Drive, bike, and be safe wherever you’re headed today… 🌧️ …or stay in and cozy up to KWMR! #CAwx

Daniel Swain @weatherwest.bsky.social · 22h

An unusually cold and strong early season storm will affect most of California over next 2 days. As rain sweeps southward, expect mountain snow, locally gusty winds, and a progressively higher chance of thunderstorms from north to south from SF Bay Area to LA region. #CAwx

Widespread rain (and mountain snow) will fall with this early-season storm in California, as depicted in this precipitation accumulation map from the ECMWF model. Widespread totals of one half to an inch are likely, with some local spots seeing double or more that amount where heavy downpours align.

We got lucky today at Parachute Days…

Attention San Francisco Bay Area: Don’t let today’s sunshine fool you. Monday is going to be the stormiest day since last winter, with thunderstorms capable of generating rainfall rates up to a half inch per hour. Afternoon looks wettest. Clear your gutters and drains in the meantime! #CAwx

Some rock stars posing before heading into the #ParachuteDays x @kwmrradio.bsky.social fundraiser! And check out this groovy poster! Who made it? Just found out the amazing wooden stage was designed and built by local artist Gabe Korty. Does it need a home at my place after tonight? 👀

A menu of delicious tacos made from our local taco truck, but is now a taco tent. People stand in line at a register, waiting to order their delicious lunch.

A wide array of delicious pizza is being made to order. Good prices. Two people stand at the table. They appear to be children, but their faces are obscured.

It’s a weird time to post about community radio.

It’s not that we don’t see and feel what’s happening—it affects us all

Radio creates communal joy

Communal joy is power

KWMR is *your* community radio … tune in to joy with us

It's SO happening here (um, college radio, that is.) Gen Z has been walking through the doors of KWMR lately, reshaping our airwaves in brilliant ways. Check out Point Tayes Radio, Thursdays at 1pm!

Gen Z's College Radio Revival

Reports say Gen Z isn't discovering new artists. But college radio stations are overflowing with new DJs. As young listeners reject algorithms for analog—the industry should pay attention.
