@ucanrpam.bsky.social“We know the likelihood of a wet winter in southern California is now very high," @ucanr.edu climate scientist Daniel Swain @weatherwest.bsky.social said Wednesday. "[Fire] would further raise the stakes.” @gabriellecanon.bsky.social reports

@weatherwest.bsky.socialReposted by @ucanrpam.bsky.socialI'll have a livestream update on "hot Santa Ana" wind event & associate fire weather threat across parts of California at 4pm PT on Thu, Oct 15. I'll discuss where recent rains have--and have not--meaningfully mitigated risk, and assess any active fires.
@ucanr.eduReposted by @ucanrpam.bsky.socialA wetter-than-average winter may be ahead for #California!
UC ANR climate scientist @weatherwest.bsky.social says confidence has climbed to 90–95%, with January and February potentially bringing the heaviest rainfall as #ElNino strengthens. www.kqed.org/news/1210414...

@ucanrpam.bsky.socialSwain said all 10 of the major models “are singing roughly the same tune” about precipitation possibilities
@ucanrpam.bsky.socialThe odds of an unusually wet winter in the Bay Area are rising as El Niño continues to strengthen, reports @climatedaddykqed.bsky.social.
“This might be a year when the Hollywood version of bad weather in California actually ends up coming true” Daniel Swain @weatherwest.bsky.social @ucanr.edu said

@weatherwest.bsky.socialReposted by @ucanrpam.bsky.socialUpdate: There is a rapidly emerging fire weather threat in parts of SoCal Thu-Fri in places that have not seen significant recent precip (esp. western LA metro). A warm Santa Ana event will bring strong, gusty winds even to lower elevs, but vegetation moisture highly variable.
@weatherwest.bsky.socialReposted by @ucanrpam.bsky.socialIn case you missed it live earlier, my "big October El Niño update" was recorded and is now available. This was a bit of a marathon session, but I covered a lot of ground and answered quite a few excellent viewer questions submitted via live chat! Check it out.
@weatherwest.bsky.socialReposted by @ucanrpam.bsky.socialHere's a link to the recording of this Sep 30 Marin County meeting. I know many have asked, and MMCMC has been nice enough to get the recording uploaded (the El Niño-focused part starts about 35 minutes in!). mccmc.org/wp-content/u...
