If Floridians can have named hurricanes and Wisconsin can have named winter storms, it’s time for #California to have named #AtmosphericRivers.
What’s fair is fair! We’d be up to Arkstorm Gina by now, just sayin.

In Nov 1861, it began to rain in CA, presaging disaster. By late Dec, the rivers were full, the Sierra Nevada was under snow, and the soils of the Central Valley were saturated. In early Jan 1862, storms delivered 10’ of rain…#ARkStorm

This point does get missed. The worst-case #arkstorm #atmosphericriver #megaflood scenario is *not* the worst case by a long shot (and this doesn't even account for the 30 feet of sinking landscapes in key at-risk areas). More: https://revkin.substack.com/p/californias-atmospheric-river-blitz

An ARkStorm (for Atmospheric River 1,000) is a "megastorm" that hits California every 100-200 years.

#Motherboard : US Government Predicted a Devastating California ‘ARkStorm’ in 2010—Is It Happening Now? https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/88qjpz/us-government-predicted-a-devastating-california-arkstorm-in-2010is-it-happening-now #SanFranciscoFlood #CaliforniaFlood #CaliforniaStorm #climatechange #Arkstorm #climate

A series of rainstorms caused by atmospheric rivers—much like what is happening now—could cause "megaflooding" in California and put huge parts of the state underwater, scientists warn.

When big weather is happening, I get pretty mesmerized by @Windycom's wind visualizations. For the rest (water vapor, visible satellite, etc), see the GOES Image Viewer link in my #AtmosphericRiver post: https://revkin.substack.com/p/californias-atmospheric-river-blitz #wxtwitter #ARkStorm

Interesting resource, thanks for sharing. Looks like Rio del Mar has orders, as well as Watsonville, to evacuate, while some parts of the CZU burn zone have advisories. Stay safe, peeps! #ARkStorm
USGS has a video on the #Arkstorm risk to #California (basically, a train of atmospheric rivers that doesn't stop... overwhelming rain.) #CAwx https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Vcfeia8QrA
Some background reading on the threat to #California when we get another "Arkstorm" event. (from the USGS) (lots of worries about this upcoming event, but there's no indication this will be at this magnitude... yet) #CAwx #weather #arkstorm https://www.usgs.gov/programs/science-application-for-risk-reduction/science/arkstorm-scenario
