Pineapple Express Storm To Hit California Starting Friday With Much Needed Rain

:oooh_thestars1:

right on!

Should be lots of nice mud slides.

If only that happened at the same time...

Yeah and many Reservoirs filling up!

What's with everything being named after the weed strain?

Nobody is creative these days. How lame.

Lol. Another name for this event is an AR, Atmospheric River. But that sounds too Mainstream.

Great news!

I don't want a solar storm. I just found the closest smiley I could to look like rain watering all the yummy and pretty stuff they grow for us in California.

Not good, this will melt the already thin snowpack.

been strangeness on the radar around CA/OR line for several days, blink and you miss it though


Thread: Straight Line Storm Exactly on the CA/OR line???

May not be so good. Forecasters are saying it may melt snowpack since this is a warm weather system. Ugh. Cali just cant seem to win either way.

Allen White, a research meteorologist with NOAA and a mission scientist for CalWater 2015, reports that the NOAA G-IV will be transecting the atmospheric river offshore on Wednesday, perhaps followed by the P-3 on Thursday with possible flight paths above the Ron Brown and over the coast near Bodega Bay.


Flights on Friday would likely be over California, where the aircraft data would supplement an array of vertically pointing precipitation profilers and enhanced rain gauges. Meanwhile, the G-1 will focus on aerosol-related missions, including the impacts of long-range dust transport.


“Having all these observing assets available is a huge bonus,” White told me. “We can now observe the AR and the precipitation it generates from above, below, and throughout. This requires a huge forecasting and coordination effort and highlights a very successful interagency collaboration among federal, state, and local agencies, as well as academia.”

Wonder how that will translate on the east coast?

I just spent 4 days fishing for Steelhead on the Smith River last week. Caught 0 saw 3. Very clear , very low flow in the River. Saw hundreds of Elk and sea lions (also waiting for fish to show up) but not much going on with fish. Normally catch 2-4 Steelhead a day this time of year.

They are looking for radiation in the air column. Rad particles attach themselves to dust because of their electrical charge.

c'mon rain!!!

The first CalWater study in 2010 shed light on some of these uncertainties, as well as the importance of aerosols in either stimulating or suppressing rain and snow at various altitudes

yey! rain!

:youreafag:

Uh...you know it's the other way around, right??

...and all the weathermen and Cali residents will groan at the rain.

These idiots don't realize we need water and snow pack.

The heat and constant sun in Cali' sucks and is overrated.

Boatsmen taking it serious. Lots of activity around Richardson Bay today.
Front might hit with as high as 50 knot winds. Could be rough for the anchor-outs.
