[pct-l] Beware: the pineapple express is bearing down on the PCT

[sdscpcts]

It looks like south of the Mojave this will be mainly a wind event with only a 20 percent chance of rain on Saturday. The SierraNevada will get a lot of precipitation. Which may mean a better snow pack.

Hitting hard this weekend according to:

How much precipitation will California and the Northwest get?  Here
are the precipitation totals for the next 8 days from the European
Center model (courtesy of weatherbell.com).

For California, we are talking about as much as 4-8 inches in terrain
and heavy amounts (over 2 inches) over much of central and northern
CA.  Remember April is typically a month that California dries out as
the jet stream usually moves north.

In the Northwest, we will get a piece of the action, with several
inches everywhere, but particularly heavy precipitation on the
Olympics and in southern BC.
