Rooting for a NW flow around here is suspect. It's probably my least favorite type of weather pattern...typically leads to dry and/or cloudy and/or breezy and/or wildfires. I'd rather live in the desert (southwest is on my radar) where that kind of weather just makes sense. Around here, this area is lush...or supposed to be. We need a dominant sw to easterly flow/storms/humidity with occasional frontal passages, not the other way around.
