Models have been showing this major rain event for many days now. Rainfall amounts >2" are likely over the higher terrain. It will be interesting to see the measured maximum rainfall amounts.

BE SAFE!

Really great article by a great former colleague @tdiliberto.bsky.social on what a weak La Niña could mean as far as snowfall goes this year, and the long term winter snowfall trend across the U.S.: www.climate.gov/news-feature...

The Weather Prediction Center warns of a moderate risk of excessive rainfall leading to rapid onset flooding in Arizona tomorrow (Friday, Oct. 10). If this level is maintained, it would be the first time in more than two years the agency has issued a moderate ERO in AZ. #AZwx

morning read from @gabbyherzig.bsky.social that I deeply enjoyed — and the comments are generally lovely, to boot. www.nytimes.com/athletic/670...

I made a 12 during the biggest golf tournament of my life. Here’s what I learned

The Athletic's Gabby Herzig recently competed in the U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur. She gained a deeper appreciation for the sport she covers.

Timeline cleanse: the “whale pump”

c0nc0rdance @c0nc0rdance.bsky.social · 13h

The global whaling industry experienced a boom c. 1840-1950 as technology allowed whalers to hunt the Southern Ocean around Antarctica.

Under standard models, we would have expected krill populations to have *exploded*.

Instead, they DROPPED exponentially.

Let's talk about the KRILL PARADOX.

Change in distribution and abundance of southern right whales. (A) Shows historical and contemporary wintering distributions (Figure 1 from Carroll et al., 2018), and (B) shows decline in abundance and subsequent recovery (solid line is the mean, dashed line shows upper and lower 95% CI). Modified Figure 1 from Jackson et al. (2008). Contemporary sightings are divided into regions where large aggregations are seen during winter: Argentina (ARG), Brazil (BZL), South Africa (SAF), southwest Australia (SWA), south central Australia (SCA), and New Zealand sub-Antarctic (NZSA) and regions where sightings are typically of small numbers of individuals per year. The large aggregations are IWC management units and correspond to historical whaling grounds, although another 5 whaling grounds show little sign of recovery. Summer feeding areas are poorly described and so not shown.

When will the climate change coastal property bubble pop? A significant acceleration in coastal flooding from a lunar orbit shift (mid-2030s) will significantly stress the market. My 2024 post: "When will climate change turn life in the U.S. upside down?"
