(No Chamber of Commerce-approved scenes of sun-dappled waves lapping gingerly upon the rocks, while sea lions frolic and otters swim lazily by...not THIS YEAR!!! Better bring your 'brella to Pebble Beach THIS time....)

...WET AND STORMY WEATHER TO RETURN TO THE BAY AREA THIS WEEK...
AFTER AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF DRY WEATHER THROUGH MUCH OF JANUARY AND THE BEGINNING OF FEBRUARY...A DRAMATIC SHIFT IN THE WEATHER PATTERN IS EXPECTED THIS WEEK. A CHANGE TO WET... AND AT TIMES STORMY WEATHER WILL BEGIN WEDNESDAY AND CONTINUE THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEKEND.
THE FIRST IN A SERIES OF RAIN STORMS WILL REACH THE NORTH BAY BY LATE TUESDAY NIGHT...THEN SPREAD OVER THE ENTIRE DISTRICT ON WEDNESDAY. RAINFALL AMOUNTS WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL BE LIGHT TO MODERATE...RANGING FROM NEARLY AN INCH IN THE WETTEST NORTH BAY MOUNTAIN LOCATIONS TO LESS THAN A HALF INCH ACROSS INTERIOR VALLEYS.
A BRIEF BREAK IN THE RAIN COULD OCCUR WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND EARLY THURSDAY... BEFORE A STRONGER STORM TAKES AIM AT THE REGION THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. GUSTY SOUTH WINDS WILL DEVELOP ON THURSDAY...ALONG WITH AREAS OF HEAVY RAIN. WINDS COULD REACH SUSTAINED SPEEDS OF 30 MPH WITH GUSTS OVER 40 MPH DURING THE HEIGHT OF THIS STORM.
IN ADDITION TO TAPPING INTO A MORE MOIST SUBTROPICAL ENVIRONMENT... THIS FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL BE SLOWER TO MOVE THROUGH THE DISTRICT. THEREFORE... RAINFALL AMOUNTS WITH THIS STORM COULD BE DOUBLE THOSE OF WEDNESDAYS SYSTEM.
AS WE HEAD TOWARDS THE END OF THE WEEK AND NEXT WEEKEND...INDICATIONS ARE THAT THE FOCUSING MECHANISM FOR CONTINUED RAINFALL WILL STALL SOMEWHERE AROUND THE SAN FRANCISCO OR MONTEREY BAY REGION. THIS COULD LEAD TO A PROLONGED PERIOD OF MODERATE TO PERHAPS HEAVY RAIN AT TIMES. IF CURRENT PROJECTIONS HOLD THROUGH FRIDAY...GROUNDS WILL HAVE BECOME SATURATED AND ADDITIONAL RAINFALL THEREAFTER COULD RESULT IN LOCALIZED HYDROLOGIC PROBLEMS. {That means FLOODING in English!!!} ANOTHER ROUND OF STRONG AND GUSTY WINDS IS ALSO POSSIBLE LATE FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT...COMPOUNDING THE WEATHER SITUATION.
ANYONE WITH TRAVEL PLANS LATER THIS WEEK AND NEXT WEEKEND SHOULD PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO LATER FORECASTS...HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOKS...SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENTS AND POSSIBLE WATCHES...WARNINGS OR ADVISORIES. LISTEN FOR FORECASTED RAINFALL AMOUNTS AND WIND SPEEDS THAT COULD CAUSE DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS AND POSSIBLE POWER OUTAGES.
{Is THAT all??? What, no LOCUSTS???}
You heard it here first, look for Padraig to be accepting that trophy come Sunday...first trip, first win - I'm calling my shot right NOW...
I also just found out that Padraig Harrington (one of my FAVORITE professionals) will be teeing it up for the VERY first time at Pebble Beach - just one more reason to set the TiVo to capture EVERY minute of this special tournament - see this article for more details and celebrity/professional pairings.
