(Jan. 7, 2016, 5:45 a.m.) -- Consistent with in-motion Doppler Radar on LBREPORT.com's front page, and noted by us in real time on our Facebook page, Long Beach received heavy periods of rain on Jan. 6, capped by an evening thunderstorm with lightning stretching from Wrigley to East Long Beach. Lights flickered in parts of ELB...and parts of LB's Peninsula lost power for a period overnight (restored by dawn.) LBREPORT.com readers said on our Facebook page placed the lightning roughly in areas from north of CSULB (viewed from Palo Verde Ave./Anaheim St.), Studebaker/Stearns ("right on top of us!") to some saying it was over Wrigley. (One Wrigley reader commented: "thunder or gunshots in Wrigley, hard to tell lately.") The National Weather Service recorded 1.05" of rain at LB Airport between 3:53 a.m. today (Jan. 7) and 3:53 a.m. Wednesday (Jan. 6.) LGB recorded 0.88" the day before. At its respective heights, the maximum rain rate on Wednesday (mid-morning) was 0.19" per hour...and in the evening-after midnight downpour, 0.22" per hour. At predawn Thursday (Jan. 7), the Nat'l Weather Service forecasts a 50% chance of precipitation today (daytime); a 30% chance tonight...and a mostly sunny Friday daytime with a 60% chance of rain Friday night into Saturday.
