Southern California Weather Force has issued an official rare Tropical Storm Warning for most of Southern California and all of Las Vegas effective now for the weekend of August 19th, 2023 along with a High Wave Warning for 30 Foot Waves.

For well over a week, Southern California Weather Force Long Range Risk Model Assessment Models have predicted a major upswing in storm activity for the Southwestern United States (Reference A Below).  This risk assessment was then a day later managed and found it would be one of two storms, Greg or Hilary.  It was determined by me, the time machine lord, that it would be Hilary before she formed (Reference B Below).

Now, she has formed into A tropical storm and will become a major hurricane along the Baja, California coast.  This will stop or cancel all cruise ship paths as she will carry 50-foot waves.

The first of the upper-level dynamics will hit on Saturday, August 19th, with the center and major part of the system through August 20th as the main day.  Southern California Weather Force forecast models indicate a high risk now extending all the way west of Los Angeles to Santa Barbara and Ventura’s latitude.  This means that the majority of the forecast zone will see heavy rain, high winds at times, and flooding, and as stated in previous forecasts, it will wash roads out with erosion and also this is one of the systems that will cause loss of life and property if not properly prepared.

I personally would cancel all plans on Saturday and Sunday within the Southern California risk zones and stay home but prepare ahead of time if you live in one of the flood prone zones as if this was a regular season major storm.  This is courtesy of El Nino, and Southern California Weather Force maintains the final El Nino Warning (Reference C Below).

I did my job; this is a Raiden Storm Pattern.  A Raiden Storm Pattern (Being my call-sign is Raiden Storm) means that it was a pattern predicted before anyone or anything could have and is named after me like a comet discovery is named after the one who saw it.

That is all, I will say now to prepare and good luck …

Master General Meteorologist – is a consulting meteorologist for over 50 companies, including energy, agriculture, aviation, marine, leisure, and many more areas. He has certs from Mississippi State for broadcast met and Penn State forecasting certs MET 101, 241, 341 and 361 as a meteorologist, but before then was completely self-taught, barely learning a thing from the schools that he did not already know.

Both short and long-range is very important to know in those jobs so you can bet on accuracy here. He is versed in fields like Western USA, Tornadoes, Floods, Hurricanes, High Winds, Fire Behavior, Snow and Blizzards, Short Range, Long Range, Seasonal, and Life-Threatening decisions with over 25 years' experience, out forecasting all weather services available today with lead-time and precision, which makes him a focus of ridicule and envy.

NOTE: Alerts are posted on here, be it a tornado watch, etc, and these alerts are issued from this office and nowhere else. At times, which is often, you will see an alert forecast posted on here that you do not see elsewhere.
