October 2016 Summary

November 23, 2016

CW3E provides a summary of October 2016, one of the wettest Octobers on record for the Western United States. Several Atmospheric Rivers (ARs) made landfall along the U.S. West Coast and led to record setting precipitation production. For specific details on AR events refer to the CW3E AR Summaries, found on the CW3E News page.
