On the other side, that contradicts the truth, those sensationalizing to generate ratings and sell newspapers know that good news doesn't sell.
Officials warned of inundated streets, overflowing rivers and more snow in the mountains. The National Weather Service issued a rare “high risk” warning for the Central Coast.

Why only reporting on how extreme and bad this is by media?

Thanks, Jean!
I remember talking with Jim Roemer a few times back in the early/mid 90's when he was part of the Freese-Notis, Trade-Winds commodity weather advising service. Craig Solberg too. I was mega impressed with their knowledge of how the weather impacted ag and energy markets, which was what I was making a killing doing in the 1990's from the get go.
This was before the internet and I had a satellite dish on the roof getting the weather information the same time the NWS did. Big funds used meteorologists that would take some time to update forecasts, then pass it on and I was already in before the market dialed in the updated forecast.
There were no algorithms jerking the markets around and they reacted much more predictably.
Today, they have in house models that are sometimes a few minutes faster than anything that I get.

Outside of the fairly localized extreme event in the high population, Los Angeles area almost a week ago, these atmospheric river events from the Natural El Nino have blessed California with wonderful beneficial rains.
Most places will gladly take a bit more of the exact same events(absent the tiny % of area with the extreme rains) with only a very tiny reservoir close to capacity.

It took almost a week for me to get to my lawn because the rain never seems to stop. My grass looks good though. I noticed a couple brave farmers were out working some wet (small) fields
Thanks, Jim!
Ohio was actually the state farthest AHEAD of the average corn planting pace:
I WATCHED A FEW VIDEOS ON YT. THE 10 DAY FORECASTS WERE PRETTY MUCH IN LINE WITH ONE ANOTHER. SOME NASTY WEATHER FOR THE MIDWEST
Here come da HEAT, starting in the middle of next week! Afterwards, that will define the rest of the month with the intensity and location moving around.
Rain amounts in some areas will be deficient and soil moisture, which is wonderful, almost everywhere will be drying up under the heat.
The 75% G/E first corn rating was a big factor for fund selling early in June!
https://www.marketforum.com/forum/topic/104311/#104538
The next rest of June is going to start featuring heat with some areas drying up(especially the Eastern Cornbelt).......other areas will have enough rain to do well.......grow fast in the vegetative state with the heat accumulating Growing Degree Days for corn.
This was the last 12z GEFS run for total rains the next 384 hours.
Light blue is 2+ inches.

There they go again in blaming climate change again for this fake "1 in 1,000 year" event.
Almost 4 inches of rain in 1 hour. An all time record for the amount of rain in just an hour............FOR THIS CITY.
Yes, that's a lot of rain and warmer global temperatures probably contributed at least +7% to that total but its not even close to a record for the United States.
Not even in the top 10. Probably in the top 100.
I'll start a new thread just on this tomorrow to show how absurd it is to call this a 1 in 1,000 year event.

The GoldenRule
Considering the substantial confusion in the media about this critical issue, let me provide the GOLDENRULE OF CLIMATE EXTREMES. Here it is:
The more extreme a climate or weather record is, the greater the contribution of natural variability.
Or to put it a different way, the larger or more unusual an extreme, the higher proportion of the extreme is due to natural variability.
+++++++++++
These people cherry pick every extreme, as if there were no extremes in the past and tie them to climate change.

Yeah, baby! Here comes our first real rain in over 5 weeks!
The dew point here in Evansville, IN yesterday morning was 29 degrees. I've never seen it close to that low in early September in 4 decades of living here. Extraordinarily dry air mass and extraordinarily dry soils making it worse.
Potential for HUGE extremely needed rain event!

We got .7 inches total from Francine!
Much less than hoped for early in the week but close to the amount expected just before it hit.
Most of the rain along and south of the Ohio River was from Francine. Evansville in in dark blue, with 1+ inches in light green and 2+ inches i darker green.
.7" is much better than nothing!
https://www.wunderground.com/maps/precipitation/weekly
New product that shows how depleted our soil moisture is.

The tenacious cross polar flow continues!
Western Canada WILL be frigid. Any cold fronts/air masses entering the US from that location will have a source region from Siberia because of the cross polar flow.
However, the building positive anomaly in the East will provide increasing resistance/moderation to cold air as it crosses the country.

56% of U.S. #corn areas are currently experiencing drought conditions, up sharply from 45% a week ago. That is the week's third highest since 2000 and above the five-year average of 25%.
There's some good news: only 6% of corn areas are in severe or worse drought classification, the week's LOWEST in five years (year-ago was 15%). Also, per CPC's latest forecast, some of this could be alleviated this spring (more so in the east vs west).

Some heavy rains the next 2 weeks will keep some producers out of the fields until May. It's still early, though.
The rains will also be falling in some dry areas to help replenish soil moisture ahead of the growing season.
