Weather pattern change to put CA in a precarious position post-Thanksgiving. Maps shows the "standard deviation" (spread) amongst weather models Dec. 1. There is more uncertainty about the atmospheric pattern over CA than anywhere else in the Northern Hemisphere! Could be cold/wet or less cold & dry

L.A. has now received 5.52 inches of rain this month, the city's wettest November since 1967.

It's going to be prime #TuleFog season in #California next week. Soil moisture >90th percentile across much of CA thanks to recent rain. Light winds with high-pressure system overhead will make for ideal conditions for radiation fog. Plan ahead if traveling through the valley for Thanksgiving. #CAwx

The San Francisco Bay Area is in for some light rainfall tonight from a weak system and showers should be winding down for most by sunrise Thursday

Another rainmaker is coming to California. Here’s where it’ll be wettest
The last in a series of wet weather systems is headed to California. It’ll help boost rainfall totals that are already running well ahead of normal.

Lower-than-normal snowfall combined with warm temperatures has made it tough for Sierra ski areas hoping to open a week before Thanksgiving.

Kinda interesting to compare water year precipitation with snowpack at a continental scale. Most of the western US has been very wet since October 1, but there is almost no snowpack anywhere except at the very highest elevations because it has been so ridiculously warm. #hydrology #wx

A recent onslaught of storms pushed many of California’s creeks and streams to unusual territory and crushed rainfall records in other parts of the state.
The Merced River in Yosemite NP was flowing faster than any November in half of a century. Santa Barbara demolished a monthly rainfall record.

Yosemite Valley’s main river hits November flow record after rain
A major California city also just got more November rain than anytime in a century as California's water totals are off to a strong start following storms.

California’s rule book on El Niño and La Niña is broken
La Niña is back, but week-to-week jet-stream chaos really decide whether California floods or stays dry.

WOW...parts of SoCal saw more than 5x the normal TOTAL rainfall for the month of November in just the past 3 days.
The South Bay got a nice soaking compared to the North Bay (not super common here) thanks to a cutoff low. Enjoy dry weather before another storm arrives tonight! @kpixtv.bsky.social

A lot of daily and monthly record high temperature records across the U.S. today. Here’s an animation showing places that were within at least 3 degrees of setting a record, mostly in the southern Plains.
