Guest happ Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 It is still raining in NorCal breaking all time records in several locations. This chart suggests the odds of a complete 2-year recovery from the drought are quite low but who knows, esp if a favorable ENSO sets up.

Anti Marine Layer Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 Not even any marine layer drizzle out of this one. Northern California got some rain, but drought is already over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anti Marine Layer Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 Small tornado in Rancho Cordova. Wow! We had a small tornado about a mile away from our house one time with a winter storm. It was the weakest of tornadoes, but it did minor damage to a few homes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest happ Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 The northern Sierra has now surpassed the all time record for rain and that part of the state is still raining off and on this week. There is concern that a major heat wave could result in significant flooding in NorCal and Nevada. Nice Easter: 79/ 54 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest happ Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 Is snowpack also well above average? Yes, at historic levels in many areas. For it to be raining/snowing anywhere in California [ex north Coast] during mid-April is practically a miracle. Snowpack in southern Sierra [165%/177%] is running slightly behind central Sierra [183 -194%]. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anti Marine Layer Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 Looks like a double marine inversion right now with a very weak one in the 3000-5000 ft layer creating some puffy stratocumulus clouds and a more typical one drawing in low clouds to the L.A. coast.

Guest happ Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 If we could get a decent marine layer tonight we might get some measurable rain but high clouds have ruined any chance for stratus development in recent days. 76/ 54 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan the Weatherman Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 With 21.63" of rain since September 1st, This is now the 7th wettest water year on record! Is that total from your backyard, making it the 7th wettest year since you have been keeping records, or is that total from an official NWS site nearby? I was just wondering, and that is a good total regardless of where it was observed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan the Weatherman Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 Satellite image is not updating once again. It also looks like NOAA has changed the look of their weather sites. The site changes occurred sometime either late last night or early today. NWS sites now have a consistent look nationwide. The Western Region sites were the last to be converted over to the new format, while east coast NWS sites were converted a couple of years ago and the Southern Region sites were updated more recently in the past year or so.

Anti Marine Layer Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Hills are quickly becoming brown here, and despite the rainy winter, it could mean extra vegetation for next fire season. Hope to make up for it with jacarandas blooming soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anti Marine Layer Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 April so far has been warmer than average, but not too extreme except the last two days. Even days when we reached mid to upper 70s, it was quite breezy. Rather boring spring so far, even for California. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
