Long-Range:
The latest trends on the forecast models is for the active storm track in the Pacific NW the last 2 days of the month into the first 2 days of March to stay to our north.
The pattern could shifts starting around the 3rd of March, possibly allowing a slightly more active pattern to return to northern CA. We’ll continue to watch the trends as we get closer.
