For your reference. Check out what is happening over in Alaska and BC by November 3rd. Strange weather we are having.

Yep...that's a nice Gulf of Alaska low.

Sandy...latest drop near center had 950MB with 11 kts of wind...so probably 949 or 948 MB now. Movement b/w last 2 VDM's is 010 degrees. So...its now moving north. Winds at FL were 102kts in the SW quad.

That's just the latest installment of this incredible freight train of moisture we've been getting for the last couple of weeks east of the Cascades in Washington and Oregon. West of the mountains it's pretty normal but not over here. The precipitation storm totals are nothing like Sandy but an inch or two this time of year is unusual for the arid Columbia Basin. Prior to this hadn't really rained for many, many months.
