Last storm in the series, then fair as far as the eye can see

Is El Nino over? No, not really, but we are getting a solid break starting as early as this weekend.

The final storm should hit us some time this evening into tomorrow. All in all, it is expected to be weak. Just like the last few systems, this one is splitting off shore. The last one hit SoCal pretty hard causing all kinds of problems including mud slides and saturating fields. The bulls eye for tonight's system is expected to shift north.

As the heights increase over California rise, the wet weather moves north. Plenty of snow for Whistler creating havoc for those down hill racers (they prefer ice to powder).

This weekend and into next weeks expect plenty of sunshine and warmth. Temperatures will be on the increase through at least mid week. Great weather for the holiday weekend. Finally. Off shore flow is expected for SoCal, and perhaps up into the Bay Area. This will further push the temperatures up and we may be enjoying some nice mid February 70F temps.

The fantasy charts have the rain returning to the Bay Area as early as Friday the 19th and solid systems beginning to run into the coast by Tuesday the 23rd. The operative word being 'fantasy'. Will need to monitor and report as we get closer. Enjoy the impending sun and warmth.
