Wet and cold weather is expected to continue into April, latest model guidance and forecasts suggest. Increased moisture influence in the coming weeks and more Alaskan lows! Breeding ground for more deepening pressure systems and severe weather in the Central US. https://t.co/VkQHwYuQH4

Alright California you know the drill, a potentially dangerous system is on its way and is forecasted to slam California on Tuesday. This system is a monster and isn’t playing around. It’s possible this will be worse than the bomb cyclone last week in some areas.

When a KONA low and a POLAR lobe get married they create a Bomb-Cyclone. Be sure not to miss the wedding next week just off the California Coastline

Check out the extended from the GEFS Ensemble!

It's far out, but there's not really any indication that the wet pattern will go anywhere anytime soon!!

The Climate Prediction Center is catching on it too

You better be kidding me about this one. The new ECMWF weeklies are out and they show above-normal precipitation totals possibly into early April. This would mean March could have very few rain-free days.

Wow, just beautiful! ❄️ Snow on Mt. Diablo is always lovely to see. Sharing my watercolor from a few years ago. Inspired by a February storm, view from Lafayette.

A very long-lived parade of strong Pacific storms. ground 0! Colossal snowfalls. Many feet of Explosive, intense snowfall rates. Front(#Reno/Carson City/#VirginiaCity) could get another heavy snow hit.

Your niece will be dealing with a series of storms over the next two weeks. There will be breaks in-between storm systems, a bit of good news. Pacific storm slated for Late Sunday-Tuesday looks like another doozy. Great news for the drought but not all at once. Yikes!😵#CAwx

22,400,000,000,000 gallons of water is a fairly conservative approximation of what will fall over the state of California over the next 15 days. That's 22 Trillion , 400 billion gallons! Too bad it cant all be caught and stored.

One of those storms where I could watch water vapor imagery on loop for hours.

Brace yourself, California!

It will remain stormy in CA for at least the next 7-10 days. The bigger storms will be Wed north spreading to the south Thur. A little more northern track to the Atmospheric River after Thur. But northern CA will see little break. My specific forecasts/impacts below.

The 12z EURO just had it's most bullish run YET w/ regards to precip in the West.

Over the next 10 days, it has vast expanses of California receiving 8"+ of rain, and well over 150" of snow in the Sierra Nevada.

Just a phenomenal sight to see

This future bomb cyclone is going to be astounding. It's likely to go under a warm seclusion as it rapidly deepens. Hurricane-force winds are expected but thankfully well offshore but the waves will be large & dangerous. 50ft+ waves are expected.

4 medium range models have generally the same idea…more due midweek, off/on into Friday and possibly highest totals/wind later next weekend to early next week. 🌧 🪣

Model ensembles trending even wetter for NorCal between now & end of Oct. I'm personally skeptical that *this* much will actually fall, but I'm increasingly convinced of significant rain/mountain snow that will likely be fire-season ending from about I-80 northward. https://t.co/QFGsJxT9fs

NorCal weather set-up for Thu/Fri is reminiscent of previous Sept thunderstorm events. Key ingredients include offshore low pressure system & mid-level subtropical moisture tap. Very light showers possible, but main concern remains dry (or nearly so) lightning.

SPOTLIGHT: The northeast of Chico, California, continues to grow this week and 's captured its smoke and heat signature last evening. At last report, the covered more than 60,000 acres and was only 15% contained.

More monsoon soon? Mid-upper level moisture view shows upper level feature moving through that may trigger shower/isolated thunder into early Monday. Pattern looks favorable for another westward drift of mid-level moisture and shower chances later next wknd as well.

Major CA heatwave still appears to be in the cards 5-7 days from now. Another prolonged period of very hot conditions is possible across interior, and coastal spots will probably get hotter than last PacNW-focused event. Still not clear exactly hot hot it may get.
