A Plethora Of Pineapples!

Wow! This is going to be a wet week!

Two discrete storms will pass through California by Tuesday, but there is also a long, long train of moisture out there over the Pacific that will pass through afterwards, generating lots and lots of orographically-induced precipitation in the Sierra Nevada. And the moisture will come from tropical latitudes too, from just east of Hawaii.... Christmas might be clear, but the process could repeat before New Year's Eve....

In other words, in addition to two significant storms, we will also experience a classic Pineapple Express! Remember 1997? Here we go again! Time to gather the animals, two by two....
