Kind of an impressive setup over Southern California that is not unlike predecessor rainfall events we see in the Southeast during hurricane season. Record atmospheric moisture over LA midday with entrance region jet dynamics. 🌧️

A multimodel blend showing forecast atmospheric moisture percentiles at 11am PT. The light blue area near LA is where precipitable water is at record levels for this time of year. Warm water from El Niño and climate change amping Marie’s moisture stream.

Jet stream conditions this afternoon over Southern California feature entrance region dynamics that focus moisture and lift.

The sun rises over an intensifying Typhoon Sinlaku as it moves northwest toward the Marianas and becomes increasingly impressive. JTWC now estimating maximum sustained winds of 125 mph, and automated satellite algorithms suggest possibly a bit stronger. Himawari loop from himawari8.nict.go.jp

Super Typhoon #Sinlaku in the West Pacific has rapidly intensified and is now near Cat 5 equivalent Sunday and is a text book super storm. It is forecast to just pass north of the US Island of #Guam Monday, population 167,000, with winds near 155 mph. Home to important U.S. Air Force and Naval bases

There was not a lot of snow this winter, and thus, not a lot of water in the rivers of the western US this summer. It was as if, out west, winter did not really happen this year.

What is it about this century? What could it be? ♨️🌎 From @agnes1972.bsky.social on his X account: "With Erin, the last ten years have now seen 11 category five Atlantic hurricanes. This puts us even further ahead of 2007, which held the previous record of nine. Remarkable."

Just 24 hours ago, #Erin was just a 65kt Category 1 hurricane. Now, after explosive intensification, it's increased 75kt to 140kt! Cool to see the structure improve, then completely bomb out

#Hurricane #Erin has just become a Category 5 hurricane (140 kt / 917 mb). Earliest known occurrence of Cat 5 in open Atlantic (outside Caribbean & Gulf). Rapid Intensification (+75 kt in 24h!) To illustrate how remarkable this period of #RI has been check out this WV 18 hour animation below ⤵️

A July hurricane-force non-tropical low near Greenland on July 11, 2025. Central pressure fell into the low to mid 960s. At least 5 July — including all warm season months — records were set by the storm. From Thule/Pituffik Space Force Base in Greenland, who broke their July record by 15 hPa.

Agreed: a low pressure center THIS deep in THIS location is not at all common. That the forecast of it is relatively confident 6-days in advance is also uncommon.
