Update on Pacific Southwest monsoonal moisture & potential Pacific NW lightning & wildfire outbreak
The latest in a recurring series of live, virtual, & interactive #weather and #climate-focused "office hours" hosted by Dr. Daniel Swain. 07/5/2026 topic: I'll discuss the monsoonal moisture surge that brought brief sprinkles and lots of humidity to California this week, and the potential for uncomfortably hot and humid to linger for days or even weeks in Southern CA. I'll also discuss the arrival of meaningful monsoonal precipitation to currently drought and wildfire-stricken portions of the Mountain West next week, as well as the potential for a significant thunderstorm outbreak (and subsequent new wildfire outbreak) across much of the Pacific Northwest later this week.
