What’s Blooming in SoCal? Coyote Bush (Baccharis pilularis) is going from an early blooming bee attractor to clouds of allergy inducing pollen fuzzies. So, if you have allergies or don’t want to be pulling 100,000 volunteers, cut that sucker back now. Trust me, it will come back. 😷

Almost there—the day that the sun lands on the lone oak before retreating for the night. 80°at 5pm but it’s fall so a different heat. We had a little rain so the hills are greening up for the best season of the year in SoCal.

Over the next few days, balmily warm temperatures will occur across western North America, including California (where temperatures into the 90s are likely in SoCal). Some record warm daytime temperatures are possible, & notably warm overnight temperatures will continue as well.

Then, by late week, pronounced ridge-trough pattern over continental U.S. will shift eastward & partially break down--likely opening the "storm door" along the West coast. A pretty wet period is likely thereafter, with moderate to even heavy rain extending all the way into SoCal.

Widespread rainfall, likely on order of at least a couple of inches, is likely later next week in Norcal; in SoCal, rain of some magnitude appears increasingly likely but there is wider plausible range (from light-moderate to rather heavy). But confidence is high in *some* rain.
