Here we go again. A low-pressure system from the Gulf of Alaska is forecast to impact the San Francisco Bay Area from Monday through Wednesday, bringing more rain and wind to a region that was battered by a storm less than a week ago. This system is expected to reach peak intensity over the Pacific Ocean off the coast of the California-Oregon border before drifting south along the California coast and passing by the Bay Area. The storm is expected to bring less severe impacts to the region than the last area of low pressure that passed directly over San Francisco, said Rick Canepa, a forecaster with the National Weather Service. The National Weather Service expanded the Monday-Tuesday wind advisory to include the North Bay, East Bay and eastern Santa Clara hills in addition to the coastal areas. The advisory is in effect Monday night through Tuesday afternoon, with peak gusts expected to be up to 40 to 50 mph. Winds are expected to begin developing in the North Bay at … [Read more...] about Another storm is forecast to hit the Bay Area. Here’s what to expect.

55-car train carrying no passengers derails in California

LeBron James #6 of the Los Angeles Lakers drives around Patrick Williams #44 of the Chicago Bulls during the first half at Crypto.com Arena on March 26, 2023 in Los Angeles, California. Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images/AFP Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James returned from a four-week injury absence on Sunday, revealing after the team’s NBA loss to Chicago he had torn a tendon in his right foot. James scored 19 points off the bench — just his second game as a reserve in his 20-year NBA career — but the Lakers fell to an energized Bulls team 118-108. The 38-year-old star, who last month became the NBA’s all-time leading scorer, revealed the severity of the injury in post-game comments to reporters, saying two doctors had recommended surgery. James said he decided against that after consulting “the LeBron James of feet, and he told me I shouldn’t.” James said doctors monitoring his progress told him he was healing faster than anyone they’d seen with a similar injury. He … [Read more...] about NBA: LeBron James opted against foot surgery to pursue Lakers’ playoff push
Why the Pacific Crest Trail will be more dangerous than ever this year
The Pacific Crest Trail draws thousands of people from all experience levels annually. Some are thru-hikers hoping to complete the 2,650-mile trek through California, Oregon and Washington (from the Mexican border to Canada), in one journey, while others are weekend backpackers and day hikers taking on smaller sections of the trail. The hikers regularly contend with challenges like hypothermia, heat exhaustion, poisonous plants, lightning, bears and rattlesnakes, along with wildfires and other impacts of climate change . But this year, experts warn, hikers face one of the greatest risks in the trail’s history: the record-setting Sierra Nevada snowpack . "These large snowpacks can be susceptible to fast melt if the weather conditions are right," Andrew Schwartz, lead scientist at the Central Sierra Snow Lab , told SFGATE. "Periods of above-average temperatures, particularly if they're prolonged, can cause significant rises in stream and river flows, which can be dangerous.” … [Read more...] about Why the Pacific Crest Trail will be more dangerous than ever this year
