Throughout the week, he said, temperatures hovered in the mid-70s to 80s, but on Saturday they dropped to between 15 and 25 degrees below average.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The system came through and just really, really cooled things down and allowed for conditions to bring these kinds of winds,” he told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michael Cane, a lab director and boat captain at UC Davis’s Tahoe research center, said the shoreline where the boat was located is also quite rocky and can be hard to access, which could have made it more dangerous for the people on board to get to shore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the storm came up quickly and could have taken boaters by surprise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I run a lot of vessels on the lake, and we’re always looking at the weather and the forecast and paying really close attention to that, because even when you’re about to go on a lake and it’s calm, it can change quickly,” he told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cane hopes that those who choose to go out on the lake will take proper precautions, like wearing life vests, and come into shore at the first clues of an approaching storm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I pay attention to large clouds falling over the mountains, which could signify thunder showers, or look in the distances to see if there’s whitecaps coming towards me and try to pay attention to those things so that I can avoid getting involved in those dangerous situations,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

His response to the discovery? “I was a bit annoyed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moeckel received his Ph.D. as part of this investigation and is now a researcher at UC Berkeley’s Space Sciences Laboratory. He and colleagues \u003ca href=\"https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.ado9779\">described their findings\u003c/a> in a recent issue of the journal Science Advances\u003cem>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s why the mushball theory seemed so preposterous. Prior to the launch of the\u003ca href=\"https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/missions/juno/\"> Juno mission\u003c/a>, a NASA space probe launched in 2011, now in orbit around Jupiter, scientists generally thought that other planets would be similar to Earth, where the incoming sunlight generally drives weather and climate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/CC7OJ7gFLvE?t=105\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We went to Jupiter and thought, well, probably it’s gonna look very similar to Earth. And then one of the big things that the Juno mission had found was that our Earth-based approach could not explain what we’re finding,” Moeckel said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scientists discovered that some ingredients of the atmosphere were not acting as they expected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Picture Jupiter, a storm-rich gas planet bubbling and swirling like tie-dye in motion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You’re seeing all of these different storms, all of these different colors. So, you expect everything is well-mixed, right? It looks like a boiling pot,” Moeckel said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12036399\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1041px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12036399 size-full\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/mushball-image-3b.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1041\" height=\"886\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/mushball-image-3b.jpg 1041w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/mushball-image-3b-800x681.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/mushball-image-3b-1020x868.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/mushball-image-3b-160x136.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1041px) 100vw, 1041px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">An illustration depicting how violent storms on Jupiter — and likely other gas giants — generate mushballs and shallow lightning. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of NASA/JPL-Caltech/SwRI/CNRS)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>However, Juno found that ammonia gas, which they thought should be everywhere in the atmosphere as it would be around Earth, was effectively missing from the outside of the planet hundreds of kilometers deep.

And now we’re starting to understand that it is a little bit more complex than that. We cannot just make a back-of-the-envelope calculation about the climate [based on the nearest star]. We also have to take into account the weather dynamics and how those dynamics affect our observations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an added bit of poetry, Moeckel pointed out that the Roman god Jupiter — Zeus in the Greek pantheon — is the divine wielder of lightning bolts.

Statewide, it sits at 96% of average.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Snow-wise, we’re in pretty good shape,” said Andy Reising, manager of snow surveys and water supply forecasting for the California Department of Water Resources. “There were some indicators that we \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12029075/california-snowpack-rebounds-amid-a-wobbly-winter-with-more-storms-on-the-way\">might have a dry year\u003c/a>, but fortunately, the storm windows have stayed open and given us a good boost in February and March.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last three years of wet winters might have something to do with human-caused climate change, Anderson said, because “in a warmer world, the atmosphere has more energy to work with. We see these weather patterns kind of having a little more kick.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reservoir levels statewide, meanwhile, are \u003ca href=\"https://cdec.water.ca.gov/resapp/RescondMain\">mostly above average\u003c/a>. Lake Shasta, the state’s largest reservoir and part of the federal Central Valley Project, is at 113% of its average capacity for April 1.

Anderson’s larger worry is that the snow could melt quickly during potentially warm to extremely warm periods forecasted for later this spring and early summer. In turn, that rapid snowmelt could cause grasses to grow quickly, leading to fuel for early season grass fires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cooler temperatures, on the other hand, would allow for a more moderate rate of snowmelt that would feed reservoirs without overwhelming them or leading to overgrowth of grasses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As we have longer days, that means more opportunity for more energy to move into the pack, getting it ready to melt,” Anderson said. “The longer we stay above freezing, the more opportunity for that water to start moving through the watershed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Andrew Schwartz, director of the UC Berkeley \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1995954/at-hidden-tahoe-lab-scientists-learn-the-art-of-measuring-snow\">Central Sierra Snow Lab\u003c/a>, said all the snow over the last week has created the perfect conditions for winter sports enthusiasts in the Lake Tahoe area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’re a skier or snowboarder, I encourage you to get up here because conditions are fantastic,” Schwartz said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He expects the snowpack to grow even more in the coming days as a storm continues to pelt the Sierra with as much as another foot of snow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re sitting pretty good without a huge amount of deficiency; warm temperatures are the big concern now,” Schwartz said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

The momentary rise in temperature, surging into the 80s and low 90s across the Bay Area, was caused by high-pressure systems hanging over the region, Gass said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, as a moisture-rich marine layer and low-pressure troughs begin to settle in the area, meteorologists expect rain in the North Bay and light precipitation south of the Golden Gate starting Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Little to no rainfall is expected for the Central Coast, and the highest rainfall totals are likely to be in the coastal ranges of Sonoma and Napa counties and Marin County.[aside postID=science_1992036 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2024/03/iStock-501441083-1020x680.jpg']Inconsistent weather patterns are expected to persist into next week, Gass said. An atmospheric river is approaching the region and is expected to settle in the Bay Area by the middle of next week, bringing with it more fog and drizzle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Weather Service also announced a \u003ca href=\"https://www.weather.gov/mtr/\">high surf advisory and beach hazards statement\u003c/a> for Pacific Coast beaches beginning early Thursday morning and continuing into Friday. Meteorologists are urging residents to look out for potential rip currents, high breaking waves and other hazardous weather conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The region is in a state of transition, said Rick Canepa, another meteorologist at the weather service. Some inconsistency in weather conditions across the Bay Area is expected as cool air and moisture filters into and around the atmosphere, he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Forecast models can have trouble trying to predict the more precise location of an atmospheric river because just a slight shift over the Pacific makes a difference by the time it reaches the coast,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rain starting Wednesday and continuing through the rest of the month will likely be beneficial showers, Canepa said. By early April, however, there’s a chance the changes in atmosphere and a drop in pressure could bring in a stronger storm system with heavier rains and winds in certain areas. As the spring season continues, it will get more tricky to forecast exact weather, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bay Area residents should expect the wet and cold to continue as cloudy conditions persist, he said. It’s likely that swimsuits and flip-flops will have to stay stored away for at least the next few weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Some inconsistency in weather conditions across the Bay Area is expected as cool air and moisture filters into and around the atmosphere, he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Forecast models can have trouble trying to predict the more precise location of an atmospheric river because just a slight shift over the Pacific makes a difference by the time it reaches the coast,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rain starting Wednesday and continuing through the rest of the month will likely be beneficial showers, Canepa said. By early April, however, there’s a chance the changes in atmosphere and a drop in pressure could bring in a stronger storm system with heavier rains and winds in certain areas. As the spring season continues, it will get more tricky to forecast exact weather, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bay Area residents should expect the wet and cold to continue as cloudy conditions persist, he said.
