weather woes

More extreme weather is in the forecast for Southern California this week as a hurricane spins in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Mexico.

As it moves north, it could bring heavy rainfall and the threat of flash flooding. And – far from providing relief from California’s extreme heat – the hurricane’s winds could actually push temperatures higher in some locations.

Hurricane Kay is forecast to track north, parallel to the Baja California peninsula, through Friday. It will then turn westward away from the coast just shy of the US border with Mexico, but not before making the closest pass to Southern California for a hurricane since 1997’s Hurricane Nora.

Kay is expected to remain at hurricane strength until it’s around 250 miles from San Diego, something only four other storms have done since 1950, according to the National Weather Service, before weakening as it moves closer.

3. Interesting . . ..

Well I look forward to some rain. Right now in Los Angeles it's now sunny. Earlier it was overcast and sorta reddish.

4. Send clouds and possible rain. 104 today in Sierra Foothills with a flex alert. Yesterday was 110.

I am toasted (and I don’t do drugs).

Since they stopped blowing up atomic bombs in Nevada, there is nothing else to break the ridge of high pressure that has maintained the heat over most of CA.

I think I’ll play “Stormy Weather” now.

7. The ground is asked so hard in San Diego

that the first inch will run off causing floods. The heat will be hot, humid rain, not cooling
