A Thundershower Drifts Over San Jose, CA (3-7-16)

In this video, it shows my area getting pummeled with a heavy shower (maybe a thundershower) during midday of Monday, March 7, 2016. The weather was actually nice and partly cloudy during the morning hours. However, as the day went on, I've noticed cumulus clouds around the area trying to tower. That's a good indication of an unstable airmass aloft. The same system that had brought heavy rain to our area just the previous evening was still slowly departing. It was this system's main low that was hovering above the region this day, which explains the thunderstorm activity... Even SoCal saw a decent line of t-storms move thru this same morning. However, we got some of the action up here as well, though not as 'great'. I didn't have my car at the time as well, since my dad used it to do his errands...ugh! I need my own storm chasing vehicle! Anyways, this brief heavy shower was the 'last hurrah' for this storm system before it headed eastward. This storm system was storm number 2 in an ongoing atmospheric river event... Weather scenario & details: An atmospheric river event was in store for California for early March 2016, despite a very dry & mild February. The 1st storm had hit by the 1st weekend of the month, bringing heavy rain & gusty winds. As we started the 2nd week of March, a 2nd strong system had brought more of the same thing across California. While we were still on the heels of that 1st storm that had battered us early month, a new storm had pushed in. Rainfall from this 2nd storm were to be 1-2 inches in NorCal and 0.50-1 inch in SoCal. Flooding was a concern, since the ground was already saturated from the 1st storm. In addition, t-storms were possible with this 2nd system due to its (more) unstable air mass. Even a line of strong t-storms had drifted right thru the Los Angeles area Monday morning (March 7, 2016). Although we need all the rain we can get due to our ongoing drought, the copious amounts that were falling in a short time have proven to be too much of a good thing... Looking ahead: Right when we were giving up on El Niño, especially after seeing such a dry February, a parade of strong winter storms were (finally) aimed at our drought-parched state. Impacts from the storms so far (Storms 1 and 2 in this atmospheric river event) had brought heavy rain & wind to my area in San Jose, CA within the first week of March 2016. At this moment (as of March 7), it looks like more rain was still in store for California in the foreseeable future. Looks like this was El Nino's last hurrah this winter! Are we on the verge of a 'Miracle-March'? Fingers crossed...we still have a long way to go in terms of relieving our serious drought here. (Footage filmed Monday, March 7, 2016 around San Jose, CA)
