Storms Bearing Down

Spring morning, Yosemite Falls and the Merced RiverSpring morning, Yosemite Falls and the Merced River

It may seem strange to show a spring photo in January, but this is a little preview of what Yosemite might look like in May and June if forecasters are right. They’re calling for a very wet series of storms over the next week or two, which bodes well for the waterfalls. It looks like El Nino is finally kicking in!

Usually with a pattern like this there are some breaks between systems, and those breaks often supply some great opportunities to photograph clearing storms. But the National Weather Service is saying that there might not be any gaps in the precipitation for the next five days. I’m hoping for at least a small break or two during my upcoming workshop, but we’ll have to wait and see. It’s going to be an interesting week!
