Atmospheric River




















I was skeptical when I heard the term "Atmospheric River" applied to the series of storms that will come to California over the next week, so I checked out the GOES Infrared Longwave picture. Yup, that band of moisture, that Atmospheric River, is at least 4000 miles long, and California will receive a good flow from it. Currently, rainfall in Sacramento is 94% of average. We need a good bump of rain, and it looks like we'll get it.
