Oakmont Group
Briefings from Western Confluence Group on the weather and fire conditions that affect your communities — what's coming, what it tends to mean for sites like yours, and what's worth getting ahead of.
A Tropical Storm Watch for San Diego County, and a wind forecast the models can't agree on
Tropical Storm Rachel comes inland near the border early Sunday, and this morning's watch covers all four San Diego County zones — so nine Oakmont communities are inside it. The official grid says gusts in the twenties to low thirties; the ECMWF and its ensemble say considerably more, the track guidance shifted north overnight, and NHC gives San Diego a 23% chance of sustained tropical storm force. Plan for a wet, gusty Sunday morning and prepare for the stronger case.
Read the briefing →When something's coming
We send a briefing when the pattern warrants it — extended heat, a wind event, elevated fire weather, or smoke likely to reach your communities. Not on a schedule, and not for ordinary weather.
What's in one
What we're seeing, how confident we are, and what it tends to mean for senior living sites specifically. You know your sites; we know the weather.
Between briefings
Text in OMG South, OMG North or OMG Hawaii for any questions or concerns. We'll continue to send fire and immediate alerts through those groups.

Text OMG South, OMG North or OMG Hawaii any time — questions, concerns, or a read on a specific property.
