Winter Storm Herbert Radar, Satellite, and obsrvation Thread

[Tornado_Chaser2005]

To start off the thread, We are getting light rains right now....Cells are developing everywhere, and its starting to get a bit humid outside. This doesnt feel like the normal storms we get here. I would like to show an image of a cell off the coast of Los Angeles, which is nearly 40miles to my west.
As you can see, this cell reminded me of the day after tomorrow hook near LA, so I decided to share it! Hmm more I think about it, the more this cell looks like Shrimp Scampi.

Its very windy outside....gusts to 40mph right now and were on the outlying band of the front....the Weather Channel had someone in Seal Beach monitoring the situation...kinda weird to see TWC in L.A.

The national radar makes it look like California is getting washed away and/or snowed under!!!

Looks like rotation or maybe a hook echo.

Coming down pretty good here right now in Costa Mesa with some good southeasterly winds at the moment. Winds gusting to near 30 MPH easily right now. I have at least 1/3" of rain at the moment.

Its been snowing in Las Vegas for the last two hours at least...they are expecting accum of up to 4 inches!!! That's a nice treat for someone hitting a jackpot out there...

How often does it snow in vegas?

Wow, hopefully someone in Vegas takes a picture! This is a very rare event!

I just took a walk outside to see if there is any damage occuring from the wind and I see a few roofing shingles blown off of one of the buildings and a couple of twigs blown off of the trees. That's about it so far.

Very rare for Vegas to get snow....maybe once every other year or so...My friends say its coming down in all parts of the city right now!!!
