Strange Weather: Southern California gets the closest tropical storm since ’97

Revelation 16:9 “They were scorched by the fierce heat, and they cursed the name of God who had power over these plagues. They did not repent and give him glory.”

Important Takeaways:

  • Eye-popping satellite photo shows Tropical Storm Kay over Southern California
  • It was an unusual sight at the tail end of one of California’s weirdest weather weeks ever: a massive tropical storm system swirling over the Southland.
  • Though Kay never made landfall in the state, “it was certainly closer than anything we’ve ever had before that I can remember,” said Mike Wofford, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Oxnard.
  • Brandt Maxwell, a meteorologist with the weather service in San Diego, said “it’s not outlandish to say that the impacts covered a 1,000-mile-wide area.”
  • Though the storm was not nearly enough to end the megadrought plaguing the state, it did help dampen the raging Fairview fire in Riverside County, officials said.
  • In San Diego County, the storm dropped more than 5 inches of rain in Mt. Laguna
  • The Los Angeles area saw less precipitation overall — with most areas recording 1.5 inches or less by the end of the weekend — but did see some daily records, including 0.32 inches in Sandberg

Tropical Storm Kay brings threat of flooding to Southern California

Revelation 16:9 “They were scorched by the fierce heat, and they cursed the name of God who had power over these plagues. They did not repent and give him glory.”

Important Takeaways:

  • Kay continues to threaten flooding rain for SoCal
  • A serious flooding threat is expected to develop across the bone-dry southwestern United States due to a substantial influx of moisture from Tropical Storm Kay, located in the East Pacific near the coast of Baja California, Mexico.
  • Kay remained a large storm that had sustained winds of 60 mph (95 km/h), making it a tropical storm, and was moving north-northwest at 13 mph
  • The center of Kay made landfall as a Category 1 hurricane near Bahia Asuncion in Baja California, Mexico,
  • The last named tropical system that came close to San Diego was Hurricane Nora from September 1997.
  • Based on the current AccuWeather forecast, Kay’s approach toward California will be the closest that any tropical storm has gotten to Los Angeles since a storm named Hyacinth in 1972, according to AccuWeather Senior Weather Editor Jesse Ferrell.
  • Rainfall amounts of 2-4 inches will be common in the mountains of Southern California, but some localized amounts as high as 8 inches will be possible
  • San Diego and Los Angeles average less than a quarter of an inch of rain over the entire month of September.
  • The strongest wind gusts in the United States from Kay are also expected to be in the higher elevations of Southern California. Wind gusts of 40-60 mph will be possible, especially in the mountains, AccuWeather forecasters say.
