Radar sometimes hits the ocean and confuses things. Its true.

Boring you say?

Lots of rain (snow in mountains) coming Thursday & Friday. Sustained wind (30kts) at coast. Also, most people suck at probability.

High Pressure Block Moving In

Expect dry, slightly cold weather for a week or so.

Radar follows the laws of physics

The Earth is curved and radar beams are straight (essentially), so stuff at ground level is hard to see.
