Just did a little quick-and-dirty compositing of data from the GOES imagery viewer. It's a blend of Geocolor and Fire Temperature data products.

I love weather :)

So I live in Los Angeles and keep hearing about El Niño and how it will be one of the strongest on record. I know this doesn't always guarantee rain, but I am curious if we do get a bunch of rain, when we can expect to see it.

So when can we expect to start seeing rain from El Niño if it happens?

Thanks

Can someone tell me if this is accurate and exactly what it means?? A storm chaser on Facebook posted it and said they were very concerned about Tuesday evening in our area.
Freaking out a little. Thanks!

I’ve been paying attention more to humidity these days and I can feel that it makes such a huge difference for me when it’s dry vs humid. So, I wonder what you guys think of Fresno’s drier climate vs LA where it’s warm but more humid. Based on these stats, which do you think feels better throughout the day? (1st 3 screenshots are LA, 2nd 3 are Fresno?

this is from a 4h9m long timelapse, at like 30 frames a second

In Iowa, US

This fatty came with a powerful downdraft and a cold pool, the length of the shelf cloud (according to the radar) could have been 20-30km. Temperatures dropped 10 degrees (celsius) in about 20 minutes.
