Small to Medium Storms, Followed by Two Weeks of Dry?
By Paul Huntington
This next storm appears to be a mediocre medium size storm. I'm seeing a dry mid late November along with the Climate Center seeing that trend also and is appearing like a spotty Winter storm wise with strong ridging dominating for majority of it but anything is possible nowadays with our extreme climate. The quiet ITCZ along the equatorial Pacific ocean and negative PNA phase is very supportive of a drier air mass over Central California when the long wave trough shifts east and could be a Winter with a spatial pattern of 4-7 days of rain/snow and then two weeks dry sort of thing and repeating that cycle through its entirety.
