The Dweebs believe that together, these two teleconnections have had more effect upon California’s dry weather this winter then anything else! Including the MJO
The forecast is for the block to weaken and fade away by the end of the month…..It is beginning to break down now…..Seasonally?
So the big long wave negative height anomaly that has been static over the east should finally push off into the Atlantic…opening up the wavelength for storms for the west coast. Don’t put away your boards just yet!!!
The central west coast storm door has a much better chance of opening up beginning the last 5 days of March…then well into April.
It may very well end up a wet April. More later>>>>>>>>>>>
