la Nina rears her ugly head

weather 01-25-21.JPG


Well, this should be fun. First I get frozen, then blown away, then flooded. We really need the rain but I could do without the freezing part. The sensitive plants are already half freeze damaged, so I guess freezing the rest won't matter much.
 
Almost 3" here overnight. The ground still isn't saturated so not much runoff. Rainy pattern to continue for at least the next week.

Is that normal or abnormal for Southern California?
Are there any fires going on there these days?

aining on and off since about 9:00 PM last night, some pretty heavy. Probably total 1-2" by the end of the day. The trails will be unavailable for at least a couple of days.
 
Starting to look to me like the la nina pattern is fading. Storms not staying so far north lately. Nothing reaching this far south, and east though. We are still at about .05 inch for the year in the El Paso area.

I'm just hoping we get a normal monsoon this year. La Nina last year really sucked, as all who burned can agree. Our turn in AZ and NM this year. The mogollon rim is crazy dry.
 
Another 0.8” here. I went riding today and it wasn’t too bad. A few mud puddles but mostly good. I really like the trails when the soil has some moisture. Great traction and quiet.

Supposedly it's "mostly sunny" all day today, and still says so on all the local NWS sites...but it's been sprinkling and raining since well before dawn so far. :roll:

I think somebody there needs to look out a window now and then. ;)
