Cyclone videos January 30th 2025 California is back in the weather headlines beginning tomorrow as a prolonged atmospheric river arrives across the northern part of the state. Many locations could see 5-10 inches or more through the middle of next week with heavy snow expected in the mountains Atmospheric rivers, as their name implies, are large channels of water in the atmosphere. They vary in size but can be 250–375 miles wide and over 1,000 miles long. Some carry more water than the biggest river on land, the Amazon River. Atmospheric rivers play important roles in annual water supplies around the world. These weather events supply 30–50% of precipitation and account for 90% of south-north water vapor transport for the U.S. west coast. In the northern hemisphere, this water transport usually starts in the south in the tropics and ends in the north. These storms were first defined by the term “atmospheric rivers” in the 1990s. Prior to that, the most famous atmospheric river in the northern hemisphere was often referred to as the “Pineapple Express” or “Chinook Winds,” and is still referred to that way. This particular atmospheric river pattern brings water from near Hawaii to the west coast of North America. Unlike physical rivers, atmospheric rivers transport water as vapor rather than liquid. Also, high- and low-pressure systems determine where they move. This means that models can be used to forecast where they will drop their water, but it is not certain. Because the movements of an atmospheric river can be unpredictable, it can be difficult to prepare for their arrival.
