The next weather event to watch

I am now shifting my attention to what is to come later in the week. Models are showing a huge plume of water gaining energy and taking aim at the PNW on Thursday. You can see it below in the east/west horizontal cloud stream stretching across the entire Pacific. Models have this meeting up with warm SW flow (6-8000’ freezing levels) right in time for it to hit the PNW. Long range models have some unbelievable precipitation amounts over 20” of rain over the Holiday weekend. Even if these amounts are high it still has potential for serious flooding throughout the state.
