Moisture Hole Reaches California
Today's H2O vapor imagery shows a dramatic "moisture hole" crossing key California.
Here are 2 amazing shots for one AM and vi AM PDT this morning.
It almost looks scary.
These images exhibit the temperatures of H2O vapor inward the atmosphere. White areas dot lots of H2O vapor inward the upper troposphere (roughly 15,000 to 30,000 ft), spell black areas dot little. Thus, black colors exhibit dry out atmospheric condition inward the middle to upper troposphere--the wet hole.
This "moisture hole" is associated amongst a pronounced upper degree low, every bit shown past times the WRF model run final black (the 500 hPa, most 18,000 ft, heights are shown, amongst winds in addition to temperature). Moisture swings or then the low, only values are less inward its core. Air that swings or then the depression rises to a greater extent than than air within the depression center.
This twelvemonth nosotros convey gotten an odd set out of saltation upper degree lows heading into California...and at that spot is another---even stronger--predicted for side past times side week.
This designing has brought clouds, atmospheric precipitation in addition to thunderstorms to northern CA, southern Oregon, in addition to northern Nevada. The NWS radars exhibit lots of showers, some heavy moving westward over Oregon
And the lightning strikes for the 24-h menstruation ending one AM this morn were impressive. Quite a number.
Precipitation totals over the West Coast for the 24-h menstruation ending 8 AM had some pregnant totals over northern CA, which is champaign practiced for their H2O situation. CA reservoirs are inward really practiced variety in addition to the like shooting fish in a barrel saltation wet helps proceed the reason moist.
With all the activity going south, Puget Sound was dry out again, amongst solely .08 inches inward the Sea-Tac pelting jurist then far this month. Will nosotros crunch the all-time tape (.12 inches)? The side past times side model run volition likely furnish the answer.
