NWS Hanford Hail Snowman from my friend in Bakersfield! Absolute Hail Blizzard machines in the valley.

A cluster of strong thunderstorms are affecting the SG Valley & foothills, moving SE at 20 mph. Expect wind gusts up to 40 mph, accumulating hail up to 1/2" in diameter, heavy downpours & lightning. Drive with extra caution in areas where hail is falling! #CAwx

How we doin' out there, Big Bear? 🫣🥶🐻 The calendar says April, but those near Big Bear Lake are seeing similar temperatures to those along the Arctic Ocean in far northern Alaska this morning 😶 NWS Fairbanks, we're ready for real spring around here! #CAwx #AKwx

Reminder, do NOT look at the sun without the appropriate protective eyewear and enjoy the show!

Orbiting about 1 million miles away from Earth, NASA's EPIC camera onboard NOAA's #DSCOVR satellite captured the shadow from Monday's total solar eclipse! In this imagery, you can see the moon's shadow pass over the Pacific Ocean and through North America. #TotalEclipse2024

An earthquake swarm is occurring this AM along the north San Fernando Valley near Sylmar. The quakes are tiny, but getting deeper. Now's a good time to review your earthquake safety protocol. Be aware of your surroundings and know where to go if it gets shaky. Jason D Farhang

It's Been Hot. It's Getting A Bit More Humid. We're Seeing Some More Clouds. Isolated Showers & Thunderstorms Will Become Increasingly Possible Over The Coming Days For Parts of SoCal As The First Monsoonal Push Of The Season Pays The Southland A Visit.

Pre-Dawn Showers & Thunderstorms are again developing over the Southland early this AM. This time, parts of Orange County & the LA Metro are getting in on the action as mid-level monsoonal moisture is running into instability. Look for areas of "surprise" downpours and lightning.

This is a map of total lightning from July 13 to early morning July 14 - in cloud and cloud to ground (orange) from the California Bight to the desert - total lightning count around 2000 #socal #CAwx

Long day yesterday. More to come but literally a career morning with dozens of massive bolts landing in Yosemite as a slug of elevated instability rolled through in the morning. And I was probably the only one on it 😅

Watching another batch of monsoon moisture, currently over NW Mexico, poised for parts of SoCal. Like last weekend some of the models are indicating another chance of isolated - scattered showers & maybe even t-storms for some, as early as Wed. AM (as well as Thurs) incl. coasts.

Is Southern California weather about to get more active again? #CAwx linkedin.com/posts/ilya-ney…

Tiny tornado at Beaver and Madison around 8:20 p.m. in Des Moines tonight? Caught on the car camera. Yikes! #atleastnotasharknado

Strong thunderstorms have fired up along the N slopes of the San Gabriel Mountains & S Antelope Valley. They are extremely slow moving so areas of heavy downpours & localized flash flooding possible, especially along the 14 between Acton & Palmdale & along the 138 to Pinon Hills

🚨9 Brand-New Hodograph Modules🚨 Hodographs are hard! Thanks to Harry Harry Weinman & Cameron Cameron Nixon, they just got much easier! And they explain everything!!! Guess what — no Math! 😃 training.weather.gov/wdtd/courses/w… (Storm Structures and Hazards/Storm Modes unit)

It's currently 109 on my dashboard in North Hollywood at 4 PM (besides the need for an oil change)! Neighborhood sensors are reporting anywhere from 105 to 107 currently. Temps could get even hotter in the coming days. Stay heat safe!

At close to 2 in the morning hilltop temperatures are still in the 90s between Thousand Oaks and Santa Monica, as compresssional heating continues across Southern California. However, take a look at the numbers across the low deserts: it's 1 degree shy of 100 around Palm Springs!

It got up to 116 searing degrees within Los Angeles city limits today - and that's no typo! Could it get even hotter tomorrow? Here's my latest analysis on L.A.'s KNX 1070: linkedin.com/posts/ilya-ney…

Look at this, unreal midnight temps: a 30 degree difference across walkable blocks in Santa Barbara! 99 to 101 degree canyon wind...surrounded by marine air of 67 degrees. You could walk from the 60s to the triple digits & back to the 60s along E Valley Rd in a matter of minutes!
