Periods of wet weather this week. Highest amounts and rates expected Monday with some thunderstorms. Potential for flash flooding with rock, mudslides, and debris flows. #CAwx #LArain

Standing on the rooftop of the parking garage to my cardiologist's office this morning - this plane flew into the shot as I was admiring the clouds, which makes the parking fee worth it today. #Airplanes #clouds #LArain #photography #westcoastkin

1 hour & 11 minutes until we start a NYE rewatch of the #LotR trilogy (extended editions). We followed the meme several years ago that had the exact time to start watching Two Towers to have Theoden say "so it begins" at the stroke of midnight & decided to do it again this year.

If we start Fellowship at 17:23, Theoden's line will fall about 20 seconds before midnight. Time enough to pause & pour our glasses of Martinelli's while hoping we don't wash away in the #LARain

Heavy to locally torrential rainband slowing down and intensifying as approaches central Los Angeles County. Widespread roadway flooding and debris flows are already being reported; this could escalate considerably over next 2-3 hours especially if this band stalls out. #CAwx #LArain

Heck of a Christmas Eve morning in southern California. Wind gusts to 70 mph, "Considerable" severe thunderstorm warnings, "Considerable" Flash Flood warnings. #LArain

Nope. Not getting up, yet. This is a stay in bed with cozy blankets and a book morning.

I'm squeezing in a mini (30 min!) pop-up "lunch hour livestream" later today (noon PT) to discuss last night's localized but torrential downpours (and notable urban flooding) due to "training" convective cells in Orange and LA counties. #CAwx #LArain

Someone is pissed off right now - I haven’t had my heart stop to thunder crackling overhead like this in years #LArain

Rainy walk this morning. Loved the faint reflection of the tree in the clear fresh puddle w/raindrops #LArain #WestCoastKin #stunday #photography

That #LARain is really coming down this morning. Flash Flood Warnings for all of Los Angeles, with one "Considerable" west of town. Various reports of flooded roads, rocks & trees down.

This #LARain has me fully in the holiday spirit. There’s just something about it dropping into the 50s and raining that makes it feel like Christmas. For non LA people, WE NEVER HAVE COLD OCTOBERS. It’s usually hot, windy, and fire season. So this is a welcomed change.

Whew! Finished what I wanted to get done today on my oil paintings in time to dry and sunbake the towels before the rain starts ☔️ #LArain

The #larain has begun once again.

Here's a story I wrote a couple of years ago about the allure and oddity of southern California weather, interviewing meteorologists and a famous writer.
