Arctic Air Mass Heading For Southern California As We Start The Martin Weather Pattern of February 2018

457Shares

Many have been wondering where the cold air of winter was and as I stated last November we would see it by now into March, mainly our spring-time systems.  Such air-masses are starting to line-up, the first hitting Sunday night into Monday in what is officially the Martin Weather Pattern of February 2018 so read on for details.

Why is it called the Martin Weather Pattern of February 2018?  Well… named like a comet from the discoverer … a long range forecast I put out that no one else does is named after my last name, therefore the discoverer of it.  I can go for months with naming through March 2018 at this rate but you get the idea.

Before I get on with the storm pattern  I will recognize the large Earthquake yesterday in Mexico.  Values have gone back into the unstable color on my fault-stress model which would indicate another Earthquake Watch window starting this morning through the end of the week for a M4.0 or higher in California.

Finally.. the ridge has broken as a result of Pacific Storm Osiris’ altering pattern within the jet and we are now going to start seeing troughs dip further south for our ‘winter-like’ air-masses to finally come in.  An air-mass scheduled for later Sunday will come in with gusty winds out of the west for the mountain and desert locations, with almost all areas through then and Monday having gusty cold winds.  Southern California Weather Force High Wind Warnings are in place in those areas within the micro-climate alerts in the member section.  Up to 80 mph wind gusts are possible on the eastern slopes of the Kern, San Bernardino, Riverside, and San Diego Mountains with average gusts at 45 mph across the warned zones.

Furthermore, we are looking at the risk of snowfall in the mountain zones above 2,500 FT.  Because of how low that snow-level is going to be … along with the base of the trough being over the area during this period… I cannot rule out some snowfall making it east of Big Bear into the Morongo Basin to Joshua Tree National Park zones as well as the mountain passes.  So if you are a photographer than this is a good opportunity up there.  My winter weather watches were issued for the LA/VT/KERN Mountains earlier today, followed by yet another copy from the government weather services watching this site’s forecasts … go figure … The Winter Weather Watch is for snowfall between Sunday evening and Monday night with the chance of several inches at Tehachapi Level and snowfall happening on Gorman.   The High Wind Warning included some snowfall wording for the San Bernardino, Riverside, and San Diego Mountains … members can view those products.

Over the next 12-24 hrs I’ll be introducing the rain/snowfall forecast charts in the member section … so if you are not a member then it would be a good idea to check it out …

What I see after is a very cold air-mass, the coldest being Monday night into Tuesday morning.  The cold air-mass will no doubt bring some inland valley areas freezing temperatures with frost a certain … high desert at hard freeze temperatures … and some warnings are on the site now for SLO/KERN Valleys …

The system is rather weak in precipitation in the metros due to the base of the trough moving directly overhead with not much moisture coming in from the west so this is mainly for the cold air-mass that will move over …

Surf on Monday will be up… with 12-15 FT waves being likely on all west facing beaches so be careful out there.

As of now this is what I have and updates will be going out on the page and especially member section before and during the system’s arrival … It will NOT be a named storm…

Long range continues to show no sign of the pesky ridge with colder systems possible as we head toward the end of the month

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 news-feed 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…
