If you're dreaming of a white Christmas - keep dreaming. There is about a 0% chance of snow, even at Big Bear. Confidence is very high that we'll be in a warm/dry pattern for the holiday weekend. Take a look at the potential high temperatures for Christmas Day! 🌡⛱

Good afternoon @CityofSanDiego! This is a perfectly clear view of you (and your neighbor, Tijuana MX) at 2:09pm this afternoon. Captured live from the @Space_Station 260 miles above.

🌧️ Water Year Update 🌧️
Here's a look at where we are vs. where we should be for this time of year in regards to precipitation since the start of the water year on October 1, 2020. The forecast continues to trend on the drier side as we head into next month. #CAwx #climate

EDITOR’S PICK: During severe Amazonia droughts when oceanic supply of moisture failed, the magnitude of rainfall reduction was moderated by enhanced moisture supply from upwind forests.

New publication from our project! "We conclude that the rainfall in [Rondonia] is vulnerable to forest loss in other parts of the Amazon, which buffers the magnitude of rainfall reduction during drought events." #FEWS #Amazonia
My paper is officially published! Please lmk if you don’t have access. #AGUPubs doi.org/10.1029/2020GL091380
