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 the main issue is that it's an atmospheric river of moderate intensity that's lasting for many, many hours in the same place, and the accumulation of water over that period is really quite substantial.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rainiest locations in the Russian River watershed have received more than a foot of rain since the storm's onset early Monday, with the rain gauge at Venado, west of Healdsburg, recording a total of 16.16 inches through 7 p.m. Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similarly impressive amounts have been recorded throughout the area. Warm Springs Dam, on Dry Creek northwest of Healdsburg, has reported 7.94 inches during the storm. Santa Rosa has received 5.73 inches; Mount Veeder, west of the city of Napa, has recorded 10.12 inches; and Yountville, on the floor of the Napa Valley, has gotten 6.69 inches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The heavy rainfall started rapid rises on the Napa River, which is forecast to reach flood stage at St. Helena and the city of Napa, though not to the potentially disastrous levels forecast for the Russian.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The river forecast center said the Napa would crest late tonight \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnrfc.noaa.gov/graphicalRVF.php?id=SHEC1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">at St. Helena\u003c/a> at about 3 feet above flood stage.

We get the same storm systems, so why do parts of the North Bay and the Santa Cruz Mountains get hit so much harder?”\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As someone with a coffee mug that reads “Weather Geek,” I’ve been called upon to reply. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So to begin: Yes, it’s a real thing. There are parts of the North Bay, which the local office of the National Weather Service defines as stretching all the way to the Sonoma-Mendocino county line, that are well known for their high winter rain totals. Ditto for the area around Mount Tamalpais in Marin County and the Santa Cruz Mountains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s what we’ve seen in our most recent series of storms, during which nearly 10 inches of rain has fallen in the mountains south of San Jose and nearly nine inches has come down in northern Sonoma. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The main cause here, as in regions throughout California and the world, is local topography and what meteorologists term \u003ca href=\"https://forecast.weather.gov/glossary.php?word=orographic+lifting\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">orographic lifting\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meteorologists point to other factors, too, especially the general tendency for rainfall to increase on the West Coast as one moves from south to north due to large-scale atmospheric factors. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But first, as to that orographic thing: That’s a process in which air colliding with obstacles in the landscape — mountains, ridges and hills — is forced to rise. Rising air cools, and the cooling causes water vapor in the air to condense. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/ggweather/status/827669195877908481\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When moisture-laden air is driven across coastal terrain by vigorous winter storm winds, that process of orographic lifting leads to significantly higher amounts of rainfall over the mountains and hills. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, areas to the east of the high terrain are in “rain shadows” that receive dramatically lower amounts of precipitation than sites in or to the west of the mountains. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What happens with orographics … that air flow that’s below two or three thousand feet, or in the case of San Francisco below a thousand feet, it can’t run through the mountains, so it gets forced up over the top,” says veteran Bay Area meteorologist Jan Null. “That process lifts that air up, and our better precipitation-producing clouds are those that have stronger vertical motions. So you get vertical motion, you get more air rising up, you get more precipitation out of it. On the east side, then you get sinking air, which is detrimental to the formation of precipitation.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neil Lareau, a professor of atmospheric sciences at the University of Nevada, Reno, says the orientation of the mountains and ridges in the Bay Area — they generally face southwest — is also important in squeezing out more rainfall from storm winds blowing from that direction. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The southwest-facing mountains “are lifting that really moist layer of marine air … and they’re adding a whole bunch of water to clouds at a low level as the air runs up the mountain slopes,” Lareau says. “Technically, this is called a warm-rain process — you can picture it as really, really intense drizzle that gets added to the storm system.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since rain will start much sooner in such orographically favored areas, he says, “those places get a huge amount of rain, both in terms of intensity and duration.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/NWSBayArea/status/982489479125585920\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[dropcap]T[/dropcap]hese effects — enhanced orographic rainfall and corresponding rain shadows — can lead to surprisingly dramatic differences in rainfall over short distances. Bay Area meteorologist Jan Null points out in his narrative \u003ca href=\"https://www.ggweather.com/sf/narrative.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">summary of San Francisco’s climate\u003c/a> that the city’s average annual rainfall varies from more than 22 inches in the hills in south-central neighborhoods to 18 inches in the city’s northeastern corner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps the best-known example of a local contrast between a wet site and a nearby dry site is in the South Bay. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At San Jose airport, you get 15 inches of rain a year,” Null says. “You get up around the Ben Lomond area in the Santa Cruz Mountains, you get around 60 inches. That’s a 4-to-1 ratio in about 15 miles as the crow flies.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similar, if less startling differences, can be found throughout the region. Half Moon Bay, on the San Mateo coast, gets about 29 inches of rain a year; Palo Alto, 15 miles to the southeast, and across ridges that rise to more than 2,000 feet, gets about 16 inches. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lareau notes that a couple of other factors explain the tendency for more rain to fall in the northern half of the Bay Area. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One is called “terrain channeling and convergence,” in which southerly winds blowing from the Santa Clara Valley and up the bay meet a moist flow of air flowing through the Golden Gate. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This can lead to an enhancement of precipitation where those two air streams run together,” Lareau says. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also points to the Bay Area’s location relative to the winter jet stream — a sort of high-altitude blast of air that plays a central role in steering and enhancing storms and plumes of moisture arriving from the Pacific. The jet often takes aim at our part of the coast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Bay Area is remarkably at this dividing point — the South Bay versus the North Bay, there are many more hours of precipitation once you move up into Marin and locations to the north than there are to the south.

There are parts of the North Bay, which the local office of the National Weather Service defines as stretching all the way to the Sonoma-Mendocino county line, that are well known for their high winter rain totals. Ditto for the area around Mount Tamalpais in Marin County and the Santa Cruz Mountains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s what we’ve seen in our most recent series of storms, during which nearly 10 inches of rain has fallen in the mountains south of San Jose and nearly nine inches has come down in northern Sonoma. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Rising air cools, and the cooling causes water vapor in the air to condense. \u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

So you get vertical motion, you get more air rising up, you get more precipitation out of it. On the east side, then you get sinking air, which is detrimental to the formation of precipitation.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neil Lareau, a professor of atmospheric sciences at the University of Nevada, Reno, says the orientation of the mountains and ridges in the Bay Area — they generally face southwest — is also important in squeezing out more rainfall from storm winds blowing from that direction. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The southwest-facing mountains “are lifting that really moist layer of marine air … and they’re adding a whole bunch of water to clouds at a low level as the air runs up the mountain slopes,” Lareau says. “Technically, this is called a warm-rain process — you can picture it as really, really intense drizzle that gets added to the storm system.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since rain will start much sooner in such orographically favored areas, he says, “those places get a huge amount of rain, both in terms of intensity and duration.”\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Bay Area meteorologist Jan Null points out in his narrative \u003ca href=\"https://www.ggweather.com/sf/narrative.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">summary of San Francisco’s climate\u003c/a> that the city’s average annual rainfall varies from more than 22 inches in the hills in south-central neighborhoods to 18 inches in the city’s northeastern corner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps the best-known example of a local contrast between a wet site and a nearby dry site is in the South Bay. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At San Jose airport, you get 15 inches of rain a year,” Null says. “You get up around the Ben Lomond area in the Santa Cruz Mountains, you get around 60 inches. That’s a 4-to-1 ratio in about 15 miles as the crow flies.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similar, if less startling differences, can be found throughout the region. Half Moon Bay, on the San Mateo coast, gets about 29 inches of rain a year; Palo Alto, 15 miles to the southeast, and across ridges that rise to more than 2,000 feet, gets about 16 inches. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lareau notes that a couple of other factors explain the tendency for more rain to fall in the northern half of the Bay Area. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One is called “terrain channeling and convergence,” in which southerly winds blowing from the Santa Clara Valley and up the bay meet a moist flow of air flowing through the Golden Gate. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This can lead to an enhancement of precipitation where those two air streams run together,” Lareau says. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also points to the Bay Area’s location relative to the winter jet stream — a sort of high-altitude blast of air that plays a central role in steering and enhancing storms and plumes of moisture arriving from the Pacific. The jet often takes aim at our part of the coast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Bay Area is remarkably at this dividing point — the South Bay versus the North Bay, there are many more hours of precipitation once you move up into Marin and locations to the north than there are to the south. And really, that dividing line is just about San Francisco,” Lareau says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the region’s rainiest spots — in the hills and ridges of the Russian River watershed in northern Sonoma County — owe their reputations mostly to orographic influences. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cazadero, a tiny community north of the river and about 10 miles inland from the coast, was once dubbed by no less than the Los Angeles Times the “\u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/1998/feb/26/news/mn-23285\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">state’s wettest town\u003c/a>.” It’s a mess finding up-to-date climate data for the area, but according to one fragmentary record from the Western Regional Climate Center, Cazadero and environs records average rainfall in the 75- to 80-inch range.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1937679/proposed-scale-for-atmospheric-river-storms-runs-from-beneficial-to-hazardous\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">West Coast Storms Get Some Respect With New Scale\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1937679/proposed-scale-for-atmospheric-river-storms-runs-from-beneficial-to-hazardous\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2019/02/RS8626_467299859-1020x668.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The storms known as ‘atmospheric rivers’ can be highly beneficial to California’s water supply.

It burned through oak wood, chaparral, mixed hardwood forest and riparian flora, all the way from steep mountain ridges to the flatter city areas of Santa Rosa.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">The danger is that we are anticipating a second disaster.\u003ccite>Sonoma County Supervisor James Gore\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Since then, the region has received enough rain that bits of green lawn are starting to sprout in front of destroyed houses and along street curbs, while some mountainsides are still scorched black with stick-figure trees. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> “It’s shocking to see this place transform, but at the same time it still has that eerie feeling,” said Gore.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mudslides often happen after wildfires, because the brush that slows rain runoff has burned away and the soil can be less porous, making it harder for the land to soak up the rain. Prolonged heavy rain could cause this soil to fail and trigger a landslide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s what officials are now hoping to prevent. If you drive through parts of Santa Rosa and Sonoma County, you’ll see efforts underway to prevent erosion and mudslides. There are sand bags and straw logs along the roads. In some places, the ground all the way to the top of the trees is covered in a minty green spray. It’s called hydroseeding and it’s meant to help plants regrow quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Although debris flows can happen on any slope that is made up of weak or broken materials, the\u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2005/3106/pdf/FS-3106.pdf\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> U.S. Geological Survey reports\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> the areas most at risk are those with sedimentary or metamorphic rock underneath a top layer where at least 65 percent of the land has been moderately to highly burned. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">After the wildfires, the U.S. Geological Survey assessed the burned areas in the North Bay to produce\u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://landslides.usgs.gov/hazards/postfire_debrisflow/index.php\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> maps that estimate the likelihood of a debris flow\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> based on the soil, basin and rainfall characteristics. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://landslides.usgs.gov/hazards/postfire_debrisflow/detail.php?objectid=163\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to the assessment map for the area burned by the Tubbs Fire\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, parts of the Riebli-Wallace neighborhood have a 20-60 percent likelihood of a debris flow after an intense rainstorm. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dennis Staley is a research geologist with the U.S. Geological Survey and helped produce the maps. He said mudslides can happen even with less intense rainstorms, if they occur over a long period of time. The landslides of the USGS models are based on very short duration with very high-intensity rainfalls, which produce debris flows that are like flash floods.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”Q2ycLBaXKCusaWA4cOP4nAX8MoncwUdV”]\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“They’re a lot more dangerous.

On Christmas Day that year, a storm led to \u003ca href=\"http://www.pe.com/2010/10/13/verdict-reached-in-2003-mudslide-deaths/\">a mudslide that killed 16 people at two campgrounds in San Bernardino County\u003c/a>. Rainfall in that storm was relatively moderate, about an inch of rain per hour, said Staley.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“That tragedy was a catalyst for the development of the tools and models that we use to predict debris flow hazards, as well as the post-fire debris flow early warning system,” he said.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Now, the \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://landslides.usgs.gov/hazards/warningsys.php\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">USGS partners with the National Weather Service in Los Angeles and San Diego counties to provide early warnings\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to officials in those regions for the potential of landslides based on the basin models and rain forecasts. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In Sonoma County, officials have advised residents to consider purchasing flood insurance and warned that there is a higher potential for mudslides and landslides.\u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2005/3106/pdf/FS-3106.pdf\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> According to a USGS report\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, debris flows could be triggered by heavy rainfall for up to two years after a fire.

Prolonged heavy rain could cause this soil to fail and trigger a landslide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s what officials are now hoping to prevent. If you drive through parts of Santa Rosa and Sonoma County, you’ll see efforts underway to prevent erosion and mudslides. There are sand bags and straw logs along the roads. In some places, the ground all the way to the top of the trees is covered in a minty green spray. It’s called hydroseeding and it’s meant to help plants regrow quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Although debris flows can happen on any slope that is made up of weak or broken materials, the\u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2005/3106/pdf/FS-3106.pdf\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> U.S. Geological Survey reports\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> the areas most at risk are those with sedimentary or metamorphic rock underneath a top layer where at least 65 percent of the land has been moderately to highly burned. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">After the wildfires, the U.S. Geological Survey assessed the burned areas in the North Bay to produce\u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://landslides.usgs.gov/hazards/postfire_debrisflow/index.php\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> maps that estimate the likelihood of a debris flow\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> based on the soil, basin and rainfall characteristics. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://landslides.usgs.gov/hazards/postfire_debrisflow/detail.php?objectid=163\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to the assessment map for the area burned by the Tubbs Fire\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, parts of the Riebli-Wallace neighborhood have a 20-60 percent likelihood of a debris flow after an intense rainstorm. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dennis Staley is a research geologist with the U.S. Geological Survey and helped produce the maps. He said mudslides can happen even with less intense rainstorms, if they occur over a long period of time. The landslides of the USGS models are based on very short duration with very high-intensity rainfalls, which produce debris flows that are like flash floods.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“They’re a lot more dangerous.

On Christmas Day that year, a storm led to \u003ca href=\"http://www.pe.com/2010/10/13/verdict-reached-in-2003-mudslide-deaths/\">a mudslide that killed 16 people at two campgrounds in San Bernardino County\u003c/a>. Rainfall in that storm was relatively moderate, about an inch of rain per hour, said Staley.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“That tragedy was a catalyst for the development of the tools and models that we use to predict debris flow hazards, as well as the post-fire debris flow early warning system,” he said.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Now, the \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://landslides.usgs.gov/hazards/warningsys.php\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">USGS partners with the National Weather Service in Los Angeles and San Diego counties to provide early warnings\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to officials in those regions for the potential of landslides based on the basin models and rain forecasts. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In Sonoma County, officials have advised residents to consider purchasing flood insurance and warned that there is a higher potential for mudslides and landslides.\u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2005/3106/pdf/FS-3106.pdf\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> According to a USGS report\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, debris flows could be triggered by heavy rainfall for up to two years after a fire.

About half an inch in the wettest North Bay locations and a quarter-inch or less for the rest of the region. The forecast calls for showers to end by Thursday evening and for Friday to be partly cloudy and unusually humid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Revisiting June rainfall history: The wettest June on San Francisco's long rain record occurred in 1884. The city's downtown gauge measured 2.57 inches that month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then as now, the local media had an outsize interest in what seems like relatively mild atmospheric events. But whereas today the main focus of weather reporting is on travel impacts, the rain's effect on the state's crops got most of the attention in 1884.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wheat was California's biggest crop in the 1880s. Lots of acreage was planted in barley and hay, too. The grain crops were vulnerable to being \"lodged,\" or beaten down, in the downpours that swept the state. New-mown hay was liable to rot in the fields.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco's Daily Alta California reported bad news from farm districts throughout the state. A correspondent in Merced, in the San Joaquin Valley, wrote \"the wheat fields are indeed a woful [sic] looking scene to look upon.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From Oroville came news \"that hundreds of tons of hay is rotting in the fields, and thousands of acres of the harvest grain lies flat and cannot be harvested. The present outlook is very gloomy for the farmers.\" The Napa Valley's hay crop was said to be close to a total loss.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Sacramento Union reported the late rain had ruined the season's cherry harvest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Union said Sacramento County was a bright spot amid the state's dismal farmlands, with corn and alfalfa and other crops doing well after the rains. And the county had good news for breweries, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The hop men are highly elated over the prospect of an abundant crop and the assured fact of excellent prices,\" the Union said, estimating the counties' crop of hops would total 3.6 million pounds and bring growers nearly three-quarters of a million dollars.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
