Super educational, thank you! If our media could do the same level of depth and nuance for politics as you just did for our weather,, I think our country would be way better off!
Everything really well explained! All the information is factual and all important topics are covered. Thank you so much to the ABC Team for providing this video and forecast.
The state of California climatologist/ state weather forecaster- released his forecast on October 1 of last year. He forecasted a dryer than normal year. 🤣🤣🤣. Within 2-3 weeks the Pineapple Express started and did not let up for months. Last year was record breaking rain and snow throughout ALL OF CALIFORNIA. The state meteorologist got it 100% wrong.
For 30 years I've been hearing that CA will be hammered with catastrophic rain, and hurricanes in the east due to global warming. Yet we've been below normal on rain in CA, and the east coast is having yet another below normal hurricane season. The good news for you is that at some point we will have another "great flood of CA" and you can say "see I told you so".
Climate change ! They are always right . Heads I win . Tails you lose ! I dont believe in science they claim while they happily think men can get pregnant …..
Kinda feels like saying "we're not in a drought" gives people the wrong idea about our water situation. This term really needs to be updated, perhaps basing it on a 3-4+ year average.
Now you're catching on. That's why they changed the narrative from "global warming" to "climate change" after they got caught cherrypicking the data in 2009. "Global warming" was too specific; but since most people don't understand the difference between climate and weather, "climate change" is tailor-made as a boogeyman that covers all bases. Hot, cold, wet, dry - it doesn't matter. They can blame everything on "climate change". It's nonsense, but it works.

Appreciate your detailed discussion on La Niña. What I don’t understand is why the cooler water pushes the jet stream farther north. What’s the connection?
The polar jet stream (60 degrees) is controlled by polar cell in the north (60-90 degrees) and the ferrel cell (30-60 degrees) in the south. The jet stream’s stream strength is derived from the difference in temperature from these two cells. It isn’t pushed northward as much as it is weakened when the temperature gradient is low allowing the north american low pressure system (what we perceive to be a california winter) to come in. The colder water in the ferrel cell would lead to a weakening of that polar jet stream.
11:10 - Absolutely wrong. The data do NOT show that "the magnitude and intensity of individual storms...are increasing". Even if that were true, it would not necessarily have anything to do with climate (for example, interdecadal oscillations). But it's *_not_* true. This guy is just another one of the crowd of clowns who do not grasp the difference between climate and weather. It is an established fact that the frequency and severity of extreme weather events is not increasing. It's just false to say otherwise.
Why do you show San Francisco rain yr. When youre actually showing results for San Francisco airport. Dont like it. At least be honest about it. I like you. Youre grt but plse show the right precp amount for San Francisco not San Franciso airport.
You’re a wonderful teacher. Thank you.
Excellent presentation.
This is how the news should be.
Thank you
Facts!!! She did so good.
Very interesting, thanks! You've always rocked the weather
Wow, so comprehensive. Thank you for teaching all of us
Love these forecasts!!!!
Our *last* La Niña gave us the CA atmospheric storms of early 2023!
Excellent breakdown! Thank you!
This is incredible. So informative & presented well. Thank you ABC10
It took me 2 days to find this information I was looking for. Thank you for the breakdown.
Very informative. Thank you!
I always enjoy your newscast

So California is going to get less rain, but not necessarily so we’re not sure. It might get more rain, but it might get less. Depends on the year.
We never get the fog like the 50s, 60s, 70s or 80s
that fog was from farmland decomposition. we now have a fraction of farmland we had in those decades. climate change has nothing to do with this,
A GREAT explanation!
Excellent in-depth presentation. Thank you!

Cool 😎 thanks for the info
Great and thorough information. I feel informed. Thank you for your service!
😸good info on La Niña. Thanks👏
Thanks for the heads up gonna cancel my flood insurance
🤣🤣
Swap it for fire insurance…
This was an excellent presentation. Thank you!

Weather feels more like a gamble than anything after all that rain the other year
That’s what CA has always been known for - “feast or famine”
I appreciate the detailed information
Healthy rains in California 🙏🙏🙏
Excellent, well explained.
Also could be the first time that a meteorologist on TV base on metric system (°C & meters) throughout the report.
Really good, thank you.

🤣🤣🤣.

The state meteorologist got it 100% wrong.
But they know the weather 50 years from now !
Lady we were in an El nino. Last year That's why we got rain in Southern California.
For 30 years I've been hearing that CA will be hammered with catastrophic rain, and hurricanes in the east due to global warming. Yet we've been below normal on rain in CA, and the east coast is having yet another below normal hurricane season. The good news for you is that at some point we will have another "great flood of CA" and you can say "see I told you so".
Climate change !
They are always right .
Heads I win . Tails you lose !
I dont believe in science they claim while they happily think men can get pregnant …..
A lot of dust is coming off of Africa. Careful what you wish for!
What about central CA?!!
Kinda feels like saying "we're not in a drought" gives people the wrong idea about our water situation. This term really needs to be updated, perhaps basing it on a 3-4+ year average.
Basically California is more often in a 'drought' state than an fully wer state. It's waves of seriously deep-snow are cyclical by a 11 year cycle. 🎉
what about the 50th state, hawaii
Watch it STILL rain a lot and pour when it does. Thank goodness.
Welcome to the age of Aquarius. 🩵
We never get a strong La Niña since 2010 2011
This is the only job you can have and be wrong 90% of the time and not get fired.
Climate change is to blame for both draught and wetter years?
Now you're catching on. That's why they changed the narrative from "global warming" to "climate change" after they got caught cherrypicking the data in 2009. "Global warming" was too specific; but since most people don't understand the difference between climate and weather, "climate change" is tailor-made as a boogeyman that covers all bases.

Weather forecasters, the only job where being wrong most of the time doesn’t result in being fired

@@gammaraypotatoes3307 Now I want to know more about the polar and ferrel cells... I'm off to the Googlesphere...
Last few years it's been the opposite of the predictions, so it's a very complicated crapshoot.
You are correct. And, I've only seen one meteorologist admit they were wrong.
11:10 - Absolutely wrong. The data do NOT show that "the magnitude and intensity of individual storms...are increasing". Even if that were true, it would not necessarily have anything to do with climate (for example, interdecadal oscillations). But it's *_not_* true.

I think 2024/25, will be very similar to 2007/08 I guess
Expecting for my son to be due on October 7, but the rain You all know why
It’s impossible to understand
👌👌👌👌👌👌🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Any predictions more than 7 days out is just guessing. Told to me by 2 senior meteorologists.
Why report on la nina el nino ... last few years it has done the complete opposite of what the news is selling us
So in other words, we are in between these two models and you needed time fill because you don’t have anything to say. Waste of air time.
Way too long winded get to the point
Niño not Nino 🤦🏽
So it will be hot and dry... Greeeaatttttt
Bottom line, you have no clue
Show me last year forecasts to this year results to help me believe you have any idea of what you profess
Why do you show San Francisco rain yr. When youre actually showing results for San Francisco airport. Dont like it. At least be honest about it. I like you. Youre grt but plse show the right precp amount for San Francisco not San Franciso airport.
Notice a trend of news reporters that have lisps or like there wearing braces what's up no one can speak anymore.
Monica Woods is one of the best presenters I’ve ever heard speak on the weather. I have zero problems understanding her words.
