Heading down a bit here in California's Central Valley, according to the map. What's the source?

Are they forgetting the Pacific NW (WA, OR, ID) or is it just my color blindness peaking out since I'm just seeing that they are all grayed out.

Here in sunny NW AZ, I saw a cloud a few days ago. Worked in a tee shirt yesterday. I think they are talking some rain next week, but they always just say "30%". Whatever that means. Usually just enough to make my truck get all spotted.

Then we get the 70% all at once and it comes down in buckets. But... beats the heck out of that frozen stuff to make snow people out of.

I got this from the the weather channel website.

It represents the amount of water above or below average, so if you received average rainfall amounts then your in the greyed out area (the northwest).

It goes to +20" above to -20" below average of rainfall.

'bout average...

That big grey mass in the Pacific NW strikes as funny though. I wonder what happened there?

I probably should be paying attention to this before planning a motorcycle trip in the good old US of A...
