The term "Atmospheric River" has been used by local meteorologists for a long while. We used to call it the "Pineapple Connection". And yes I know it is not an official NWS term.

No, not “Pineapple Connection.”

Pineapple Express. That’s been used forever.

My dad used to use that when he visited us in CA from Pennsylvania. He and mom went to Hawaii a number of times after they retired and he would always stop by and use that term. He was a great, jovial guy and hearing him use “Pineapple Express” and “spritz of pineapple juice” (to describe a light rain shower) always cracked me up. I sure miss him, mom and those days.
