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.",

No injuries were reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"Component-root-0-2-55 Component-p-0-2-46\">More than 1.8 inches of rain fell over 24 hours in Santa Barbara County’s San Marcos pass, while Rocky Butte in San Luis Obispo County recorded 1.61 inches, the weather service said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"Component-root-0-2-55 Component-p-0-2-46\">Los Angeles International Airport said a “storm-related electrical issue” forced a partial closure of Terminal 5, causing post-Christmas passengers to divert to other terminals for certain services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"Component-root-0-2-55 Component-p-0-2-46\">“Cancellations and delays are possible, so it will be important to check your flight status today if flying through Terminal 5,” \u003ca class=\"\" href=\"https://twitter.com/flyLAXairport\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LAX\u003c/a> tweeted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"Component-root-0-2-55 Component-p-0-2-46\">In the San Bernardino Mountains east of Los Angeles, crews were repairing a section of State Route 18 that washed down a hillside after heavy rain late Thursday.

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.

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.

Then the wave was guided eastward by the jet stream towards North America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Along the way the wave amplified, until it broke just like an ocean wave does when it approaches the shore.

There was nothing especially remarkable about this rain event, yet it made big waves twice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, it disturbed the atmosphere in just the right way to set off an undulation in the jet stream — a river of very strong winds in the upper atmosphere — that atmospheric scientists call a Rossby wave (or a planetary wave). Then the wave was guided eastward by the jet stream towards North America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Along the way the wave amplified, until it broke just like an ocean wave does when it approaches the shore. When the wave broke it created a region of high pressure that remained stationary over the North American northwest for more than a week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is where our innocuous rain event made waves again: The locked region of high pressure air set off one of the most extraordinary heat waves we have ever seen, smashing temperature records in the Pacific Northwest of the United States and in Western Canada as far north as the Arctic.
