The cake is still in the oven
Thursday October 21, 2010
FEW SHOWERS HERE OR THERE TODAY….NOT MUCH GOING ON UNTIL SATURDAY NIGHT OR SUNDAY……WET SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE PLUME HEADED INTO THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN SIERRA AS EARLY AS SATURDAY NIGHT OR SUNDAY…….MOISTURE IS FROM TYPHOON MEGI (SEE EARLIER DISCUSSION)….GFS IS DRYER….SO JURY NOT COMPLETELY IN YET…. ECMWF PAINTS 1 TO 3 INCHES OVER YOSEMITE BY MONDAY….WITH SNOW LEVELS QUITE HIGH. COOLER AIR FOLLOWING SO A GOOD FROST LIKELY EARLY NEXT WEEK.
CPC….STRONGEST LA NINA SINCE 1949
THE STRONGER THE LA NINA THE GREATER THE ODDS FOR DRYER THEN NORMAL CONDITIONS FOR SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA……MAIN THRUST OF MOISTURE/SUBTROPICAL FEEDS WILL BE INTO THE PACIFIC NORTH WEST THIS WINTER. THE DWEEBS ALSO “VERY CONCERNED” ABOUT THE PROSPECTS FOR DRIER THEN NORMAL WEATHER FOR THE SOUTHERN 2/3S OF CALIFORNIA INCLUDING THE CENTRAL/SOUTHERN SIERRA. STILL AT THIS POINT…..THE CAKE IS STILL IN THE OVEN BAKING……..WILL SEE HOW EVERYTHING IS SHAPED UP BY THE MIDDLE OF NOVEMBER.
