Storm Train Ready To Hit Northern and Finally Southern California Starting Mid Week As Tropical Jet Stream Becomes Active



(TheWeatherSpace.com) – The southern branch jet stream is about to become active as the ridge over the Northeast Pacific breaks down, which will bring storms back to California, and even finally heavy rainfall to Southern California, which has had extremely below normal rainfall amounts this year, making it the driest year in recorded history.

The start of the storm train will hit California all at once starting this Wednesday. This will hit Central and Northern California harder, and Southern California less. However this system on one computer model wants to be weaker … but judging by the current track of the system will likely be a slightly stronger one than modeled across Southern California so rainfall increasing by Wednesday into Wednesday night is extremely likely.

The strongest in the three part series hits on Friday into Saturday. This storm system promises to deliver very heavy rainfall amounts in a short period of time to both Northern and Southern California. The system has a strong surface low for down in this area, all thanks to the tropical jet. This means that it could be conceivable that severe weather and/or thunderstorms is going to be possible. A strong upper southern branch jet promises to bring the needed dynamics for such an event. The active jet into Southern California is making it look like January 2010, where a tornado hit.

Another storm is scheduled into the area by Sunday, however a building ridge south of it will drive it to Northern California instead, including the San Francisco Bay area.

CATCH THAT NAME "TRAIN"

GREAT... WE GET EXTREME... Should be interesting to see what Extreme is to these guys these days.
Batten down the hatches Captain! Let's see how extreme the inches per hr are.

Yes, well, that article and weather map are from 2 weeks ago (22 Feb.) and the storms are passed, or in S. Calif. passing today as I had light rain here all morning. My morning rains were the last gasps of this train of storms. Hope we have more "trains" like this one before summer.
