His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

But we’re also in a really serious, prolonged drought. I think the main thing that we’re going to see is a lot of rain. We’re going to get one round of rain coming in tonight into tomorrow, another one Thursday into Friday, and then over the weekend starting Sunday and into Monday. [We could see] potentially really heavy rains that could fall across most of the northern half of the state. This is an opportunity — perhaps — to see the end of the fire season that has also been pretty rough on the state all year.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>How much rain can the Bay Area expect?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>It depends on where you are. Around the Bay Area, the rainiest locations are in northern Sonoma County and in the Santa Cruz Mountains, and those places could see — by the end of this whole series of storms — more than 6 inches of rain. [In] San Francisco, Oakland, Richmond, we could see maybe 3 to 4 inches of rain, which is a lot for October. We’ll see much less in the South Bay and further south.\u003cbr>\n[aside postID=science_1935067 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/39/2012/11/atmoriver.png']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When you expand out and start to look beyond, there’s going to be really heavy rain in the Feather River watershed — where Lake Oroville is, around Shasta Lake and at the head of the Sacramento River. And in the northern and central Sierra, very heavy precipitation [is expected] in all of those places over the next week.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What could this amount of rain mean for this year’s fire season?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The hope is that if this forecast pans out for the next week, there will be enough rain over the northern half of the state that it’s really going to end the fire threat for the season — meaning that the vegetation that might burn in a fire is basically thoroughly soaked enough that it’s just not going to be something that’s going to catch fire if there was a thunderstorm (which is less likely at this time of year) or in the event of a big windstorm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unfortunately, for the southern half of the state, we’re not going to get enough rain over this period to really end the fire threat, from, say, Monterey County south to Los Angeles and San Diego counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Are there any concerns about flooding or mudslides?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>There are concerns, and those concerns are directly related to the fires that we’ve seen over the last couple of years. We had immense fires around the Bay Area and throughout Northern California last year and again this year. And all of those areas are places that are prone to debris flows and landslides because of the heavy amounts of rain that could be falling — especially the storm that’s coming in Sunday and Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://water.ca.gov/What-We-Do/Flood-Preparedness/Flood-Preparedness-Week\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cstrong>How to prepare for floods in California \u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch3>Will this series of storms help us get out of this drought?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>It’s not really going to end the drought. I like the term that the National Weather Service office for the Bay Area uses: They speak of “beneficial rains,” and that’s really a short-term thing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is really a series of storms that is going to bring us some short-term benefits. Some of our reservoirs may bounce back from where they’ve been, and we’re going to get enough rain across our terribly brown, dry-looking landscape that will green up later in the fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the drought is really a long-term issue. The long-term climate forecast for this coming season is that we’re in a La Niña pattern, which generally means less rain for Northern California than a normal year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bottom line [is that] what we really need to get is three really wet months in December, January and February to really say that we were out of the drought.

But we’re also in a really serious, prolonged drought. I think the main thing that we’re going to see is a lot of rain. We’re going to get one round of rain coming in tonight into tomorrow, another one Thursday into Friday, and then over the weekend starting Sunday and into Monday. [We could see] potentially really heavy rains that could fall across most of the northern half of the state. This is an opportunity — perhaps — to see the end of the fire season that has also been pretty rough on the state all year.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>How much rain can the Bay Area expect?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>It depends on where you are. Around the Bay Area, the rainiest locations are in northern Sonoma County and in the Santa Cruz Mountains, and those places could see — by the end of this whole series of storms — more than 6 inches of rain. [In] San Francisco, Oakland, Richmond, we could see maybe 3 to 4 inches of rain, which is a lot for October. We’ll see much less in the South Bay and further south.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And in the northern and central Sierra, very heavy precipitation [is expected] in all of those places over the next week.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What could this amount of rain mean for this year’s fire season?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The hope is that if this forecast pans out for the next week, there will be enough rain over the northern half of the state that it’s really going to end the fire threat for the season — meaning that the vegetation that might burn in a fire is basically thoroughly soaked enough that it’s just not going to be something that’s going to catch fire if there was a thunderstorm (which is less likely at this time of year) or in the event of a big windstorm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unfortunately, for the southern half of the state, we’re not going to get enough rain over this period to really end the fire threat, from, say, Monterey County south to Los Angeles and San Diego counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Are there any concerns about flooding or mudslides?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>There are concerns, and those concerns are directly related to the fires that we’ve seen over the last couple of years. We had immense fires around the Bay Area and throughout Northern California last year and again this year. And all of those areas are places that are prone to debris flows and landslides because of the heavy amounts of rain that could be falling — especially the storm that’s coming in Sunday and Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://water.ca.gov/What-We-Do/Flood-Preparedness/Flood-Preparedness-Week\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cstrong>How to prepare for floods in California \u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch3>Will this series of storms help us get out of this drought?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>It’s not really going to end the drought. I like the term that the National Weather Service office for the Bay Area uses: They speak of “beneficial rains,” and that’s really a short-term thing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is really a series of storms that is going to bring us some short-term benefits. Some of our reservoirs may bounce back from where they’ve been, and we’re going to get enough rain across our terribly brown, dry-looking landscape that will green up later in the fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the drought is really a long-term issue. The long-term climate forecast for this coming season is that we’re in a La Niña pattern, which generally means less rain for Northern California than a normal year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bottom line [is that] what we really need to get is three really wet months in December, January and February to really say that we were out of the drought. But even then, you’re dealing with long-term effects.

But we did have such a dry fall, so it’s beneficial rain, and for the most part here, we’ll start to fill the reservoirs up,” Walbrun said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inclement weather throughout the country has caused delays and cancellations for thousands of travelers passing through San Francisco International Airport.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SFO spokesman Francis Tsang said that as of noon, the hub had counted 84 flight cancellations and 326 delays on Monday alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Coming off of this busy holiday weekend, and everybody’s trying to get home from wherever they’ve celebrated their holidays, so a lot has been affected,” Tsang said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland International Airport canceled three flights, while another 32 have been delayed. At San Jose International Airport, four flights were canceled and 50 are delayed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s Sara Hossaini contributed to this post.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

About 14,000 residents were forced from their homes in 2017, many without receiving warnings that flooding was imminent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We committed with Valley Water and the county to not have an incident like (Coyote Creek) to take place again,” Neaves said. “This demonstration is proof of that. … We’ve been taking this incident very seriously.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Marin County, California Highway Patrol reported a levee breach near Highway 37 in Novato.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/MarinSheriff/status/1096124038659768321\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokesman for the Marin County Department of Public Works said no homes are threatened, but it will be at least a couple of days before the water recedes enough for officials to begin examining the damage and making repairs. As the evening commute neared, CHP officers and Caltrans engineers were monitoring the rising water along the highway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Farther north, the Napa and Russian rivers both continued to rise and are now expected to crest at 4 feet above flood stage overnight. As much as a foot of rain has fallen in the Russian River’s watershed since Tuesday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David Rabbitt, chairman of the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors, says that’s better than expected. “There will be a little cleanup to do in some parking lots and some properties that are closer to the river, but we should do fine,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Guerneville School District announced, however, it would be closed on Friday due to flooding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Napa River is expected to top out just above flood stage at both St. Helena and the north side of the city of Napa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Sausalito, a duplex slid off its foundation and into another residence on Crescent Avenue, possibly because of a mudslide. One resident inside was rescued and hospitalized for minor injuries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/nbcbayarea/status/1096024867311403009\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Department of Public Works spokeswoman Rachel Gordon said approximately 65 trees and large limbs had fallen in the city during the storm but caused no injuries. Only a handful of vehicles were damaged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E reported 17,732 Bay Area customers were still without power as of about 3 p.m. — down from a high of over 31,000 around noon Thursday, as high winds raked much of the region.

The storm is expected to spread a daylong steady rain over the region on Wednesday, broken up by intermittent heavy downpours. For a finale, the weather system is forecast to unload a second wallop of atmospheric river-fed rain early Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those forecast conditions, on top of a landscape saturated by recent storms, have led the National Weather Service to issue a flash flood watch for the entire Bay Area from late Tuesday through late Thursday morning.

Much of the North Bay is expected to receive 3 to 5 inches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Totals at lower elevations are projected to range from 2-plus inches in San Francisco and Oakland to between 1.5 inches and 2 inches along the bay shore and East Bay valleys.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That heavy rainfall is expected to cause a rapid rise on the Russian River, which is forecast to crest about 2 feet above flood stage late Thursday. Flows are expected to spike on the Napa River, too, with the river cresting just below flood stage at St. Helena and downtown Napa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of the rest of California is in for a thrashing, too. Of special concern are conditions in the Sierra Nevada and its western foothills, which have received extremely heavy snowfall in the past two weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The incoming storm is expected to cause snow levels to rise from 2,000 to 3,000 feet Tuesday night to 6,000 to 8,000 feet during the day Wednesday. That means that for some part of the storm, rain will fall on the snowpack. That, in turn, could enhance the runoff down streams and rivers toward reservoirs and valleys below.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the reservoirs are near or at the level at which dam managers may be required to begin releasing water to maintain enough room to accommodate floodwaters and runoff later in the season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Serious flooding is not forecast — yet — though the river forecast center outlook shows sharp rises on the Sacramento River with water cresting above flood stage at several locations. Water is expected to begin flowing through the Yolo Bypass, the huge flood bypass channel that runs north and west of Sacramento, sometime on Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Heavy rain is forecast throughout Southern California, too, with amounts ranging from 2 to 5 inches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11725603\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11725603\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/WeatherStory2-1-800x600.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/WeatherStory2-1-800x600.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/WeatherStory2-1-160x120.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/WeatherStory2-1.png 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A high wind warning has been issued from 10 p.m. Tuesday until 10 a.m. Thursday for the coast and hills above 1,000 feet. \u003ccite>(National Weather Service)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Forecasters were still adjusting forecasts as the storm began to brush the coast on Tuesday afternoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NWS Bay Area’s Garcia said that’s because weather models have a hard time predicting exactly where the most potent part of an atmospheric river will reach land.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That kind of granular detail doesn’t really make itself known until all the factors really start to come together,” Garcia said. “And the final detail, the core of the highest amount of precipitable water, is very narrow.

We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum.
