California Aviation Warnings and Forecasts

• Western US SIGMETs
  
• West Coast AIRMETs
  
• West Coast Synopsis and VFR Clouds and Weather
  
• Transcribed Weather Enroute Bulletins (TWEBs)
  
• Southern California Terminal Aerodrome Forecasts (TAFs)
  
  
• Southern California Operational Weather Briefing Package
  This briefing package is assembled automatically every 15 minutes.
  It is designed to be a "first look" weather briefing for any California
  aircraft operations and for search and rescue (SAR) air and ground missions.
  Be aware the script that builds this package just assembles what's there.
  It doesn't know whether or not what it puts in the file is what's really
  supposed to go there. It just does what it's told to do. The data may
  not always be the most current. Pay attention to the valid times.
