Chubasco

21 Sep 2026

Good evening! Today is officially the unofficial last day of the Chubasco season!
Mother Nature doesn't care about dates,. but this is the last Chubasco report for 2026. I hope you found these helpful. A few topics for today!

1) Chubascos:
GOES-19 is showing a lot of convection on the mainland but it is very far to the East. Continue monitoring to see if it progresses or burns off.

2) Tropical storms:
17E is now Hurricane Polo. Instead of rehashing all the information available, a great resource is this link. Scroll to the 'eastern north pacific' portion to find more information.  We're still far out, but best to make plans now!

3) We are looking for someone to conduct chubasco reports for next year. Please let Brad Harley or I know if you are interested. We can train anyone (trust me, I studied Jazz in college).

4) Most importantly happy Earth Wind and Fire day (do you remember?). We originally thought this chubasco season would be much worse than it was. We were pleasantly surprised by how few chubascos we saw. San Carlos gang, you got hit the most for sure! 

Have a great 2026, and remember to look to the east before going to sleep!
