SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WEATHER FORCE MAIN:

The event will be underway across the Southwestern United States as the Moon rises.  This eclipse will happen early in the night, which means it will be lower in the southeastern skies.  In fact, it will already have a chunk out of it, well within the Earth’s shadow at sunset, but we will still be able to see the totality phase of it.

The Moon turns read because light bends in the red wavelength around the Earth’s atmosphere, a reason you see the evening/morning having an orange/red color to the sky.  This red light shines on the Moon, thus giving it the red hue.

This eclipse however will be interesting.  With the recent volcanic eruption several months back, gases in the upper atmosphere can actually make the eclipse have a deeper red color, not a lighter one, which is what normally happens.

The weather for the Southwestern United States I do project to have a trough in the area.  This trough could bring periods of high clouds at times but should the window land on a clearer period then the eclipse will be highly visible everywhere.  I am leaning toward no weather issues for everyone.   So, stay tuned for updates in the weather forecast as we near the night of the eclipse.  The graphic displays the peak time is 9:11pm PDT on May 15, 2022.

Southern California Weather Force is a custom weather alert service that began in September 1999 off and is regarded as the most accurate weather service in the region, offering custom alerts, maps, and models to help save life and property.  The work done here is never 100% accurate, but it comes pretty close.  Southern California Weather Force runs on zones, so if an event happens in a zone that is 10 miles from the border of your zone, the forecast is still valid to activate your zone’s alert system.  A company quote to the public is that of “The Joker” and tells other agencies in weather this all the time… “This world deserves a better class of meteorologist… and I’m gonna give it to them”… out-forecasting even the National Weather Service with lead-time and precision, which makes this service a focus of ridicule and envy in the weather community due to having such accuracy. Alerts issued here are issued custom from this office and this office alone. You may not even hear it elsewhere, but if one is issued near or in your area, listen up because “if you do not wish to die in weather, follow, it’ll save your life one day.”

Master Meteorologist – is a consulting meteorologist for over 50 different 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 20 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. That is fine, the track record of the main office is very high so maintain to follow an event when posted.
