The Washington Post reports on a weather front building off the West coast of the US:

A river of atmospheric moisture is setting up between the tropics in the Pacific Ocean and the West Coast of the United States, forecast to deliver up to nine inches of rain to northern coastal California, and as much as three or four feet of snow to the Sierra around Lake Tahoe.

“In fact, if the forecast verifies,” writes Weather Underground’s Christopher C. Burt, “it may be the strongest and wettest storm to hit the region since October 2009 when the last major ‘pineapple express’ soaked the state.”
