Many of you know the AR (atmos River) scale, before that we estab’d R-Cat scale for reporting historically wettest 3-day periods at stations. An R-cat 4 is HUGE, over 500 mm (20 inch) in 3days. The past 3 days have brought RCat lvl precip to 121 stations in Calif!!!! …

Can’t recall an occasion when I’ve seen one of these alerts with more than 10-20 having stations risen to these levels; only a few days with any occur per year (by design). THIS IS AN AMAZING STORM!!

⚠ Lake enhanced showers are beginning to blossom roughly along the CA/NV state line SE of Tahoe. Heavier snow showers may lead to rapidly changing road conditions through this afternoon.

Some serious (~AR 5 levels!) atmospheric-river storminess forecast for Oregon next week. (Forecasts this far ahead often moderate as their arrivals approach but even an AR4 cd be dangerous.) See more ARscale & AR forecast products @CW3E_Scripps

And its thus tat time of yr when I need to remind folks of this tool which, basin by basin, shows the ensemble forecasts of precip, rain vs snow, freezing levels that are so relevant to evolving flood risks this time of year.

Remember when SCOTUS trashed the Chevron policy this summer & all seemed lost? That may turn out to be Roberts & MAGA justices' (inadvertent) gift that will slow down Trump's dismantling of environmental standards...at least until courts stop mattering.

So what needs to be done to exploit this “opportunity” now?

Well, supporting some of those environment legal defense orgs seems like a place to start…looks like they’re going to have a lot to do soon.
