.. VERY WET WEATHER CONTINUES TO BE FORECAST FOR SOUTHEAST CALIFORNIA... SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH-CENTRAL ARIZONA INCLUDING PHOENIX... YUMA... EL CENTRO... IMPERIAL... AND GLOBE FOR MOST OF THIS COMING WEEK...

A MAJOR CHANGE TO VERY WET WEATHER CONTINUES TO BE FORECAST FOR THIS COMING WEEK AS A VERY STRONG LOW LATITUDE JET STREAM ACROSS THE PACIFIC SENDS A SERIES OF VERY WET PACIFIC STORM SYSTEMS INTO THE SOUTHWESTERN UNITED STATES. THE SNOW LEVEL IS GENERALLY EXPECTED TO BE RELATIVELY HIGH... NEAR 6 THOUSAND FEET OR HIGHER MOST OF THIS COMING WEEK... WITH A VERY SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF SNOW EXPECTED IN THOSE HIGHER ELEVATIONS.

TIMING IS SOMEWHAT UNCERTAIN... BUT THE FIRST PACIFIC STORM SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO SPREAD RAIN EAST ACROSS THE AREA MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT. RAINFALL... LOCALLY MODERATE...

THE RAIN ON TOP OF A BUILDUP OF OIL AND DUST WILL LIKELY RESULT IN SLIPPERY ROADS THIS COMING WEEK. IF YOU WILL BE DRIVING... BE ALERT FOR SLICK ROADS... SLOW DOWN... AND LEAVE EXTRA SPACE BETWEEN YOUR VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE AHEAD OF YOU.
 

It's going to rain all this week. A series of storms will enter from the pacific and will make it's way towards here in my area. Midterm week is going to be pretty wet.

[Anistorm]

7 day forecast slightly changed.


We still have chances of rain all week, anywhere between 30-60, which for me is a pretty good chance.

[Anistorm]

We are expecting Storm #3 to hit El Centro later tonight and it will stay stationary till tomorrow night. High wind watch is now in effect.



Currently it's 58 degrees, forecast high is in the mid 60's today.

[Anistorm]

So we were supposed to get a sprinkle out of what it was supposed to be "February's First Storm" but it literally went south of us.  That storm would be round 2 of Southern Storms.

There is a chance of rain this Saturday...the day when I move into my new room.

[Anistorm]

According to my local mets, Saturday's rainfall was about 0.3 inches or so. I thought it was much more since Imperial Avenue was flooded again. 

Anyways, no more storms coming through my area this week. I do expect a slight warm up! Highs will be in the 80's coming next week! Spring is so coming early...

Sometimes it doesn't take much with the ground so wet. Nice 80s
