Don't let feds make California wildfires more dangerous

I worked as a wildland firefighter for the United States Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management for seven years. I fought fires as part of hotshot helicopter crews. I remember rushing to fires in places like Apple Valley, Big Bear, Joshua Tree (community and National Park), Palm Springs, and throughout the western United States. Because of these experiences, I have firsthand knowledge of how decisions made by the Forest Service and other federal agencies impact our fire safety. Case in point, the Forest Service recently announced a plan to eliminate the Roadless Area Conservation Rule (also called the “Roadless Rule”). Established in 2001, the Roadless Rule protects 58 million acres of forests nationwide, including 4 million acres in California. Eliminating the Roadless Rule and opening these places to more development will increase our risk of wildfires, putting California communities and firefighters at risk. Eliminating the Roadless Rule is also incredibly unpopular with the American public. Over a million comments were submitted in response to the Rule’s elimination, and an analysis of a large chunk of public comments found that 99% of them were in opposition . When I was fighting fires in Roadless Areas, I found that these

It's becoming a November to remember as far as our weather goes, and Saturday may have been the nicest day of the month so far.

Giant California Swell Hurls Coast Guard Rescue Boats Into The Air (Video)

For most people, getting caught in the impact zone, taking waves on the head, is something you try to avoid. That is, unless you work for the U.S. Coast Guard. Drone footage shared by Northern California aerial surf cinematographer DroneGuy650 shows Coast Guard rescue boats taking on towering surf in the San Francisco Bay Area. Rather than retreating to calmer water, the crews steer into the waves. The bows climb steep walls of water, briefly launching into the air before slamming back down.

The first atmospheric river of Super El Niño is coming. Here's when it could hit

The weather is dry for the moment, but signs across the atmosphere are painting a clear picture for when the first atmospheric river will bring rain to California. As El Niño begins to lock into the atmosphere, it will continue to set up patterns like the one we will see next week, with lower pressure just offshore and a lingering dome of high pressure across the central United States. Patterns like this that hold in place for a week or more are exceptional at squeezing out oceanic moisture in the form of atmospheric rivers – strings of the jet stream that become saturated with relentless rain. And the first of the season for Central California is taking shape for next week. Here we go. Mid-November is looking wet for California. With a Gulf of Alaska low set to linger for the next week, the pattern is primed for an atmospheric river the moment our stable airmass moves east. I am watching for one or two rain events between Nov 11-16. #cawx https://t.co/3tHirsxawj — Sean Macaday (@MacadayWX) November 4, 2026 Several atmospheric rivers likely in mid-November The next seven or so days look quite dry. A stable atmosphere overhead will make

Atmospheric River Could Bring Heavy Rain, Flooding, and High Winds to Seattle, Olympia, Portland, and Eureka During the Second Week of November

The Climate Prediction Center shows a high risk of heavy precipitation from northern California through the Pacific Northwest from November 10 to 12. Several inches of rain could fall in some areas, which could lead to flooding at lower elevations. A moderate risk of high winds is also expected along the coast from November 10 to 14.
