El Niño in the newz. Again.

[JackFlorey]

Just barely enough to wet the ground yesterday. Nothing measurable.
I see Burning Man got rained on. Usually the problem there is the dust. When that stuff gets wet, it's a real mess.

Yep. But it only really kept us there an extra 2 days. The media, as usual, blew it out of proportion.

From SF Gate:

"A moisture-rich atmospheric river that's being called the first storm of the season is forecast to deliver rain to Northern California as early as Sunday night with the chance for showers continuing into Monday and Tuesday. Eureka and areas to the north are expected to see the heaviest rainfall with totals of 1 to 3 inches, while the Bay Area is likely to receive only light showers, according to the National Weather Service."

It looks like it should be hitting where all those fires that are sending me smoke are. The air quality has been pretty bad here lately.

 

[amberwolf]

Doesn't look like any of that will be heading my way.

 

[nicobie]

The smoke has even gotten down to us in Santa Barbara. But it's not too bad yet.

Had just a trace yesterday. Barely enough to wet the ground. At least they got enough up north to put out the big fires (mostly) and the air quality is much better.
