California State Weather | The Southwest Four |

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

Storms are developing in southern Arizona and may bring heavy downpours, lightning, and the potential for small hail with the stronger cells. As the day progresses, Utah and Nevada can expect showers, isolated storms, and snowfall. #azwx #utwx #nvwx

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

Scattered showers across several areas, with some moving toward the coast. Thunderstorms are possible in the southern Bight and northwest California. Stay weather aware overnight. #cawx #california

Along the coast and inland, there is potential for flooding, mudslides further north, and runoff or debris flow. Please stay alert to weather conditions and report any hazards you encounter. #cawx #california

NWS has added a Winter Weather Advisory and could expand further north especially for those higher elevations. #utwx #utah **NWS Salt Lake City UT 1:09 AM Fri Nov 13 2026 Winter Weather Advisory issued November 13 at 1:09AM MST until November 14 at 11:00AM MST by NWS Salt Lake City UT * WHAT...Snow expected.

Models have been very consistent, which is reassuring. Most of the rain will impact Northern California and coastal areas, while snow is spreading across the region, with Utah seeing significant accumulation at higher elevations. The Sierra Nevadas are going to experience substantial winter storm activity. Gusty conditions are potentially creating hazardous situations in northern and central California, as well as much of Nevada. Commuters, especially those in high-profile vehicles, should exercise caution tonight and tomorrow, as strong winds could pose a tipping risk. Elevated areas are likely to experience particularly intense gusts. Most of our region will experience some type of precipitation. #cawx #nvwx #utwx #azwx

Late tonight, aided by a cutoff low, there is a slight chance of isolated showers and potential storms across the Channel Islands and southern Bight. Conditions are slightly favorable, but no significant impacts are expected at this time. I’ll keep you all updated. #cawx #california

If you live out west check this map. This is not just one warning, this is a whole system hitting 4 states at once. 🩷 California is getting hit the hardest in the Sierra. That pink is Winter Storm Warning from around Susanville down through Reno and Carson City and all the way through Mammoth Lakes to Bishop and Lone Pine. That means heavy snow, low visibility and chain controls likely on the passes. 🟨 That gold strip along the Sierra front is High Wind Warning. Gusts will be strong enough to push cars around, especially high profile vehicles. 🟫 That big tan area is Wind Advisory. It covers a ton of northern Nevada and northeast California. Winnemucca, Elko, Battle Mountain, Ely, Fallon, all in it. Gusty, dusty, tough driving, especially on I 80. 🟩 That green along the California coast is Flood Watch. And that 🩵 light blue along the southern coast is the coastal flood and high surf side of this. Rain plus wind plus surf all at once. 🟦 That blue in the Sierra around Mammoth and Bishop is the Winter Weather Advisory side, so a little less than the pink warning but still messy travel. Nevada is basically all wind except for Reno and Carson City where it flips to winter. Utah is getting clipped by the same wind in the west around Wendover and Delta, but not much snow on this map for Utah. Arizona is the quiet one here, outside of a small spot near Gila Bend most of AZ is clear. Bottom line, if you are in the Sierra do not travel unless you have to. If you are in northern Nevada or northeast California secure loose stuff and expect power flickers from the wind. If you are on the CA coast watch for localized flooding and high surf. Drop your city in the comments and I will tell you what color you are in. #CaliforniaWeather #NevadaWeather #UtahWeather #ArizonaWeather #WinterStormWarning #WindAdvisory #SierraNevada #Reno #MammothLakes #Bishop #LakeTahoe #WeatherUpdate
