'Pineapple Express' to bring rain to Bay Area this week
An "Atmospheric River" will be flowing into the Bay Area later this week. It's actually a long, narrow band of highly-concentrated moisture forming over the Pacific and moving toward the northern and central California coast. This storm is also known as a "Pineapple Express", because it's drawing tropical moisture from the general area of Hawaii.
