Jr I worry about these things but I'm going to have to see other models jump on board before I believe that GEM. Not to say this won't be bad but that would be absolutely catastrophic if it verified.

Yeah it should help. But with the amount of rain the RGEM is showing over a 48hr period (especially across the north shore), flooding will undoubtedly be a problem. Good news is the other models look much less extreme at this point.

That doesn't look bad at all. More along the lines of what we saw in mid Jan 2017 after the long cold snap.

A river of stupid tweets. :14clown: :14clown:
The media sensationalizing these terms in or out of context is the biggest issue I have, not the term itself

The GFS is really progressive with the moisture and most goes north.

Good to see, the ice melted today off the trees in the central valley today which was terrific to see. :thumbup:

Basically Ty my man we would want to see these signals showing up this week. a mid Feb. event just doesn't cut it for me, Feb 2019 was an unbelievable exception. IMO
