Another day of chilly fog and haze, but "Flora" looks wildly enthusiastic nonetheless — she's a Husky mix, so she doesn't mind the cold! If you want to stare into these baby blues on a regular basis, here are details on how to adopt her:

Still looks like we'll break out of this "stuck" weather pattern next week, with a couple of rain chances headed our way. Still a lot of uncertainty this far in advance, but at least there's light at the end of the tunnel!

California's Central Valley has been shrouded in Tule fog for the last 16 days.

🚨ADOPTABLE DOG ALERT🚨

His human passed away, so "Doug" is looking for a new fur-ever home in time for the holidays. Even another day of foggy cold can't wipe the smile off this sweet boy's face! Details on how to adopt him here:

We rely on "ensemble" models for long-range forecasting — one model run dozens of times to give us a range of outcomes. The European model's 50-member ensemble shows an eventual end to our current dry stretch! An unsettled pattern should return for the second half of December... #CAwx

Have you been watching the little swarm of earthquakes east of San Francisco (most recently, M3.7)? Here's a map and timeline.

Gross.

Air quality will be problematic for as long as this stagnant air mass remains in place...which will be at LEAST the next seven days.

Very much looking forward to the coming wave of scientists in elected office.

🚨ADOPTABLE DOG ALERT🚨

I have a feeling "Piper" won't be available long, so act fast! You'll want a furry friend to cuddle with throughout this stretch of foggy/hazy/chilly weather in the East Bay. Details here:

Had to give @nashseverewx.com a shout-out in my segment on CBS News 24/7 Prime/Time this evening...

The last full moon of 2025 is rising over San Francisco. This is appropriately called the "Cold Moon."

Just three to go!

Good walking weather again on Thursday, just not quite as mild as the temperatures we saw today. Either way, "Daisy" is ready to go! Eventually the stubborn fog and haze will return, so let your pups soak up some sunshine the next few days.

Still no rain in the 7-day forecast, but the long-range data is pointing to the return of an active pattern by the middle of December.

That's WAAAAAAAY down the line in forecast terms, but signs do indicate a shift in the large-scale pattern. #CAwx

🚨ADOPTABLE DOG ALERT🚨

There's nothing in the world happier than a retriever with a ball, and "Rosie" is no exception. Good weather for a nice round of fetch on Wednesday, with some passing clouds and pleasant temperatures. Details on how to adopt Rosie here:

A brief period of gusty offshore winds will kick in on Wednesday. We'll remain below the threshold for a Wind Advisory, and fire fuels aren't dry enough for a significant fire threat.

Breezy conditions will stir the atmosphere and disperse the persistent fog and haze of the past several days!

November 2025 precipitation ranking (since 1895). Record and near record dryness from southern Louisiana to Florida to South Carolina. Meanwhile, record rain in parts of southern California and Nevada - including the wettest November on record for Death Valley.

December 1 marks the start of "meteorological winter" — it's the season in which we see the smallest temperature differences between the Bay Area's various microclimates.

Perfect denouement for a team that willingly employed DJ Durkin

In case you missed it, my latest appearance on the CBS Evening News. Going to be an interesting weekend for nationwide travel…

(Also, my Aggie maroon tie did not bring my team any luck.)

"Ramsey & Jolie" broke out their finest pilgrim attire for Thanksgiving — they may have wanted that headgear to stay warm today! The fog shouldn't be as stubborn tomorrow, allowing temperatures to warm up a bit more. Enjoy the weekend!

Leo trying his best to bring A&M some luck

I grew up in this sea of mist.
The fog was so thick that we would play fog tag. You would tag someone & run about 20 feet to completely disappear. If you hit a pole, you winced & kept quiet or we would all lose outdoor recess when it was foggy. It was silent running sub warefare, all senses alert.

Hope you all had as good a Thanksgiving as "Tucker." Weather looks favorable for a Friday walk to burn off some of those holiday calories!

Coldest November day in Sacramento since 1985 with a high temperature of just 48°F! #CAwx

Leo ran his first Turkey Trot this morning. Little guy did great!
