On Tuesday, Oct 13 at 1pm PT, I'll have my "big October El Niño" update. There's a lot to discuss regarding this extremely strong event and the growing likelihood of substantial California & SW US impacts.

So extremely proud of my boss & mentor Jack Dangermond, not only for his induction last night into the @americanacademy.bsky.social, but for his beautiful speech on behalf of his Class V (Leadership), and as brilliantly introduced by @jfallows.bsky.social, @harvard.edu
