2020 - 2021 California and Southwest Weather Discussion Thread

Bay Area forecast discussion says to be prepared.

Quote
Ahead of the event, we recommend taking today as a day of
preparation. Today is a perfect day to make sure you are ready for
the strong winds, moderate to heavy rain, and the possibility of
power outages. Charge your phone and battery back ups, tie down
outdoor furniture and trash cans, check your emergency kit
supplies, know where and how to get updates from your local
emergency management, and clear storm drains and gutters.

Seems the AR is not just a Pacific event as discussed in this article. AR-blessing and a curse

https://weather.com/science/weather-explainers/news/atmospheric-river-explained

Moving flooding rain to snowpack storage is one of the main purposes of aquariusradar. The politicians in charge of finding solutions to California water shortages breathe a sigh of relief as they see the current AR eliminate immediate need for research on drought mitigation. The voter concerns are temporarily quelled. It is but one AR. As in the past, the drought problem goes away until the next dry emergency returns.

My parents' house in Oakland had 4 inches between Friday (no time specified) and today at 11am when they replaced their two gauges. Between 11am and 5pm today only, they had 2.5 inches and it was still raining at that point.

Does Copperopolis have an official NWS station? Curious how much rain my grandfather is receiving out of these AR's!

Even a cocorahs site I'd be fine with.
