Big Sur

Incoming…weather

I have never seen a model predict an arc of supercell thunderstorms making landfall in California like this before.

The severe weather setup we will see tonight is something you might only experience in this part of the world once a decade, or even less often.

The @NWSBayArea discussion puts it into perspective: “In fact, our next shift just walked in and one of the meteorologists said it feels like Kansas in May out there.”

The most dangerous line of severe storms, with the highest tornado threat, will make landfall after midnight along the coast from the Central Coast up to the North Coast.

However, lines of strong storms will begin making landfall after 7 PM. Expect widespread wind gusts of 50+ mph, with isolated gusts over 70 mph tonight.

this was primarily for last night, but it is not over.

  • Not looking forward to another night of high winds. Bummer! Hope everyone stays safe & the tree roots hold.

    • It is at my place, and probably lots of trees down, so depending on where you plan on camping, you might not be able to get there. Locals cleared most of Los Burros, but none of the others.
