From Meteorologist Chad Crilley on FB: (11/11/26) Wednesday FULL Forecast – Strong T-Storms Friday Morning, Four Systems on the Way

Southern California is heading into a VERY active weather pattern, with FOUR separate storm systems expected to impact the region over the next 8–9 days.

⛈️ STORM #1 – FRIDAY MORNING: Our first system arrives late Thursday night into Friday morning, and this one has my attention, particularly along the immediate coastline. There is the chance of thunderstorms developing over the coastal waters and moving onto our beaches. One reason is the relatively warm ocean water compared to the much cooler air moving in aloft. This temperature difference can increase instability, helping showers and thunderstorms develop. Some storms could produce locally heavy rainfall, lightning, and gusty winds. Not everyone will see thunderstorms, but the coastal areas will be worth watching closely Friday morning!

🌧️ STORM #2 – SATURDAY MORNING: Another system quickly follows Friday night into Saturday morning, bringing a more widespread round of showers across San Diego County and portions of Imperial County. Periods of moderate rainfall will be possible, along with increasing winds, especially across the mountains and deserts. Rainfall coverage with this system could be greater than Friday's first round.

🌧️ STORM #3 – MONDAY: After a relative break Sunday, another Pacific storm moves into Southern California late Sunday into Monday, potentially continuing into Tuesday. More widespread rainfall, gusty winds, and noticeably cooler temperatures are expected. This system could also begin bringing colder air into our mountains, allowing snow levels to start dropping.

❄️ STORM #4 – NEXT THURSDAY: Yet another system is showing up in the longer-range forecast for Thursday, November 19th. Confidence in the exact track, strength, and timing remains lower this far out, but the overall pattern continues to favor unsettled weather. Snow levels may drop further next week as colder Pacific air works into the region, increasing the potential for accumulating snow in our higher elevations if sufficient moisture arrives.

Most of Imperial County will stay dry over the next 7 to 10 days, but gusty winds will be possible. #Socalwx #Sandiegowx #Imperialcountywx #Brawley #Elcentro #Elnino #Oceanside #Encinitas
