KABC-TV chief meterologist Dallas Raines has been at ABC’s flagship Los Angeles station since 1984, so you’d think he’s seen everything he could ever see when it comes to Southern…
. “This is my 40th year of forecasting weather in Southern California, and there have been many opportunities for tropical cyclones that have come up out of Mexico. I would go year after year during hurricane season, ‘Maybe this is the year that conditions are gonna be perfect to bring something up into Southern California.’ Every year, it would be no.
Wind will also still be a problem: Raines is expecting gusts similar to Santa Ana winds, east and northeast winds leading through those canyon passes. For wildfire concerns, the rain that comes with the storm will likely prevent serious problems. But there’s still the possibility that heavy winds will come before the rainfall arrives, still making for a dangerous situation with the dry brush in the canyons, hills and mountains.
Raines said he wouldn’t be surprised to see a tornado watch issued for the area along side a tropical storm watch, which he said for the region is “remarkable.” As for how KABC/ABC7’s “Eyewitness News” team is preparing for the storm, assistant news director Dan Rasmussan said they’re in a bit of uncharted territory. “I’ve been here for for 10 years and I think of all of the large events that we cover the breaking news: Earthquakes, fires and mudslides and big storms over the winter. But the thing that we always talk about is we never get the hurricanes, like people on the East Coast,” he said.
“We’ve been doing a live blog, live update, and a live stream of the storm track online since yesterday afternoon,” he added. “There’s a lot going on. We’re teaming up with ABC News and AccuWeather and UCLA to get expertise and additional resources.”
