Atmospheric Rivers are long, narrow regions in the atmosphere – like rivers in the sky – that transport most of the water vapor outside of the tropics. These columns of vapor move with the weather, carrying an amount of water vapor roughly equivalent to the average flow of water at the mouth of the Mississippi River. When the atmospheric rivers make landfall, they often release this water vapor in the form of rain or snow.
When the weather comes from Hawaii it is called the Pineapple Express. The weather folks are saying it will be very humid and rainy for the next couple of days. We will feel like we are in Florida.
Until tomorrow...
