Thunderstorms to sweep through Modesto area. How long will wind and rain last?

Register to attend a free virtual forum on Tuesday, Nov. 17 at 6 p.m., on how Central Valley residents can prepare for the coming El Niño season, featuring Sean Macaday, a meteorologist with the Sacramento Bee, and Stanislaus County Deputy Director of Emergency Services Ruben Wegner. As the Central Valley braces for a potentially record-breaking El Niño season , multiple rounds of rain-producing atmospheric rivers are expected to move through the Modesto region. The storm systems could bring periods of heavy rain and thunderstorms, along with cooler temperatures and gusty winds. “A pair of storm systems will bring widespread rain, moderate to heavy rain and snow in the mountains, and gusty to strong southerly winds today into Monday,” the National Weather Service said in a news release Friday. Here’s what Modesto-area residents can expect: When will the season’s first atmospheric river hit Modesto? While there was a brief atmospheric river across Southern California and the southwestern U.S. around Halloween, this will be the first to truly soak the entire state , The Sacramento Bee reported. As cool air from Alaska continues to sink down along the coast, it rapidly saturates the subtropical jet stream with abundant moisture, in part thanks

'Absolutely Nothing We Can Do to Hold Back the Pacific Ocean'

(This content was created with the help of AI.) California's stretch of calm, dry weather is about to flip, and the ocean is set to get dramatic in the process. A series of storms tied to a strengthening El Nino will sweep the state over the next week, bringing widespread rain, Sierra Nevada snow, and coastal waves that could tower 40 feet or more near San Francisco and hit 60 feet at the Mavericks surf spot, per the New York Times. Most rain will land in Northern California, where the forecast calls for up to 6 inches; the Bay Area could see about 2 inches, while Los Angeles looks to see less...

Research modeling a major earthquake in SoCal is being updated. Why?

Eighteen years ago on Nov. 13, Southern Californians imagined that a magnitude-7.8 earthquake struck. It was for a drill that’s since evolved into an annual observance to practice preparedness for the ever-looming Big One . The drill was focused on drop, cover and hold on, a mantra that should — ideally — feel ingrained in Californians in the event of a tremor. The decision to focus it on this guidance, as renowned seismologist Lucy Jones told the USA TODAY Network, was in response to an earthquake in Southern California that year. She was in a room full of emergency managers at the time of the tremor. They all went underneath a table. But news reports captured people running out of buildings, the very response officials say not to do. It’s just one factor that informed the major earthquake drill held that November, a drill that came out of the ShakeOut Scenario. It was a project led by Jones that modeled a magnitude-7.8 earthquake on the southern San Andreas Fault, predicted to cause about 1,800 deaths and $213 billion in economic losses. It had been unveiled earlier that year, right around the time of a devastating earthquake in China, Jones said.
