While many areas are seeing minimal warming today, everything remains on track for a sharp warmup tomorrow. It will continue to feel muggy. Nights remain warm. Do not under-estimate the heat. Stay safe neighbors. #cawx

Wednesday, July 22, 2026, 6:42 AM PDT: We have our first eastern Pacific hurricane officially hit category 1 strength, and its name is Fausto. He has already started pulling deep tropical moisture northward in the last 24 hours. The main 594 DM high-pressure axis is currently stationary over western Oklahoma, and the northeast portion of New Mexico has begun to expand its peripheral edges towards Southern California and Arizona to set up for southeasterly teleconnection with Fausto and the Monsoonal high axis. This will cause widespread heat index values across all valleys of Central and Southern California to feel like 95F - 114F in the next 5 days. Due to Fausto's larger size than Elida's width, this will cause strong south swells from Pismo Beach to San Diego with wave heights up to 5 ft- 10 ft in the next 72 hours. Strong, aggressive rip currents and possibly some minor coastal flooding from Santa Barbara to San Diego beaches by Saturday morning. If you notice the latest water vapor satellite, you will see the remnants of Elida bring tropical moisture into Oregon and Washington state in the next 24 hours for high confidence of isolated strong to severe thunderstorms that can cause small isolated tornadoes, and very heavy rainfall due to the close proximity of the main center of the low axis, which is a true testament to the intensification of El Niño and the expansive marine heat wave across the central and northern Pacific. This has allowed for tropical systems to maintain some form of their impacts on northward, far-reaching regions. I'm monitoring the latest weather developments in the next 24 - 36 hours. #CAwx #AZwx #PacifcNorthwest #HurricaneSeason2026 #Monsoon #ElNino #Heatwave #Fausto #Elidia

A photogenic former Tropical Storm Elida, now centered about 600 miles west of Point Conception, has weakened significantly and transitioned into an extratropical system with an associated cold front. The system is producing southwesterly winds across the Central Coast, along with muggy conditions and warm to hot temperatures. As of this afternoon, my weather station in Los Osos is recording 78°F. Increasing mid- and high-level clouds this evening will help keep overnight temperatures unusually mild. Beginning Wednesday, gale-force afternoon northwesterly winds will develop along the coastline and continue through the remainder of the week. These onshore winds will bring cooler weather to the immediate coast. However, coastal valleys such as San Luis Obispo are expected to continue reaching the mid-80s during the late morning/eraly afternoon, before the cool marine air brings relief later in the afternoon, while inland valleys, including Paso Robles, will soar into triple-digit levels through the remainder of the Mid-State Fair.
