Atmospheric River (Explored)
I was up at 4 AM to view the Super Moon. Instead, I got a view of a weather phenomenon which is quite rare for this time of year here in Solano County.

"Meteorologists use the term "atmospheric river" to describe a long, narrow plume piping deep moisture from the tropics into the mid-latitudes. One type of atmospheric river you may have heard of is the "Pineapple Express," a pronounced plume tapping moisture from the Hawaiian Islands to the U.S. West Coast. This is a type of weather pattern we look for from late fall into winter on the West Coast."
"However, as the National Weather Service pointed out, computer model guidance is showing a rare late-June atmospheric river that will take shape in the next few days. An image provided by the National Weather Service in Sacramento shows that one forecast model is depicting the highest levels of atmospheric moisture for late June in the last 30 years for a part of northern California."
