Day 350: West Coast Deluge
A strong storm is poised to affect the western United States over the next several days. This storm will bring in a very moist airmass resulting in widespread significant precipitation. Of particular interest is the precipitation maximum in the Sierra Nevadas where most of this will fall in the form of snow. Feel free to follow this event over at one of my former student’s website Powdiction.
