The fires, dubbed the Pipeline Fire and Volcano Fire, are burning in southern Camp Pendleton and next to the Santa Rosa Plateau, respectively. The Pipeline Fire, burning near the intersection of Stuart Mesa Road and Hammond Drive in the southern portion of Camp Pendleton, was first reported on Monday around 2 PM, and has burned approximately 1,064 acres as of Tuesday afternoon. The Volcano Fire was reported just before 3 PM, and is burning dense brush near the intersection of Tenaja Road and Via Volcano, just west of the Santa Rosa Plateau. As of 5 PM Tuesday, the fire had burned 77 acres. While no structures have been lost and no injuries reported from both fires as of Tuesday afternoon, evacuation orders have been issued in the La Cresta community. http://weathercurrents.com/menifee//NewsItemDisplay.do?Id=1677 The 2025-2026 water year was characterized once again by weak La Nina conditions in the equatorial Pacific - for the second winter in a row - however seasonal rainfall was generally higher in 2025-2026 than during 2024-2025. Seasonal rainfall during 2025-2026 ended near-average across the majority of active WeatherCurrents stations, with notable exceptions in Simi Valley and Pinon Hills - both of which exceeded their season averages rather modestly. Elsewhere, season totals were mostly within one or two inches of normal - slightly below season averages. In September 2025, post-Tropical Storm Mario delivered widespread rainfall and convective thunderstorms to Southern California. Unseasonable summer-like heat persisted well into the month of October, briefly pausing for a healthy early season storm during the middle of the month. November was punctuated by heavy rains and milder weather, before warm and dry conditions returned for most of December. Heavy rains returned to the regi ... http://weathercurrents.com/menifee//NewsItemDisplay.do?Id=1675 A low pressure system off the Central California coast brought unsettled weather and light rain to much of the region early this week, primarily late Monday night into Tuesday morning. The storm followed additional unsettled weather which brought patchy drizzle to the region on Saturday. Light rain arrived to parts of the region late Monday night, however most communities received rain Tuesday morning, while cloudy weather remained for the remainder of the day. The bulk of the storm's precipitation focused on San Diego County and surrounding areas, with both WeatherCurrents stations in Simi Valley and Pinon Hills to the north being missed entirely. Where rain did fall, storm totals ranged from 0.04 inches in Temecula Valley's Wine Country (courtesy of Jim Sappington) to 0.23 inches in East Hemet. In Riverside's Canyon Crest neighborhood, a total of 0.08 inches was recorded (courtesy of Jim Ness). Much warmer, drier weather followed from Wednesday onwards as an upper level ridge ... http://weathercurrents.com/menifee//NewsItemDisplay.do?Id=1674 A weak Pacific storm travelled across California on Tuesday, however the storm lost almost all of its energy and moisture as it approached Southern California - leaving nearly all of the region with little to no measurable rain at all. While precipitation totals were already expected to be light across Southern California, the storm rapidly fell apart south of Point Conception, leaving even areas that anticipated higher rain totals, with little or no precipitation at all. In the WeatherCurrents network, only Simi Valley recorded measurable precipitation through Wednesday morning - a total of only 0.02 inches. Further north in the state, the National Weather Service confirmed three weak tornadoes in Fresno County (the strongest of which was rated EF-1 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale, indicating peak gusts between 86 and 110 miles per hour), causing minor damage and no injuries. This convection had dissipated entirely before reaching Southern California. A low pressure system over Ce ... http://weathercurrents.com/menifee//NewsItemDisplay.do?Id=1673 A cold late-season storm, originating in the Gulf of Alaska, will travel south down the state Tuesday into Wednesday. For Los Angeles County and northwards, the storm is projected to bring the potential for thunderstorms and brief heavy precipitation - however, rain chances drop significantly for areas south and east of Los Angeles as current model projections depict the storm weakening as it approaches Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside and San Diego counties. Strong southwest to west winds are forecast for the mountains and deserts Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. Precipitation totals for the inland valleys and coasts are predicted to be around 0.1 inch. Another storm is forecast to bring additional light precipitation and winds to the region next weekend.
