Western USA Weather, with a focus on Southern California.
80° Temps will continue across #SoCal into the MLK Weekend. Temperatures will then moderate somewhat as we head into next week, with high temps in the 70's across Metro Areas. However, the West Coast Ridge looks to continue bringing fair & dry weather through at least the next 7 days. #CAwx

Looking ahead to next week - A Ridge of High Pressure will dominate the West Coast, with temperatures warming into the upper 70's across #SoCal Metro areas by midweek, with some Valley locations into the 80's. West Coast Ridging will persist through at least the 20th of the month. #CAwx

Chilly overnight temperatures are on tap tonight for many locations across #SoCal, particularly the High Desert, as a passing "Inside Slider" system brings a cold, dry airmass and offshore winds to the region, with wind-sheltered inland Valley locations seeing low temps into the upper 30's. #CAwx

Today's NorCal downpours and additional local flooding will likely be last for a while, as a much less active pattern will develop along West Coast by mid week & continue into mid Jan. West Coast ridging will redevelop, / little precipitation for 10+ days. A needed break! #CAwx

HRRR Simulated Radar through Wednesday AM - The last storm of the series will drop South off the Coast from #SoCal before heading into Baja. A few showers are possible West of the Mountains. A better shot of rain for Southern OC and San Diego County as the system moves East Tuesday night. #CAwx

Composite Radar as of 4:10PM 1/4/26 - A soggy weekend continues across #SoCal as another disturbance bears down on the region. Some heavier cells are developing and moving into LA/OC Counties in advance of the main band of rain which is currently pushing Eastward into Ventura County.

Most locations across #SoCal have seen above average rainfall since the October 1st start of the Season. Many locations have seen 200% to over 300% of normal Precipitation.
A few weak/moderate systems will move through the region over the next 5 or 6 days before a drier pattern takes hold. #CAwx

Yet another major rain event will arrive in Southern CA on NYE & last into New Year's Day--and it could, once again, bring substantial impacts due to both timing on holiday and preceding exceptionally wet conditions. Peak impact will overlap exactly w/Rose Parade. [Thread] #CAwx

Composite Radar as of 11:30 AM 12/30/25 - A few sprinkles and light showers are surviving the trip through the dry lower atmosphere to reach the ground at various locations across #SoCal this morning. By tomorrow the moisture will deepen enough for widespread rainfall across the region. #CAwx

Latest trends in Model Guidance suggest an active storm pattern for the West Coast through the first several days of January. Some of these systems depicted will be coming from the Northwest which would involve a colder airmass than the systems we've been seeing in #SoCal during December. #CAwx

Our Santa Ana conditions will give way to the next round of unsettled weather across #SoCal on Wednesday, as a Low Pressure System approaches the area from the Southwest bringing more rainfall through New Year's Day, followed by a Cold Front in time for the weekend. #CAwx
