Heads up CA, El Nino is Back and a Pineapple Express headed your way bringing possible EPIC Rain/Snow!

California is about to get a ton of rain, but it’s still not enough to beat the drought
February 29

The pattern shift has lead the NWS to paint the West in green in precipitation outlooks through March 13. It’s forecasting a 60 to 70 percent chance of above-normal precipitation across almost all of California through March 9, and a 50 to 70 percent chance through March 13.

This is good news for California, but extreme drought is a long game.
The precipitation outlook through mid-March looks great for the West, and California in particular. While much of February was dominated by high pressure and sunshine, forecast models are predicting a pattern change over the next week that will lead to more storms coming off the Pacific and more chances for rain and snow.

Models are forecasting this pattern — low pressure over the West and high pressure over the East — to remain in place through the middle of the month, and possibly into early April.

In the near-term, Northern California has a few damp days ahead this week, but the Pacific moisture tap is expected to really turn on starting this weekend. The “pineapple express” will be in full swing — an atmospheric river of moisture that extends from the central Pacific Ocean, near Hawaii, all the way to the West Coast. California’s heaviest rains tend to come from atmospheric river events. . .

If this pans out it looks like some possible major flooding is going to happen
