A major storm will arrive in California on Thursday, bringing a period of very heavy rain & risk of flooding esp. from SF Bay Area southward as well as strong gusty winds/isolated thunderstorms. Greatest concern, however, regards debris flow risk in SoCal wildfire zones. #CAwx

Film noir is the perfect movie genre for this time of year, with brisk air and long nights. The annual Noir City Film Festival, running Jan. 24–Feb. 2 at Oakland's Grand Lake Theater, is perfectly timed to get lost in noir’s murky side streets and obfuscating shadows. www.kqed.org/arts/1397053...

A sign of the times: Wildfire Predictive Services (in conjunction with Cal Fire and CalOES) have issued a "fuels and fire behavior advisory" for Southern California. The details are extraordinary, and highlight the relevance of unprecedented antecedent conditions. #CAwx #CAfire

The US economy’s post-pandemic performance stands out as the best among major economies – growth since the pandemic is greater than its pre-pandemic trend. China’s economy was the first to recover from the pandemic shutdowns but has been sluggish since. The European economy has lagged even more.

A deeply saddening passing. I knew Earl & we chatted several times over the years & as he was a guest at Palm Springs for THE BIG COMBO over twenty years ago. A fine actor and super nice person who was totally unpretentious. I’ll miss Earl-a great guy who also loved cats. variety.com/2024/tv/news...

Major mountain travel impacts look increasingly likely Tuesday night-Wednesday. Big mountain storm (1-2 feet at higher elevations) with major disruptions likely. Still very TBD on Denver impacts on Wednesday. Yes, I see the Euro. Yes, I'm still skeptical. #denver #COwx
