AR sounds so nice but I would like to see a “pineapple express” come through.
Trust the science. Heard that one before…trust your eyeballs. They’ve been spraying for days. Drought or rain, take your pick.

@TPC….BTW, where is Jake Jankowski?
Nothing more dystopian then the “scientific” dictatorship being pushed on the public. I used to love science. I will never “trust the science” again. Don’t care how serious these fools act about rain, it’s just rain, it’s just weather, it’s just 15 days, it’s just..it’s just..it’s just…was the matter? You don’t trust the science? Never trust the science
I agree. There is no true science any more, only political science.
The term “atmospheric river” is fairly new and is used to describe a commonly found weather system. In the 1990s researchers looking at pictures of the globe taken from satellites noticed that the clouds form swirls and bands that moved along like snakes. Rather than calling them atmospheric dragons, atmospheric snakes, or atmospheric choo-choo trains, they decided to call them the more mature sounding atmospheric rivers.
Seriously, there was some new science involved in that they came up with a better understanding of common storm systems. In the past it was felt a storm was a cloud or a band of clouds moving sideways while dumping rain or snow. What they found was that storm systems were more like choo-choo trains with a line of clouds moving along lengthwise while dumping rain or snow. They tend to be 100 to 300 miles wide and thousands of miles long.
At any one time there are several atmospheric river style storms active on Earth.
@Dorothy – A Pineapple Express is an atmospheric river style storm that is moving from the area of the Hawaiian Islands to the west coast. The storms bring warm air and rain.
@WC Resident…Do the choo-choos all meet up at the junction, where Uncle Joe is movin’ kinda’ slow? I’d be movin’ slow too if I was peekin’ in that water tower.
Thumbs up for your comment, especially for giving the definition of the Pineapple Express, I learned something new today.
Yeah, a Pineapple Express would help keep heating bills down which otherwise may be stratospheric this winter.
I guess you just going to have to give up science. What’s that mean living in a cave bathing in mud? No that might be too far up to science ladder huh. Lol
Atmospheric River is just one more term being used to frighten the public into accepting whatever government over-reach the Democrats are currently pushing. In the old days we called it heavy rains, thundershowers, etc…BTW- we have had heavy rains, on and off, since the days of Noah! This is not a new thing that suddenly happened because of “global warming”.
These modern day weather guessers only rely on computer programs to forecast the weather.
I think I’ll rely on my bones.
Or the barometer.
The computer programs just can’t out predict a human with experience.
I used to trust science, until scientist sold their souls for the dollar.
Nations fail when good character values are shunned.
Don’t for Cecil the Weather Beetle!
Stupid science. What has any scientist ever done to benefit mankind. Thank goodness there are no Republican scientists.
Missy – really ?
There are “no Republican scientists?”
Please prove your claim.
Otherwise, go back and sit in the corner with your pointy cap on.
So, I get up this morning, and no rain. The weatherman was wrong yet again.
( forget )
Atmosfearic River.
Only on Claycord can a weather system be made into a con conspiracy theory about the demon commie libs and how science is a lie but snowflake feelings are the truth.
It’s rain people. Be happy, we need it! Or is that a liberal conspiracy as well? Those commies with their buckets emptying the reservoirs, we have to stop them!
Atmospheric River, that Atmospheric River
He must know sumpthin’, but he don’t say nothin’
He just keeps rollin’, he keeps on rollin’ along
He don’t plant taters, and he don’t plant cotton
And them what plants ’em is soon forgotten
But Atmospheric River, jest keeps rollin’ along
You and me, we sweat and strain
Bodies all achin’ and wracked with pain
Tote that barge and lift that bale
Ya get a little drunk and ya lands in ja-ail
I gets weary and so sick of tryin’
I’m tired of livin’, but I’m feared of dyin’
And Atmospheric River, he just keeps rollin’ along…
Nah…. it kinda loses it’s charm.
Nice job.
I wish they would just say it is going to rain for a few days in a row. It is not a river.
Forecasters predict a 61% chance of rain today. But the weather pattern does not care what humans think. It either will rain, or not. The weather pattern is already set. The percent chance just measures the inability of forecasters to forecast. Weather forecasters only exist to make economic forecasters look good by comparison.
I believe whatever the weatherman tells me just like Raggedy Anne over at the Ministry of Information.
