El Niño is coming: What it means for California weather

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 04:21:21 GMT

El Niño conditions — a warming of ocean waters off South America that can alter weather across the globe, including California’s summer temperatures and the amount of rain it might receive next winter — are emerging in the Pacific Ocean for the first time in 4 years.The likelihood of the first El Niño forming since the winter of 2018-2019 are now 82% by July, and 94% by November, according to a new report out Thursday by NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.“The climate models are in strong agreement that there will be an El Niño,” said Michelle L’Heureux, a climate scientist at NOAA in Maryland who led the report. “At this point it’s looking likely.”Perhaps more significant for California’s rainfall outlook, there’s now a 46% chance of a strong El Niño by November, increasing to 54% by January, NOAA researchers concluded.El Niño occurs when ocean temperatures warm up near the equator off the coast of P...

By Tierney Sneed and Lauren Fox | CNN(CNN) — With the return of California Sen. Dianne Feinstein, Senate Democrats approved several judicial nominees out of the Judiciary Committee on Thursday that had been stalled in her absence.Feinstein told reporters Thursday that she decided to return to work at this time because, “I felt better.”However, the committee did not vote on former New Hampshire Attorney Michael Delaney, President Joe Biden’s embattled selection for the 1st US Circuit Court of Appeals.The committee approved six Biden judicial nominees on Thursday, three of them moving forward on a party-line vote, meaning Feinstein’s attendance was necessary for them to advance.

(KRON) -- Over the weekend, two dead gray whales washed ashore in the Bay Area, the Marine Mammal Center confirmed to KRON4. Both whales washed ashore at various locations in Point Reyes National Seashore. “To respond to two known gray whales on consecutive days, including one that our team has been actively monitoring for months in San Francisco Bay, is challenging and concerning to say the least,” said Dr. Pádraig Duignan, director of pathology at the Marine Mammal Center. “As sentinels for ocean health, gray whales face several human-caused threats including vessel strikes."  Oakland Unified School District claims teacher's union's demands cost $1 billion Officials with the Marine Mammal Center responded to a 39-foot adult male whale that washed ashore on North Beach on Tuesday. Officials said they had been closely monitoring this whale since it was first spotted in February in the San Francisco Bay. Its cause of death was most likely due to multiple boat strikes and malnu...

Senate votes to limit critical habitat designation for imperiled species and drop bat’s protections

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 04:21:21 GMT

The U.S. Senate voted narrowly Thursday to overturn two Biden administration policies intended to protect endangered species.Senators called for reinstating a rule adopted under former President Donald Trump but rescinded by the Biden administration that limited which lands and waters could be designated as places for imperiled animals and plants to receive federal protection.They also proposed dropping a 2022 federal designation of the northern long-eared bat as endangered.Earlier this month, the Senate voted to undo federal protections for the lesser prairie chicken, a rare grouse found in parts of the Midwest and Southwest.The actions, backed mostly by Republicans, represent rare congressional involvement in matters usually left to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service. The Endangered Species Act tasks those agencies with deciding which animals and plants to list as endangered or threatened and how to rebuild their populations.President Joe ...
