Analysis: The US government has declared war on the very idea of climate change | CNN Politics Americans are used to whiplash in their climate policy. The US has been in and out and in and out again of the key Paris climate agreement over the past four presidencies.

It was the coldest July in 104 years in Petaluma, with an average maximum temperature of 76 degrees. #CAwx

Dork o’clock indeed

A California heat wave is coming. Here’s when temperatures will rise California is forecast to begin August the same way July ended: mild, at least relative to recent summers. But that cooler-than-normal weather isn’t expected to stick around.

A high-pressure system, possibly the strongest on record for August, is forecast to build across the Four Corners on Tuesday and expand toward California in the following days. It’ll likely result in the hottest weather so far this year in inland California.

Extreme heat returns to the Southwest U.S. next week. It'll likely be the hottest weather so far this year for parts California's Central Valley. #CAwx

Why the Russian Earthquake Didn’t Cause a Huge Tsunami Russia’s magnitude 8.8 earthquake spawned serious tsunami warnings, but waves have been moderate so far. Here’s the geological reason why

#tsunami water level responses from multiple California estuaries in our real-time sensor network.

Timing and magnitude varied based on location, inlet geometry, estuary morphology, and tidal state. For some, water levels continue to fluctuate as the system resonates following the initial signal.

The tsunami advisory has been canceled for San Francisco Bay Area.

“A Tsunami was generated by this event but does not pose a threat
to these areas. Some areas may see small sea level changes.
The decision to re-occupy hazard zones must be made by local
authorities.”

Tsunami updates: 4-foot waves could hit California coast; Hawaii escapes major damage Parts of the Northern California coast could expect to see waves of around 4 feet Wednesday while Hawaii escaped major damage after an 8.8 magnitude quake in Russia.

Here’s a link to our ongoing tsunami coverage at @sfchronicle.com

No major damage at first light in California but tsunami is still ongoing and strong currents threaten harbors and marinas.

TSUNAMI ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FROM THE SONOMA COASTLINE DOWN THROUGH THE BIG SUR COASTLINE INCLUDING SF AND MONTEREY BAY for Coastal North Bay Including Point Reyes National Seashore, North Bay Interior Valleys, Northern Monterey Bay... till 6:00 AM PDT Link

#SanFrancisco, a 1-foot tsunami is not the same as a 1 foot tide. It is a wall of water in motion. It's the energy, not the height, that's dangerous. Don't go to the beach to watch this. #tsunami #LosAngeles #SanDiego, #Seattle

Tsunami just hit Maui. Chart showing observed levels vs. typical tidal levels.

Keep tab open and don't close it! lol

Water levels starting to rise at Nawiliwili (Kauai)

Water levels are fluctuating rapidly as the tsunami hits Midway Island, 1,200 miles northwest of Hawaii... wow.

California under tsunami advisory after magnitude 8.8 quake in Russia California and the entire West Coast from Washington to the Mexico border have been placed under a tsunami advisory after an 8.8 magnitude earthquake rocked Russia. Hawaii is under a tsunami...

Here’s our latest on the California tsunami advisory @sfchronicle.com

www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

Due to the 8.7 earthquake in Kamchatka, Russia, the National Tsunami Warning Center has issued a Tsunami Advisory that includes San Francisco.

California Impacts from the 2011 Tohoku Tsunami How an Earthquake in Japan Helped Shape California's Plan for the Next Tsunami

A tsunami advisory is in effect for the West Coast, including California.
A large tidal wave is NOT expected in San Francisco Bay from the tsunami. However, even small tsunamis can damage harbors and beaches. Here's a great story about California impacts from the March 2011 (Japan) tsunami:

The U.S. West Coast is under a tsunami watch. Hawaii is under a tsunami warning. More information at tsunami.gov

Earthquake off coast of Russia revised to magnitude 8.7 from prior estimate of M8.0.

Tsunami threat to U.S. West Coast being evaluated. Standby.

Not what you want in the middle of summer. Scattered dry lightning predicted in much of Oregon and parts of Northern California on Wednesday. Isolated dry thunderstorms possible up and down Cascades and even parts of western WA and OR on Thursday. #CAwx #ORwx #WAwx

Will investigate further. Thank you for the insight!

And yeah the GACC includes a small part of Nevada (and tinyyyy sliver of Oregon)

Thanks, Chris! I was just on the phone with a ONCC meteorologist. The North Ops GACC uses Earth Networks, so different datasource. Thanks for sharing yours. Is there a reason some of the ICs may have been misclassified as CGs?
