Today is the day when the atmospheric river will be heading out of the Golden State! According to the folks over at abc 7 LA, 4:30PM, Pacific Standard Time (PST), is the time when a good portion of the rain will be gone away.

Sure, there will be little sprinkles here and there. But, most of the drops that drench folks will be long gone. Folks will quickly notice when the atmospheric river is making its exit because there will be lighter rain, a brighter sun, and a bluer sky.

You see, folks, atmospheric rivers are actual rivers in the sky that darken everything by blocking out the sun with the water filled, heavy grey clouds.

The water in an atmospheric river comes from the tropics. The amount of water in an atmospheric river is equal to the average rate of water flow in the Gulf of Mexico (Mouth of the Mississippi River). Therefore, whenever an atmospheric river can no longer carry around all of that heaviness, it makes a pit stop and dumps tanks upon tanks of water onto the unsuspecting population below.

Due to the state of California’s lakes, ponds, rivers, streams, and soil not being able to handle the back to back dump of large of amounts of water on the state, there has been a massive overflow.

Levees have broken, flooding and mudslides have occurred, and all of that water has ended up on streets, roads, in businesses, and homes and at least two people died during last week’s atmospheric river storm.

The folks over at The Weather Channel reported that the current atmospheric river will unload amounts of rain and snow that will be equal to the amounts of rain and snow that fell down, last week.

So, don’t be surprise if a place like Santa Clara gets 10.31 inches again, or if folks in Monterey look around and they’re trekking through 13.36 inches of rain water like they were doing last week.

As for the snow, well, folks living in the Northern California shouldn’t be surprise if they have to dig out a foot of snow.
