In case you missed it yesterday: this "double-header" session-- focused on both recent federal developments regarding #weather, #climate, and #disaster response--plus the (alarming) fire season outlook for the Western U.S. and Canada--was recorded as is available at the link below. #CAfire #CAwater

Action Alert 🚨 Newsom is attempting to fast track the destructive, costly & wasteful Delta Conveyance Project—aka the #DeltaTunnel—through 2 trailer bills.

We need you to speak out! Please call or email your CA reps to urge them to oppose these trailer bills.

You can use our script to voice your opposition:

I'll have a live virtual office hour on Wed, May 28, at 3pm PT to discuss the upcoming record heat in NorCal and "whiplash" pattern to follow, including some possibly SoCal thunderstorms and much cooler/windy weather next week. #CAwx #CAfire #CAwater youtu.be/PGl3czyNF9s

A period of notable--and possibly record-breaking--heat is now expected across much of northern CA, southern OR, and portions of northern Fri-Sat. Temps could reach ~110F in portions of Central Valley, and some all-time May records may be at risk. #CAwx #CAfire #CAwater

On water, Newsom is out of time and making his riskiest move as governor

"The only real alternative to modernizing the State Water Project is to phase it out over decades, along with the federal Central Valley Project, and stop moving water from where it falls to where civilizations and farming exist.

Good luck with that."

I'll have a YouTube live virtual office hour on Fri, May 23, @ 1pm PT. The topic: a potentially significant late May/early June heatwave in CA, and also summer to come for CA, the U.S. West, & across broader Northern Hemisphere. #CAwx #CAwater #CAfre www.youtube.com/live...

"What the governor calls barriers, we call laws," Baykeeper science director @jarosenfield says of Newsom's statement about removing "barriers" to his disastrous (& unpopular) Delta Tunnel plan

I just created a quick map depicting which portions of the United States are now (as of today) or will imminently be (by early June) without 24/7 local National Weather Service coverage (per Washington Post reporting). #CAwx #CAfire #CAwater #ORwx #AKwx #WYwx #KSwx

Welp. 2 California NWS offices--covering entire Sacramento/ San Joaquin Valley region & adjacent foothills/mountains--are no longer operating 24/7 due to extreme understaffing & expanding cuts to NOAA/NWS. This is a very big problem! #CAwx #CAfire #CAwater www.washingtonpost.c...

As our science director @jarosenfield points out, expanding Shasta Dam would capture water flows that are currently the only lifeline endangered #salmon have https://calmatters.org/environment/water/2025/05/shasta-dam-california-water-farmers-trump/ #cawater #californiawater #EndangeredSpecies #fish #fishing #shastadam

House Republicans have officially voted against science, clean water, California fishing jobs, and endangered species 😡 https://www.latimes.com/environment/story/2025-05-01/california-longfin-smelt-endangered-species-repeal #fishing #fish #EndangeredSpecies #EndangeredSpeciesAct #cawater #water #california

My thoughts on critical importance of NOAA National Weather Service & other partners in CA weather, water, & wildfire worlds--& why we simply cannot afford to lose even a portion of lifesaving & economy-boosting services it provides. #CAwater #CAfire #CAwx www.ppic.org/blog/ho...
