Ventura County is upstaffing fire crews for rain on Monday/Tues/Wednesday in case of flash flooding. I blame this on my removal of my vinyl rain gutters two weekends ago. #rain #CAwx #flooding #VenturaCounty

Significant pattern change this week will bring much cooler weather & widespread rain/isolated thunderstorms to portions of U.S. West Coast (esp. far NorCal and Oregon)! This will be substantially wildfire-mitigating in NW/far N CA & central/southern Oregon. [1/4] #CAwx #ORwx

This rain will help substantially tamping down fire risk in OR & NW CA, though some existing fires in heavy timber will likely continue burning. No rain is expected in Central/Southern CA for foreseeable future, so this will not affect fire season down south. [3/4] #CAwx #ORwx

By mid-September, warmer & drier weather will likely return (especially in CA) as ridging rebuilds. Still, given extraordinary amount of recent lightning & subsequent fires in recent days, we are lucky that no major dry wind event is in forecast. [4/4] #CAwx #ORwx #WAwx

In California widespread soaking rain is likely along North Coast and northern Mountains (plus northern Sierra), with at least a modest chance of showers as far south as SF Bay Area/Sacramento region (though could still stay dry here). Similar in southern OR. [2/4] #CAwx #ORwx

Widespread totals over one half inch are depicted across far northern and northwestern California as well as most of southern Oregon, with lesser amounts north into the Pacific Northwest and as far south as the Tahoe region. Little or no precipitation is depicted south of the Interstate 80 corridor.

Due to dual dry/wet thunderstorm outbreaks in NorCal and Socal (along with numerous lightning-sparked fires) unfolding this morning, I'm about to go live on YouTube to discuss unfolding events and potential impacts (w/radar/satellite tour). #CAwx #CAfire https://www.youtube.com/live/k4jNxjA99RE
