I just checked the jet steam:

There is a tiny low pressure (counter clockwise swirly),
but is really weak and may only affect British Columbia.

It may be a few weeks before anything wet happens.

looked like some rain/snow went through yesterday
and the day before. there are the CA water websites
i use for that and the regional radars. if you want
links i'll post 'em.

i also check GEOS water vapor loop when i think of it
and want to see what is possible:

right now the pattern has shifted again to where the
moisture is coming from the NW and not the SW, but for
a while a few weeks ago the pattern had shifted to where
some storms were being driven by moisture coming from
the SW. i hope it shifts again and they get some
decent rains before the snow season is up.
