A weather system stimulated by the “Pineapple Express” is expected to deliver a steady stream of moisture for the next few days directly from Hawaii to the West Coast.
Meteorologists are describing the Pineapple Express as a long, narrow plume that pipes moisture from the tropics into the western United States.
The storm is expected to deposit enough snow on California’s mountains that the snowpack — currently 35% of average for this time of year — could be at 75% or higher by this weekend. As much as 4 feet of snow is predicted to fall in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
Here is another look at the Pineapple Express and weather around the globe:
