Crazy Weather in the Nor Cal

Not often that you see the National Weather Service make these kinds of statements:

LATEST GFS (Global Forecast System) HAS A 969 MB LOW FORECAST OFF THE OREGON COAST BY LATE IN
THE DAY SUNDAY. THIS WOULD PROBABLY GENERATE WINDS ABOVE WARNING
CRITERIA...VERY HEAVY RAIN...AND AGAIN A VERY STRONG THREAT OF
COASTAL FLOODING AS SEAS WILL EXCEED 20 FEET LATE SUNDAY INTO
MONDAY. IT IS ALWAYS DANGEROUS TO MAKE COMPARISONS BUT HAVING
LIVED THOROUGH FEBRUARY 1986...THIS CURRENT PATTERN IS BEGINNING TO
HAVE THAT LOOK TO IT. BOTH THE EURO AND GFS CONTINUE THE ONSLAUGHT
OF RAIN INTO THE LATER PART OF NEXT WEEK THUS MAKING THIS A VERY
EXTENDED RAINY PERIOD. FEBRUARY 1986 WAS ALSO A VERY EXTENDED
RAINY PERIOD WITH A GOOD SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE TAP AS THESE STORMS
HAVE HAD.

AGAIN WITH THE SATURATED GROUNDS AND EXPECTED WINDY CONDITIONS WITH
EACH STORM COULD SEE SOME MAJOR POWER OUTAGES AND WIDESPREAD
FLOODING OVER THE NEXT WEEK. ALL CONCERNED SHOULD MAKE SURE THEY
HAVE ADEQUATE EMERGENCY SUPPLIES OF FOOD...WATER...AND BATTERIES
FOR FLASHLIGHTS AND PORTABLE RADIOS. THIS COULD BE A VERY SERIOUS
AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS NEXT 5 TO 10 DAYS.

krikey!
