All ashore!

Here are the twin Northern Hemisphere views courtesy of the US Navy for Wednesday morning. I don't have time to draw little funky lines on them today. I wanted you to see them without having to surf around the Navy website. Also, I wanted to archive them for future reference. Note the CPC's 6-10 day forecast below. (Click on the little one to see the big one.) It has California right smack in the crosshairs of all the incoming action from El Pacifico. I am already beginning to wonder if these great "gifts of the sea" might not change around the urgent drought dynamic facing California. We're talking a lot of water progged for California. We're talking rain and snow that could continue off and on for days.
Yes, we will read about the inevitable mudslides, dramatic rescues and "all the usual suspects." However, behind the hype and hyperbole of the CNN Headline news, we could be witnessing a "sea change," pun intended, with regard to the California water supply situation. This type of incoming precipitation has potential to also really change the summer fire dynamics. All of this portends good news instead of continuing dire bad news. California is one of those places that seems to always attract the dramatic. Perhaps that's because of the state's size, style or geography. Who knows? It sure looks like another dramatic chapter is about to unfold in The Golden State. It definitely has me on the edge of my seat!
