California Weather Transition

The California winter is now making a gradual transition. The circulation that's been previously in place over the western North Pacific is now sliding east over the eastern North Pacific. The storms that will start passing through, beginning tomorrow, will have more-solid connections with the tropics east of Hawaii than we've seen previously, and thus we will start feeling the effects of El Niño more-directly. The storms will be wetter than heretofore, warmer, and more frequent.
