More Storms to Come. Spreading South

The ideas I put forth yesterday still hold for today. The stormy pattern remains from parts of northern California on north into Friday before charging south for the weekend throughout California.

I am going to show you a few charts today. The first two are the amount of rain or melted snow that accumulated in the 24-hour period in Washington and Oregon from yesterday morning to this morning.

WASHINGTON:

OREGON:

As for additional precipitation, I will bring you what the GFS is showing for additional precipitation for the time periods listed.

From this morning through Friday morning:

From this morning through Sunday late afternoon:

I think the GFS is probably underforecasting rain amounts in south-central and southern California for the weekend. The European is locally heavier than the GFS but not everywhere. I still want to wait for more models to try to predict precipitation in the Southwest. However, what I had from yesterday for the Northwest is looking good.

More on these storms as the week progresses.
