona and surrounding areas, your update comes next.

[Sina Moghaddami @sin_mogh]

Other sources seriously need to stop overhyping this event for SoCal on Sunday morning. Heavy showers, wind, and cooler weather? Yes. A possible embedded t-storm? Also yes. Severe storms with major impacts similar to NorCal? Not even close…

ZoneWatch already reporting on it and our ZWCast is updating any heavy cells hours before impact only alerting you if it’s necessary…

⚠️ STRONG BAND OF STORMS EXPECTED TO SLAM THE BAY AREA TONIGHT

Summary: A powerful line of heavy rain and intense storms will push onshore later today, taking direct aim at the Bay Area down through the Central Coast.

Impact: Expect torrential downpours, localized roadway flooding, and very dangerous driving conditions for the evening commute. Convective storms could also bring frequent lightning as well.

⏰ Timing:
Storms to slam the coast and move inland right around 6:00 PM PT tonight.

[Sina Moghaddami @sin_mogh]

I am tracking a potent cutoff low set to impact the West Coast late next week. Timing is subject to change with these systems, but a blocking ridge to the north will likely keep the heaviest rain over California and the Desert Southwest.

The Impacts:
Heavy Rain: Primary threat for CA with urban flooding risks.
Flash Flooding: High risk for desert washes in NV and AZ.
High Peaks Snow: Restricted to elevations above 8000 ft.
Thunderstorms: Isolated storms with gusty winds possible.

Peak Timing:
Wed thru Thu: Northern and Central CA.
Friday: Peak impact for Southern CA and Vegas.
Sat thru Sun: Rain shifts into Phoenix and Utah.

While general apps give a rough idea, ZoneWatch provides granular hour by hour breakdowns to help you pinpoint the best outdoor windows.
