Next 3 in Pacific pipeline (& that subtropical jet). 1st wave into #cawx now will get damped in flow across U.S. & weaken, but still w/zone of precip mid-late week. The 2 after that look to be classic strong #March cyclones, this wknd & mid next week, w/#snow & #severe #weather. pic.twitter.com/2iQzAS43IS— Stu Ostro (@StuOstro) March 5, 2019
