Summary

[edit]
Description
English: After tracking a series of atmospheric rivers that have drenched California this year, NOAA satellites monitored the latest storm to begin impact the state on Mar. 19, 2023. Rain and snow triggered flash flooding, caused numerous evacuations and left over 350,000 without power. The atmospheric river fueled a mid-latitude cyclone that led to the formation of a hurricane-like eye when two low pressure areas converged over San Francisco. NOAA satellites provided vital information about airborne moisture for more accurate weather forecasts and to predict flood risks and manage water resources.

This visible imagery from GOES-18 (GOES West) shows the mid-latitude cyclone fueled by an atmospheric river. The cyclone formed a hurricane-like eye when two low pressure areas converged over San Francisco.
