Storm Alert
A STRONG PACIFIC STORM SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO REACH THE CALIFORNIA
COAST LATE ON THURSDAY...WITH SOUTH WINDS STRENGTHENING DURING THE
DAY THURSDAY...FOLLOWED BY HEAVY RAINS SPREADING FROM NORTH TO SOUTH
LATE THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT...CONTINUING INTO FRIDAY. THE NEXT
IN THE SERIES OF STRONG STORM SYSTEMS IS DUE IN BY SATURDAY NIGHT...
CONTINUING THROUGH SUNDAY. WE CAN LOOK FOR LOCAL FLOODING TO
DEVELOP...ALONG WITH HIGH SURF CONDITIONS...MUDSLIDES...POSSIBLE
WIND DAMAGE AND POWER OUTAGES...ESPECIALLY THURSDAY NIGHT AND EARLY
FRIDAY...AND AGAIN SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY. THIS IS EXPECTED TO BE
THE MOST SIGNIFICANT SERIES OF STORMS SINCE THOSE THAT OCCURRED LAST
DECEMBER.
So basically, here comes the biggest storm yet. Be on the lookout for other cars on the road ways, and watch for trees in your area. I'm hoping this storm is all that it's supposed to be, we haven't had good snow in a while.

I just looked over the computer models, and they aren't kidding about the wind. This storm is going to be really nasty.
I hope there is lightning, we never get enough lightning around here.

Well, my best guess is that Saturday night and Sunday won't be as windy as Thursday night and Friday, HOWEVER, typically, a setup like this means that Saturday night and Sunday will be COLD, and showery, at times, HEAVY...
Sorry man, looks like a wet day to me. plan an indoors meet.

I'd choose to delay the meet another week. With the amount of cars comming for the meet/drive it would be nice for pics and all it the damn weather would co-operate. Oh well, I will just keep a close eye on the forcast. They forcasted rain today and it didn't. Maybe it will fizzle out...I hope

More proof that it may fizzle. I am staying hopeful...ya ya ya, all caps but it aint my fault.
THE MAJOR PATTERN CHANGE THAT HAS BEEN CONSISTENTLY FORECAST TO
DEVELOP LATE THIS WEEK IS STILL ON TRACK. BY THURSDAY A SIGNIFICANT
UPPER TROUGH WILL HAVE DEVELOPED OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC AND THE
FIRST EMBEDDED SHORTWAVE WILL HAVE EJECTED OUT OF THE LONGWAVE TROUGH
TOWARD NORTHERN CA. SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL RAMP UP LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT
AND THURSDAY MORNING AHEAD OF THE FIRST SURFACE FRONT. RAIN WILL
LIKELY BEGIN IN THE NORTH BAY BY MID AFTERNOON ON THURSDAY AND THEN
SPREAD OVER THE REMAINDER OF THE DISTRICT THURSDAY NIGHT. IT APPEARS
THE HEAVIEST RAIN WITH THIS INITIAL IMPULSE WILL BE ACROSS THE NORTH
BAY WITH RAINFALL TOTALS TAPERING OFF SIGNIFICANTLY SOUTH OF THE SFO
BAY AREA. THE GFS HAS BEGUN TO SHOW SOME RUN TO RUN VARIATIONS IN THE
TIMING OF INDIVIDUAL SHORTWAVES AND PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN AFTER THE
INITIAL FRONTAL PASSAGE. THESE TIMING DIFFICULTIES ARE NOT
SURPRISING CONSIDERING THE 130-150 KT UPPER JET THAT IS FORECAST TO
ROAR ACROSS THE EASTERN PACIFIC ALONG 35N AND ACROSS CENTRAL CA FROM
FRIDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THEREFORE...THIS FAR IN ADVANCE IT'S
NEARLY FUTILE TO TRY TO PINPOINT THE TIME PERIODS OF HEAVIEST RAIN
AND STRONGEST WINDS FROM FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY. WITH THE UPPER JET
FORECAST BY THE GFS TO SAG SLOWLY SOUTH...THE FOCUS OF HEAVIEST
PRECIP WILL LIKELY MOVE SOUTH THROUGH THE WEEKEND. HYDRO PROBLEMS
WON'T LIKELY BE A PROBLEM INITIALLY AS THERE HAS BEEN A SUBSTANTIAL
AMOUNT OF TIME SINCE OUR LAST HEAVY RAIN EVENTS. BUT URBAN FLOODING
IS CERTAINLY A POSSIBILITY WITH THE INITIAL HEAVY RAINS THURSDAY
NIGHT...WITH MORE SERIOUS HYDRO PROBLEMS BECOMING A POSSIBILITY BY
LATE IN THE WEEKEND IN ANY AREAS THAT SEE PROLONGED HEAVY RAINS.
