As San Jose mobilizes its resources to prepare for possible El Niño-driven winter flooding, a recent report is highlighting the risks facing low-lying communities along the city’s northern shoreline. The report — from UC Davis’ Road Ecology Center — included Alviso in a list of California communities at high risk of coastal flooding over the...

A significant storm moves through the region Friday through early Saturday. Heavy snow is likely in the Sierra and travel is not advised. There are some breaks though, if you do make it to California. The valley will see wind and rain. It will be a cold weekend as well.
California’s Sierra Nevada will see heavy snow and powerful winds on Friday, making travel to Tahoe and across the crest dangerous — with another round of snow arriving late Sunday.
The National Weather Service forecasts a much stronger Pacific storm for Friday, Nov. 13, with heavy rain, mountain snow and strong winds from northern California to the Northwest.
The last time the ocean off Northern California looked like this, a marine heat wave and an El Niño wiped out most of the North Coast’s bull kelp, and the state’s own staff report says this year closely matches that stretch from 2014 to 2016. The California...
COLORADO — A Pacific storm is moving onshore along the West Coast, bringing rain and mountain snow to California and Oregon. The system is expected to push inland toward the Four Corners, with the majority of its impacts focused across the southern half of Colorado. Northern Colorado, including Denver and Fort Collins, is expected to stay on the drier edge of the storm.
Higher tides and bigger waves along the California coast are a hallmark of El Niño. If the two align this winter, it “could cost the state billions,” according to one expert.
Thanks to El Niño, scientists are marveling at the scope and scale of a weather event unfolding along California’s coast that’s never occurred before – at least not in recorded history. A marine heat wave is making the Pacific Ocean feel more like Florida, with astounding temperatures double digits above normal. “We have never seen […]
Action News Now's Bella Barbosa reports from the Action News Now newsroom in Chico on what comes next for wildfire restitution as a group of utility-caused wildfire survivors filed a petition with the California Public Utilities Commission following the signing of AB 2700 into law.
Graphic from US National Weather Service in Eureka. A strong cold front is expected to bring gusty winds and moderate to heavy rainfall to northwestern California tomorrow, Friday morning, Nov. 13, followed by a powerful swell that could send breaking waves as high as 40 feet onto parts of the North Coast, according to the National Weather Service in Eureka. A total rainfall of 1 to 3 inches is expected.

El Niño and a marine heat wave are bringing warmer ocean water temperatures off the coast of California and with them, in recent weeks, an oddity of sea creatures. From endangered turtles nesting on beaches to a whale shark swimming off San Diego, the coast of Southern California is seeing a wave of marine species not typically found in the region. And while they may be fascinating sights to behold, the warmer waters do more than just pave the way for unusual sea creature sightings; such conditions can also pose risks to the local ecosystem. "It's important to remember that a lot of our local species that we normally find in San Diego aren't quite adapted for these higher temperatures, so we're very closely monitoring those species and trying to figure out how the warm water will affect them and how the ecosystem may change over time as our oceans continue to warm," Zach Merson, a PhD student at the Simmons Lab at UC San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography , said in a Facebook video. What is El Niño? El Niño , a naturally occurring phenomenon that warms ocean surface temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean,
Surface ocean temperatures along California, including the northern and central coasts, are rising to "record-shattering" numbers partly due to this winter's "extreme El Niño," a climate scientist said in a webinar Thursday. Massive waves and rainy weather was also expected to begin Friday in the Bay Area after a...
California keeps building over crucial flood protection.
A powerful storm will sweep across the Pacific Northwest and Northern California beginning Friday and last through the weekend, due to the relentless atmospheric river pattern. Parts of the northern Sierra could see up to 4 feet of snow by Monday, while Washington and Oregon will see another round of intense rain and wind.
King tides are expected during Thanksgiving week and around Christmas. We've got resources to help you prepare at LBPost.com/elnino. The post California’s ‘record-shattering’ marine heat wave means threat of coastal flooding will stick around appeared first on Long Beach Post .
High tides hit NorCal delta amid storm
A looming storm is likely to bring the heaviest rain in more than six months to San Francisco, with another system to follow.
Heavy rains impacted drivers across the Bay Area on Friday. In Marin County especially, roads were flooded, which caused multiple car crashes and street closures. Some residents put up sandbags around homes and businesses, bracing for the storms yet to come.
Heavy rain caused widespread problems across the Bay Area Friday, flooding roads, damaging vehicles and even bringing part of a San Francisco home's ceiling crashing down.
