It It has been a warm and dry half of January and now start of February, but as the January 20th article stated about February with a final forecast for it at the end of the month, by Mid-February we would see signs of a change… and a couple systems are indeed now being monitored so read on for details.

Given what I can see in the Northern Pacific the ridge is about to shove westward toward Alaska.  This shove will allow for the colder air to spill down on the eastern periphery for the West Coast, including here in Southern California.  The SCWF Member Section has been hinting at this with the ‘trend model’ showing precipitation on the increase in the longer range.  Such systems like this can deliver colder than normal temperatures through their respected windows … along with lower elevation snowfall (High Desert to Las Vegas) … and the risk of thunderstorms.  Systems like this favor impacts for Los Angeles eastward instead of westward, but don’t worry Ventura, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo and Kern County … you’re still being watched by me in-case of a shift.

The window timing of this will be sometime this weekend as the start, with two back to back impulses.  A bit tough to say where the first one will end up … but the first one could be right on-top of Southern California out of due north, which will put snow in some High Desert and Las Vegas areas … or it would shift east and bring drier weather.  The second one is the one I am watching more with consistency as it marks the ‘mid-month’ time-frame I have been speaking about since last month.  This would would come further west and deliver better storm dynamics to our region.

This ridge does not look to rebuild as strong as it did these last couple of weeks for the fore-see able 14-21 day period … and as such monitoring for the troughs to form to bring us more chances of rainfall will be in the offering.

So with that said, members can continue to monitor the alerts given, one such for surf on west facing beaches this week, and continue to see updated models of upcoming precipitation chances.. .as well as that daily forecast discussion.

This is the end of the FREE public storm pattern article … a reminder on micro-climate alerts, models, discussions, etc below this –

SCWF Micro-Climate Alert Changes Effective Immediately – 2018+  Read what it means as there are slight changes .. but won’t affect these types of articles.
 
Because of Facebook newsfeed changes and removing ability to post on groups in my original profile saying it is spamming, website hits have gone down significantly. Effective immediately I no longer will provide micro-climate alerts to a free audience, but you will still be able to get these articles via the SCWF Website and Social Media Pages like you probably got this one from.
This is now members only and subscriptions can be looked into on the following link – https://www.southerncaliforniaweatherforce.com/system-sign-up/
 
There are more than 50,000+ viewers and a number on the android app receiving these micro-climate alerts. Some are members and some are not. If you are not, you will hit a page that says ‘Whoops members only’ in clicking one of these alerts.
 
Southern California Weather Force will no longer try to rely on Facebook hits to the micro-climate alerts. The articles will remain free, however with limited regional forecasts. The member only micro-climate alerts for flood, snow, frost, freeze, santa ana winds, fog, thunderstorms, tornado, and more will be what has the details in it, given to members with a subscription only. It is time I start acting like a business that self-sustains with memberships rather than hoping Facebook hits will get the ad revenue up, which has completely gone down since their algorithm changes and agendas of labeling my groups as ‘spam’..
 
So this is it.. If you wish to remain with SCWF without buying a subscription and reading only the regional articles posted then that is fine. Make sure you look up Southern California Weather Force Articles on Facebook.
 
If you wish to participate in growing this project, if this info has helped you in the past and will in the future, and want more detailed micro-climate (your area) information in the many alerts I issue via the App and/or email alert system … OR the micro-climate Facebook group you are on … Then a subscription is the only way to go.
 
I will try this for a further two years. I will shut the project down finalizing that it really never helped many people and that I wasted my time building this if I don’t see progress in the member-base. Custom forecasts take a lot of work and I’m not getting any younger…
Thank you…
