I'm watching this storm with interest, but I'm a little bit skeptical due to all the extreme language that the NWS forecast used around the storm in January February of this year, which ended up being basically a nothing Burger.

What? The storms in January and February were a huge deal for California coastal regions. The president visited Santa Cruz county afterwards.

It depends on which ones you're talking about. I got hit pretty hard by the rain around New Years in late December and early January, so I was watching the forecasts fairly closely.

There's also the question of what constitutes a huge deal.

It was the later storms where the NWS is using far more extreme language that ended up being basically inconsequential
