Today the headlines are talking about an Atmospheric River about to hit the West Coast. Anyone ever heard of it before? It seems that every few years there is a new catch phrase for a weather related event. It's as if this event has never occured before, and it has. You have to wonder if this fancy name is just away for Weather forcasters to get a bigger number of viewers following them, or an easier way for them to hashtag the event on twitter. It's an interesting name for lots of stationary rain over a several day period. Yes, Atmospheric River is much more catchy.
Whatever you call it the event has the potential to be very distructive with lots of flooding. Here is hoping it's not.
