No sign of widespread/significant precipitation anywhere in California over the next 2+ weeks. Already large seasonal precip deficits will continue to grow, esp. across Norcal, as very strong and persistent northeastern Pacific ridge builds. #CAwx
In fact, much of the Northern Hemisphere mid-latitudes will experience anomalous ridging in the coming days. This hemispheric atmospheric mass displacement is a reflection of the presently record-strong positive phase of the Arctic Oscillation...
As @RobMayeda pointed out, this already prolonged dry spell is already leading to low soil moisture and dry vegetation at what is typically wettest time of year in California. #CAwx #CAfire
@RobMayeda From wildfire risk perspective, worst possible sequence would be continued dry Feb followed by brief burst of wet conditions in spring. Why? Late rains allow seasonal grasses/brush to grow rapidly, but accumulated precip deficit would prime older vegetation to burn. #CAwx #CAfire
