This is an excellent & balanced overview of recently increased pace of planetary warming. There's much we still don't know, & there are almost certainly multiple causes, but possibility (not confirmed, but real) that these trends portend higher climate sensitivity is disquieting.
In a new article over at Carbon Brief, I explore why the past three years – 2023, 2024, and 2025 – have been exceptionally warm. The main culprits turn out to be a combination of El Nino and internal variability, declining aerosols, and a strong solar cycle: www.carbonbrief.org/...

300 characters makes it hard to get all the caveats about projections and snow levels in. So, hopefully these images will tell the story. Wet but warm atmospheric river probability high starting Dec 19th, possibly hanging out off and on through the 27th. Stay tuned!

Good information
Weather pattern change to put CA in a precarious position post-Thanksgiving. Maps shows the "standard deviation" (spread) amongst weather models Dec. 1. There is more uncertainty about the atmospheric pattern over CA than anywhere else in the Northern Hemisphere! Could be cold/wet or less cold & dry

Multiple Rx burns coupled with humidity, cold air aloft, and fairly low cloud cover is trapping smoke close to the ground. Showers should clear out this afternoon into the evening. Saturday brings our next storm of mostly rain, 7k to 8k ft snow levels and 100+ mph winds to the ridge line.

Weather changes on the horizon. This weekend looks lovely then we cool off and have increased chances of rain starting Monday. Most models are leaning towards Monday afternoon into Tuesday being heaviest. One model is teasing snow a week out, but that's unlikely. Enjoy the weekend!

Feeling Fall in the air! 🍂
Thunderstorm chances start today and extend through Thursday with high temps around 60ish. Lows are dipping into the 30s. It's time to break out the layers. Of the next 5 to 7 days, Saturday looks to be the best outside day!!!!

Much lower probabilities of storms today but not completely out of the picture. Tomorrow starts a lovely looking Labor Day weekend.
Locals summer (IYKYK) starts off with temps around 80, lows in the 40s. Slight chances for thunderstorms return Wednesday into Thursday, but we'll see.

Why so hazy? Smoke
:( We're unfortunately in the path of smoke travel right now so hazy skies and "meh" air quality continues. (Ignore the outlier in Incline Village. It's been flagged)

Cool down starts tomorrow! It's currently hitting 90 or more in Truckee. Tomorrow we go back to mid 80s then low 80s by Friday.
Air quality remains moderate, though it was a bit thick earlier today. Expect the same tomorrow unless fire intensity increases for the fires to our WNW.
Stay hydrated!
