Many of you know the AR (atmos River) scale, before that we estab’d R-Cat scale for reporting historically wettest 3-day periods at stations. An R-cat 4 is HUGE, over 500 mm (20 inch) in 3days. The past 3 days have brought RCat lvl precip to 121 stations in Calif!!!! …

@kprather88 Things moving forward at your end?

[Mike Dettinger @mdettinger]

@CaWaterBoards Dear CWB: There is a remarkable migration going on over to blue sky social right now (see attached). If your social-media mandate is to communicate with the public, you really need to establish a presence over there. If only to avoid having a faux CWB account established.

[NWS Reno @NWSReno]

⚠ Lake enhanced showers are beginning to blossom roughly along the CA/NV state line SE of Tahoe. Heavier snow showers may lead to rapidly changing road conditions through this afternoon.

Up-to-date road conditions:

Some serious (~AR 5 levels!) atmospheric-river storminess forecast for Oregon next week. (Forecasts this far ahead often moderate as their arrivals approach but even an AR4 cd be dangerous.) See more ARscale & AR forecast products @CW3E_Scripps

And its thus tat time of yr when I need to remind folks of this tool which, basin by basin, shows the ensemble forecasts of precip, rain vs snow, freezing levels that are so relevant to evolving flood risks this time of year.

From over on Bsky

[Mike Dettinger @mdettinger]

@bitterwaterblue Soc media can be about info transfer & not only THE fight. Im here now 1/2 time cuz its where agencies are & that is useful (remember useful social media?). Bsky doesnt fdback enuf & is too internat until past wk. So Im torn, but it’s NOT surrender, Pat…it’s prep for new dirxns.
