Finally, NOAA SPC has indicated for rare third day in a row that risk of severe thunderstorms continues along CA coast as well as Sac. Valley. Additional strong wind gusts & torrential downpours in squall lines is greatest risk, but brief tornadic spin-ups remain possible. #CAwx
Although atmospheric river portion of CA storm has ended, a much colder & unstable/sheared airmass will continue to bring Intermittent waves of strong to severe t-storms--w/widespread strong wind gusts, scattered flash flood/isolated tornado potential, plus heavy mtn snow. #CAwx
Yes, it is raining very hard. #rain #CAwx #LosAngeles

air pollution in the LA basin for days and days, which is not due to special emissions but due to (normal for this time of year) cold foggy air mass trapping the pollution.
