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 it remained to be seen how much of a dent it made in the state’s drought.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The weather system weakened as it moved south but still dropped enough rain Monday evening to cause mudslides that closed roads in the San Bernardino Mountains northeast of Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Drenching rains caused widespread flooding and rockslides. Strong winds knocked down trees and toppled two big trucks on the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge in the San Francisco Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The wind and rain resulted in PG&E’s greatest storm-related service impact in October since 2009, according to the utility: PG&E reported that 646,000 customers lost power — about 12% of the utility’s 5.5 million customers — though most had it back by Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of around 6 a.m. Tuesday, 12,636 customers in the Bay Area remained without power, with nearly 4,800 reported on the Peninsula and nearly 3,500 in the South Bay, PG&E spokesperson John King said. More than 19,000 customers systemwide still were without power.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The atmospheric river storm, a long and wide plume of moisture pulled in from the Pacific, came ashore in Northern California over the weekend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By early Tuesday, light rain and snow was still falling in northern parts of California, and the lone remaining flood warning was in Sonoma County north of San Francisco, where stream levels were slow to fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the problems, the rain and mountain snow were welcome in Northern California, which is so dry that nearly all of it is classified as either experiencing \u003ca href=\"https://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/About/AbouttheData/DroughtClassification.aspx\">“extreme” or “exceptional” drought\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The wet weather also greatly reduces the chances of additional wildfires in a region that has borne the brunt of another devastating year of blazes in the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Weather Service called preliminary rainfall totals from the storm “staggering.” Four inches fell Sunday in downtown San Francisco, making it the fourth-wettest day on record for the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s been a memorable past 24 hours for the Bay Area as the long-talked-about atmospheric river rolled through the region,” the local weather office said Monday. “We literally have gone from fire/drought conditions to flooding in one storm cycle.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Northeast of San Francisco, 5.44 inches fell on downtown Sacramento, shattering the one-day record for rainfall that had stood since 1880.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Along the state’s central coast, nearly 5.4 inches of rain was recorded at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo County. In Southern California, 1.1 inches fell in Beverly Hills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11893615,news_11893553,news_11893018\" label=\"Related Coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Interstate 80, the major highway through the Sierra Nevada to Reno, Nevada, was closed by heavy snow early Monday. In California’s Colusa and Yolo counties, state highways 16 and 20 were shut for several miles because of mudslides, the state Department of Transportation said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The same storm system also slammed Oregon and Washington state, causing power outages affecting tens of thousands of people. Two people were killed when a tree fell on a vehicle in the greater Seattle area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Water levels at Lake Oroville, a major Northern California reservoir, rose 20 feet over the past week, according to the state’s Department of Water Resources. Most of the increase came between Saturday and Monday during the height of the storm, KHSL-TV reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Justin Mankin, a geography assistant professor at Dartmouth College and co-lead of the Drought Task Force at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, said the cycle of going from years-long drought to record-breaking downpours is expected to continue because of climate change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While this rain is welcome, it comes with these hazards, and it won’t necessarily end the drought,” Mankin said. “California still needs more precipitation, and it really needs it in high elevations and spread out over a longer time so it’s not hazardous.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Christy Brigham, chief of resource management and science at Sequoia and Kings Canyon national parks, said the rain was a big relief after the Caldor Fire torched an unknown number of the giant trees in the park, along with thousands of pines and cedars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This amount of rainfall is what we call a season-ending event,” Brigham said. “It should end fire season, and it should end our need — to a large degree — to fight this fire.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Caldor Fire has burned for more than two months and in early September prompted the unprecedented evacuation of the entire city of South Lake Tahoe, a major tourism destination. Firefighters now consider the fire fully contained. That status also now applies to the Dixie Fire, the largest single-origin wildfire in state history at just under 1,563 square miles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the weekend, the California Highway Patrol closed a stretch of State Route 70 in Butte and Plumas counties because of multiple landslides within the massive Dixie Fire burn scar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal Fire, the state firefighting agency, did not declare the wildfire season over or cut staffing to lower winter levels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11893624\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11893624 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/10/GettyImages-1348791095-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Two people wearing helmets and rain gear use a hand-operated machine attached to the back of a truck (?) while a kid plays among fallen trees.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Workers cut up a tree that fell across a road on Oct. 24, 2021, in Ross, California. \u003ccite>(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“We’d like to see some more rain coming our way before we look at reducing staffing,” spokesperson Isaac Sanchez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The long-term weather forecast for California suggests drier-than-normal conditions, Mankin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To end different aspects of the drought, you are going to need a situation where parts of California get precipitation over the next three months that’s about 200% of normal,” he said, adding that “despite this really, really insane rainfall, the winter is probably going to be drier than average.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Associated Press writers Janie Har in San Francisco, Christopher Weber and John Antczak in Los Angeles and Brian Melley in Three Rivers contributed to this report.

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 even then, you’re dealing with long-term effects. [The drought] really won’t be over until we have several seasons of normal rainfall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11893022\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 600px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11893022\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/10/G17_sector_psw_GEOCOLOR_24fr_20211020-1202.gif\" alt=\"Animated gif of a satellite image of the Bay Area region with clouds and rainstorms moving through the frame.\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Satellite image captured the morning of October 20, 2021. \u003ccite>(NWS Bay Area)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca id=\"resources\">\u003c/a>Resources for tracking Bay Area weather\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>There are plenty of online resources and apps available for tracking weather in real time, especially ahead of rain, storms and extreme conditions.

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. [The drought] really won’t be over until we have several seasons of normal rainfall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11893022\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 600px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11893022\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/10/G17_sector_psw_GEOCOLOR_24fr_20211020-1202.gif\" alt=\"Animated gif of a satellite image of the Bay Area region with clouds and rainstorms moving through the frame.\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Satellite image captured the morning of October 20, 2021. \u003ccite>(NWS Bay Area)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca id=\"resources\">\u003c/a>Resources for tracking Bay Area weather\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>There are plenty of online resources and apps available for tracking weather in real time, especially ahead of rain, storms and extreme conditions.

Gasquet, on the Smith River east of Crescent City, got 1.24 inches. Crescent City recorded .73, and Eureka .68. Some parts of the Sierra Nevada foothills near the I-80 corridor got a genuine dumping, with Auburn reporting .95 of an inch, Grass Valley .87 and Blue Canyon .81.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The farthest south precipitation was recorded was Big Sur, which received .04 of an inch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aside from the novelty of seeing rain — San Francisco's last measurable precipitation was May 26, some 113 days ago — what's the impact of the mini-storm, and what's the outlook for more wet weather?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The outlook:\u003c/strong> There is a chance for more rain in Northern California late Tuesday into Wednesday, but the National Weather Service says the highest probability for showers is well to our north.

Seasonal warm, dry weather will dry things out pretty quickly. And our biggest driver of extreme fire risk — the hot, gusty Diablo winds that dramatically increase fire danger and trigger red flag warnings — typically remains a threat at least into the last days of October.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Note that a stretch of the eastern Sierra Nevada south of Lake Tahoe is currently under a red flag warning because of high winds connected with the storm front that passed through the Bay Area on Monday morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Snow:\u003c/strong> The western flank of the Sierra up to the highest peaks and ridges are getting little snow. Not enough to ski on, though, and it probably won't stick around for long.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A rare occurrence?\u003c/strong> Is September rain in the Bay Area unusual? Not hardly, according to South Bay meteorologist Jan Null, the man who literally wrote the book (a master's thesis, actually) on San Francisco rainfall climatology.

Gasquet, on the Smith River east of Crescent City, got 1.24 inches. Crescent City recorded .73, and Eureka .68. Some parts of the Sierra Nevada foothills near the I-80 corridor got a genuine dumping, with Auburn reporting .95 of an inch, Grass Valley .87 and Blue Canyon .81.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The farthest south precipitation was recorded was Big Sur, which received .04 of an inch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aside from the novelty of seeing rain — San Francisco's last measurable precipitation was May 26, some 113 days ago — what's the impact of the mini-storm, and what's the outlook for more wet weather?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The outlook:\u003c/strong> There is a chance for more rain in Northern California late Tuesday into Wednesday, but the National Weather Service says the highest probability for showers is well to our north.

Seasonal warm, dry weather will dry things out pretty quickly. And our biggest driver of extreme fire risk — the hot, gusty Diablo winds that dramatically increase fire danger and trigger red flag warnings — typically remains a threat at least into the last days of October.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Note that a stretch of the eastern Sierra Nevada south of Lake Tahoe is currently under a red flag warning because of high winds connected with the storm front that passed through the Bay Area on Monday morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Snow:\u003c/strong> The western flank of the Sierra up to the highest peaks and ridges are getting little snow. Not enough to ski on, though, and it probably won't stick around for long.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A rare occurrence?\u003c/strong> Is September rain in the Bay Area unusual? Not hardly, according to South Bay meteorologist Jan Null, the man who literally wrote the book (a master's thesis, actually) on San Francisco rainfall climatology. In the 170 Septembers in the city's weather record, rain has fallen in about two-thirds of them. Here's his Sunday tweet with the stats:\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
