Summer in San Francisco! The fog was so thick this morning that it was "raining" in many parts of the city. The downtown gauge has measured 0.02 inch of rain as of 8:30 a.m. If you have thoughts and experiences to share around San Francisco's cool summer, send me an email at [email protected].

The chance for heavy rain and flooding in Texas Hill Country was not over on Sunday afternoon, as the National Weather Service issued more flash flood warnings and urged people along portions of the Guadalupe River to seek higher ground.

#Phoenix rarely sees rain in the first week of June. It could be different this year.

The #Innfire in #California had grown to over 700 acres to the northwest of Mono Lake, near the Nevada border. It’s one of several brush fires that have erupted in California in the last week as the weather has gotten warmer.

For only the third time ever, Weather Service forecasters in Chicago issued a dust storm warning for portions of northwest Indiana and north-central Illinois. “This is not common at all,” said Zachary Wack, a meteorologist. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/16/w...

Anyone experiencing the dust storm in #Chicago today? Please send me an email at [email protected].

The office in Jackson, Ky., is one of several left without an overnight forecaster after hundreds of jobs were recently cut from the National Weather Service. Read the story that my colleague @sonofjud.bsky.social and I wrote today.

The daffodils have peaked in Central Park. The Yankees and Mets are weeks into their seasons. Spring is in full swing across New York City, but the usual warm, sunny weather that leads people to mob the streets and outdoor cafes at this time of year has yet to arrive. The rain just keeps coming.

What's going on at the National Weather Service that's facing significant cuts? My colleague @sonofjud.bsky.social tells the story.

Larger than baseball-size hail is possible, not to mention the tornado threat today. @amyjeangraff.bsky.social has a preview of today's extreme weather.

It’s only the first week of the month and Las Vegas has already recorded its wettest May on record after a storm system delivered rain to the city for four days straight.

To many, atmospheric rivers are a West Coast phenomenon. But they’re also responsible for the devastating flooding that hit the Central United States in early April.

#AtmosphericRivers don't just impact the West Coast—these powerful weather phenomena are bringing floods to the central U.S. @cw3escripps.bsky.social director Marty Ralph spoke with @amyjeangraff.bsky.social of @nytimes.com on the need for expanding AR research across the country.

It’s OK, Chicago, your air was actually fine on Wednesday (even though some popular weather apps had reported a dangerously hazardous Air Quality Index).

A tornado outbreak and life-threatening flooding are likely across a portion of the U.S. Our @nytimes.com.com weather team is taking questions in the comments. Myself, @sonofjud.bsky.social and @nazaneentv.bsky.social will answer them. Click the link below to leave your question. nyti.ms/44bHD2P

@amyjeangraff.bsky.social explains in the New York Times how California's atmospheric river storms, which occur at increasing frequency in a warmer climate, are inherently harder to predict than milder storms

The Sierra Nevada has had a lot of warm storms this winter. Finally, a cold one piled up multiple feet of snow.

“These storms are back-to-back-to-back-to-back,” said Marty Ralph with @cw3escripps.bsky.social. “This is a situation that can saturate the landscape, and then if one of the later atmospheric rivers turns out to be big and stalls, that’s where you can end up with a flood risk — substantial.”

Strong winds have created a fast-moving and hot blaze in Malibu, forecasters said, and the conditions are expected to continue into the evening. The #FranklinFire was 2,200 acres as of Tuesday morning.

Santa Ana winds are ramping up in Southern California yet again and heightening wildfire risk. In parts of Ventura and Los Angeles Counties, the NWS is warning of a "Particularly Dangerous Situation." www.nytimes.com/2024/12/09/w...
