Rare drizzly weather visited Southern California on Wednesday, as well as 'virga,' where the rain never actually reaches the ground.
hit areas of Southern California on Wednesday and could last into Thursday, ahead of another heat wave that’s forecast for next week, the National Weather Service said. But much of the precipitation didn’t survive the warm air to make it to the ground, an Oxnard-based meteorologist said.
“A lot of it that’s falling is what we call virga,” Lund said. “That means it’s really dry ... so it doesn’t reach the ground. It rains from the clouds, and that’s kind of creating a wispy look.”The “rainfall” comes from the remnants of now-dissipated Tropical Storm Eugene, which formed off Baja California earlier this week.Wind-whipped wildfires race through Hawaii, killing six, burning a historic tourist town on Maui and forcing evacuations with some fleeing into ocean.
Thunderstorms also popped up off the coast and in the mountains on Wednesday, Lund said, and the weather service said there was a 20% to 30% chance of the gray conditions lasting into Thursday. “We ask people to be very careful and to stay indoors if they hear any thunder,” Lund said. “Be careful and be aware of your surroundings.”
