The word 'historic' seems to precede weather stories all too often this year and the storm front brewing in the Pacific this weekend is no different.
SAN FRANCISCO -- The word"historic" seems to precede weather stories all too often this year and the storm front brewing in the Pacific this weekend is no different.
"The current view of midlevel water vapor imagery shows the low pressure system that will be responsible for our upcoming rain in the Bay Area is currently exiting the Gulf of Alaska and approaching the Pacific Northwest coastline," the weather service said very early Saturday. This low will continue to move southward along the West Coast today and park itself west of Cape Mendocino by the evening.
Unlike the storm that recently triggered mudslides and flooding in Southern California, this weather system has no connection to the humid air of the tropics. It's rolling in from the northern Pacific and the Gulf of Alaska. While the showers will offer some relief to the parched region, the gusty winds ushering it in are not for the tinder dry hills. Wildfire concerns are elevated.
