๐จ Cali’s Soaking Up More Rain: LA Hits Its Rain Goals for the Year ๐ง๏ธ๐จ
Cali’s been dealing with some serious storm action that’s been setting off all kinds of flash floods and mudslides, and guess what? There’s more rain on the way ๐ฆ๏ธ. On the flip side, looks like spring’s popping up early over in the Plains ๐ธ.
This latest storm, powered by what they’re calling an atmospheric river, has been dumping rain all over Cali since Monday, and it ain’t done yet. We’re talking about one more round of rain hitting on Wednesday morning ๐ฆ.
This storm’s been wild, y’all โ shutting down Santa Barbara Airport, flooding the streets of Los Angeles, and even knocking over trees that have been standing tall at Refugio State Beach for a century ๐ณ.
And get this, Downtown Los Angeles has already scooped up 14.38 inches of rain since the start of January. That’s wild because they usually only get about 14.26 inches for the whole year โ.
So, just two months into 2024, and LA’s already hit 100% of its yearly rain check ๐.
Right now, about 23 million folks in Cali are under a flood watch ๐จ, but the good news is most of these watches are set to wrap up by 10 a.m. PT โฐ.
After this last splash of rain does its thing in southern Cali, the weather’s expected to chill out and dry up for the rest of the day โ๏ธ.
As this storm heads east, it’s gonna bring some light snow showers to the mountains and a few rain showers to southern Nevada and Arizona ๐จ๏ธ, but they’re not sweating flash floods over there.
While Cali’s drying off, there’s another big story with spring-like temps hitting record highs across the Plains, Midwest, and Great Lakes ๐ก๏ธ.
With just 8 days left in what they call meteorological winter โ that spring season officially starts March 1 โ it’s feeling more like springtime, especially in the central U.S. on Wednesday and Thursday ๐ผ.
Temps on Wednesday are expected to be 15-25 degrees hotter than usual from the east side of the Rockies all the way to western New York state ๐.
Some spots in the southern Plains might even break some records with highs possibly hitting the 80s ๐. Cities like Amarillo, Midland, and Lubbock could be setting new records ๐ฅ.
The warm-up also means there’s a higher chance of wildfires from New Mexico to the southern Rockies and parts of the Texas Panhandle, with winds whipping up over 35 mph and the air staying dry, making it easy for fires to start and spread ๐ฅ๐จ.
Temps are gonna cool down to more normal levels by the weekend, but then another round of even warmer temps is coming early next week, possibly breaking a bunch of records across the Plains, Midwest, and Great Lakes ๐ก๏ธ๐.
With temps staying higher than usual across most of the country for the rest of February, it’s looking more likely that the contiguous U.S. might just record its warmest winter ever ๐๐.
According to the folks at Climate Central, winter’s the season that’s heating up the fastest all over the U.S., but it’s the Northeast and the Great Lakes areas that are really feeling the heat โ๏ธ๐ฅ.

๐จ California Drenched Again: Flood Alerts Continue as Los Angeles Hits Annual Rainfall Mark ๐ง๏ธ๐จ
Following another intense storm that triggered flash floods and mudslides across California, the state braces for yet another wave of rain ๐ฆ๏ธ. Meanwhile, an early spring is blooming over the Plains ๐ธ.
As the state grapples with a storm fueled by yet another atmospheric river, California is set for one more bout of rain on Wednesday morning ๐ฆ.
This formidable storm, unleashing rain, wind, and mountain snow since Monday, has led to the closure of Santa Barbara Airport, flash flooding in the Los Angeles area, and the toppling of century-old trees at Refugio State Beach ๐ณ.
With this latest downpour, Downtown Los Angeles has accumulated 14.38 inches of rain since January 1, surpassing its average annual rainfall of 14.26 inches โ.
Just two months into 2024, Los Angeles has already received 100% of its typical yearly rainfall ๐.
As of Wednesday morning, 23 million Californians remain under flood watch ๐จ, with most alerts expected to expire by 10 a.m. PT โฐ.
After this final spurt of rain passes through southern California, the weather is anticipated to clear up, making way for a drier remainder of the day โ๏ธ.
As the storm shifts eastward, it will bring some snow showers to mountainous areas and scattered rain showers to southern Nevada and Arizona ๐จ๏ธ, though flash flooding is not anticipated in these regions.
While California begins to dry off, another major weather headline for Wednesday is the surge of spring-like temperatures to record levels across the Plains, Midwest, and Great Lakes in the days ahead ๐ก๏ธ.
With just 8 days left of meteorological winter โ meteorological spring kicks off on March 1 โ the central U.S. will experience spring-like conditions on Wednesday and Thursday ๐ผ.
Temperatures on Wednesday are expected to soar 15-25 degrees above average from the eastern Rockies to western New York state ๐.
Record highs could be set on Wednesday in the southern Plains, with temperatures potentially hitting the 80s ๐. Cities like Amarillo, Midland, and Lubbock are on watch for possible record temperatures ๐ฅ.
The warm conditions also heighten the risk of wildfires from New Mexico to the southern Rockies and parts of the Texas Panhandle, as wind gusts over 35 mph and low humidity create ideal conditions for fires to ignite and spread ๐ฅ๐จ.
Temperatures will return to more seasonal norms over the weekend before another wave of even warmer temperatures early next week could set numerous record highs across the Plains, Midwest, and Great Lakes ๐ก๏ธ๐.
With above-average temperatures expected across much of the country for the remainder of February, the likelihood increases that the contiguous United States will record its warmest winter ever ๐๐.
According to Climate Central, winter is the fastest-warming season across the United States, with the Northeast and the Great Lakes regions warming the quickest โ๏ธ๐ฅ.
