Time to let up a bit doncha think? From Cliff Mass:
A Late April Precipitation Pattern I Have Never Seen Before
The model precipitation forecasts for the next few days is extraordinarily unusual for late April, with some aspects unique for any time of the year.
We are talking about an amazingly long and wide precipitation/moisture band coming from the west that will bring record amounts to some locations from northern CA to southern WA.
Let me show you what I mean and be prepared to be impressed. I will start with the 24h precipitation ending 4 AM Monday from the UW WRF model (relatively coarse outer domain). I have never seen anything like this: a very wide band of precipitation stretching thousands of miles due east into the Pacific. The width of the precipitation band is extremely unusual (very wide).
Much more at the site - lots of charts. This is not related to any pineapple express phenomenon, this is coming out of the west and headed straight for us. Had just under 0.1" this afternoon. Sky is completely overcast which is a bummer as we are still running a very high planetary K-Index so chances of aurora are good.
