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.",

The National Weather Service's Weather Prediction Center, in College Park, Maryland, issued an advisory late Tuesday forecasting heavy rain across the entire region before the system passes.

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.

One area of concern is the Sonoma Valley County Sanitation District, which experienced \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11720294/sonoma-spills-spewed-nearly-3-million-gallons-of-sewage-into-creeks-and-bay\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sewage overflow problems\u003c/a> after heavy rains in January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our crews were out all night responding to issues from the rain,\" said Ann DuBay of the Sonoma County Water Agency, which runs the sanitation district. \"It’s unbelievable how much water we're seeing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district reported late Tuesday morning it was contending with four ongoing wastewater overflows, with a total of about 159,000 gallons of sewage and stormwater released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Marin, the Ross Valley Sanitation District said it had contingency plans in place as the storm challenged its system's capacity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This evening’s cloudbursts could push our ability to keep the wastewater in the sewers, and our crews are showing signs of fatigue,\" said Steve Moore, the district's general manager.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Napa River is also expected to flood late Tuesday into Wednesday — though not to the disastrous extent predicted for the Russian River. Moderate flooding is forecast for areas along the river from St. Helena to the city of Napa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The forecast flooding on the North Bay rivers is the result of an \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1935067/rivers-in-the-sky-what-you-need-to-know-about-atmospheric-river-storms\">atmospheric river\u003c/a>-fed storm that has remained focused on a narrow area of the North Bay counties since early Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That rich flow of moisture-laden air, coupled with a slow-moving cold front draped across the coast just to the north, has resulted in spectacular rainfall totals in the Russian River drainage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The heaviest rainfall total in the current storm: 11.03 inches, recorded through 10 a.m. Tuesday at the northern Sonoma County rain gauge in Venado, west of Healdsburg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other notable totals include Mount Veeder, west of Napa, 7.83; Olema, 5.47; Kentfield, 4.93; Mount Tamalpais, 4.68; and Santa Rosa, 3.97.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More modest amounts fell to the south, including Richmond, 1.50; Vollmer Peak (Berkeley Hills), 1.32; San Francisco, .40; and Oakland, .34. Most Peninsula and East Bay locations have gotten just a few hundredths of an inch of rain from the storm. A rain gauge near Boulder Creek in the Santa Cruz Mountains — a dependably soggy spot — has gotten a scant .63 of an inch since the storm began. San Jose International Airport had recorded zero rainfall as of 10 a.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gusty winds accompanying the storm have led to power outages around the region, with PG&E saying early Tuesday it was working to restore electricity to about 12,000 customers. The biggest outage, by far, was for a stretch of the San Mateo County coast outside the heavy rain zone, where the lights were out for about 9,400 customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Forecasters and weather models suggest that will change by Wednesday morning as the approaching cold front finally moves through the region and rainfall — heavy at times — is more evenly distributed. Showery weather is expected to continue into Thursday before a brief break on Friday. More rain is expected over the weekend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update 5:50 p.m. Monday:\u003c/strong> Rain has returned to the Bay Area — or part of it anyway, as our latest atmospheric river-fed storm pours most of its abundant supply of moisture on the North Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The heaviest rainfall total in the current storm: 4.08 inches, recorded through 5 p.m. at the northern Sonoma County rain gauge in Venado, west of Healdsburg. Rainfall amounts fall off dramatically to the south, and include Mount Veeder, west of the Napa Valley, 1.50; Santa Rosa, 1.08; San Rafael (Marin Civic Center), .91; Mount Tamalpais, .78; Vollmer Peak (Berkeley Hills), .29; Richmond, .18; San Francisco, .11; and Oakland, .05.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Virtually no rain had been recorded by midafternoon Monday in bayside and valley locations south of a line from Daly City to Livermore, except for a few hundredths of an inch recorded at several stations in the Santa Cruz Mountains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Weather Service says that through late Monday, heavy rainfall will be confined almost exclusively to the North Bay before moving slowly south early Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The copious rainfall in Sonoma, Marin and Napa counties is forecast to cause a new round of flooding on the lower reaches of the Russian River. The normally sluggish stream is expected to reach flood stage at Guerneville before dawn Wednesday and to crest Wednesday evening at about 6.5 feet above flood stage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Napa River, too, is expected to overflow early Wednesday, reaching 2 feet above flood stage and inundating areas adjacent to the river on the northern and southern ends of the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Original post (last updated 8:40 a.m. Monday):\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet another winter storm fed by an \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1935067/rivers-in-the-sky-what-you-need-to-know-about-atmospheric-river-storms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">atmospheric river\u003c/a> is expected to bring 9 inches of rain or more to the wettest locations of the North Bay, triggering another round of flooding on the lower reaches of the Russian River.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Sierra Nevada, which has already received an epic snowfall this season, could see another 10 feet at the highest elevations and 5 to 7 feet at pass levels by Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the storm crawling south along the coast, the National Weather Service issued flood watches for most of the Bay Area.
