The West Coast and Pacific Northwest remain the hot spots for heavy rain/snow and wind. The jet stream will buckle early next week allowing for a small atmospheric river to hit California around 11/9. This storm system then moves into the Intermountain West with snow and wind. For a more in-depth explanation please watch my forecast video.
The latest Integrated Vapor Transport forecast does indicate a weak to potentially moderate atmospheric river 11/9-ish in Central and Northern California.
Notice the surge of wind on 11/9-11/10 as the jet stream targets California. That wind surge then moves into the interior Rockies. Click to enlarge:
