#Landspout Warning
Special Weather Statement
NWS San Francisco CA
342 PM PST Mon Feb 19 2024
San Fransisco Peninsula Coast CA-Santa Cruz Mountains CA-
San Francisco Bay Shoreline CA-
At 337 PM PST, Doppler radar was tracking a strong thunderstorm
capable of producing a landspout 14 miles south of Half Moon Bay, or
19 miles southwest of Palo Alto, moving north at 20 mph.
HAZARD…#Landspouts and wind gusts of 50 to 55 mph.
Meanwhile #Yosemite’s Half Dome has some snow.
#SierraNevada #snowpack still below average this year.
I suspect it'll take a few years of the same or similar amount of snow for it to get back to average.
