Alright folks, our region will see additional systems moving in next week. Looking ahead to the second week, it appears this pattern could continue. Most data suggest the potential for a stronger system that might bring substantial accumulation to California, though that remains uncertain. Southern California is likely to see some activity, but generally lighter than central and northern California. Nevada and Utah could receive a decent amount of rain, though amounts may vary since we are still far out. Arizona will likely see the least, although some areas could experience heavier precipitation. Across the region, snow is expected to accompany these storm systems, benefiting many areas, while Arizona will primarily see rain. I will keep you all updated and am looking forward to more rain and snow. we know that means some stormy conditions, so lets stay prepared. #cawx #utwx #nvwx #azwx #storms #weather

California is experiencing its most severe marine heat wave on record.
Nearly 90 percent of California’s coastal waters up to 50 miles offshore are experiencing at least a severe Category 3 marine heat wave.
Within that zone, marine heat waves have reached extreme Category 4 levels for 61 percent of the ocean and beyond-extreme Category 5 levels for a further 22 percent, breaking previous records by large margins.

No joke, leaving your house and returning home safely 24/7 is something to give God thanks for.

The switch from rain to snow has finally taken place along I-80 in the Sierra Nevada. Chain controls are active (R2) EB Kingvale to Truckee, WB Donner Lake Interchange to Rainbow, trucks min.
#QuickMap for updates and real-time information.
❄️Sierra travel impacts continue tonight; peak snowfall until 8-10 PM. A break Sat–Sun afternoon, then colder storms return Sun night-midweek. Passes could see 4-8" Mon. A colder, more potent midweek storm could bring heavy snow to the Sierra w/ light snow to W.NV valley floors.

🚨 TRAFFIC ALERT 🚨
We are currently holding BOTH eastbound and westbound traffic on I-80 over Donner Summit due to multiple spinouts and hazardous winter driving conditions.
We say it every year… come prepared, carry chains, and slow down.

An update on Buoy 46002 approximately 275 miles west of southern Oregon: 47 ft significant wave heights. This is a big swell! Please do not go near the ocean when the swell reaches the coast! 30-40 ft breakers tonight on NW California beaches.
We discussed these waves on November 1st and again on November 10th, noting that the data remained consistent. Over the next few hours, intense waves are expected to reach the coastal areas. Stay cautious and avoid approaching the waves, and never turn your back on them. #cawx #california
You all remember our discussion on wave conditions for this weekend. The forecast remains steady, with very large waves expected. Starting Thursday, initial effects may become noticeable, but by Friday through the weekend, waves could exceed 25 ft along Northern to Central California, could they reach the coast? it's possible. Further south, near the Channel Islands, waves may reach 15-20 ft. The Southern Bight may also see some activity, though less intense. Swells are expected from the WNW, possibly NW, accompanied by windy conditions with gusts of 20-30 mph, potentially stronger over the waters. #cawx #california

Is it over? Not quite... dry weather in most areas today with isolated, light showers on-and-off. A second more widespread band sweeps through tonight, but this will also be light. No thunderstorm chances! Most of Saturday after the early morning will be dry.

I want to clarify that Southern California will receive rain from these upcoming systems, with amounts varying from storm to storm, so there’s no need for concern at this time. #cawx #california
