As deadly wildfires continue to devastate Los Angeles County, the outbreak of a new inferno in the Hollywood Hills on Wednesday afternoon led to the spread of fake pictures and videos across social media claiming that the iconic Hollywood sign is ablaze.
Those images are fake and, at the time of writing, the legendary landmark is safe from the flames as the fire would have to cross over a freeway to impact the sign. Several people have been killed by the out-of-control fires so far, with more than 1,000 structures destroyed and 150 K residents forced to flee their homes.

The NOAA’s Sea Level Rise Viewer provides a sobering glimpse into the future of America’s coastal regions.

While the prospect of entire cities submerging by 2050 is unlikely, the increased frequency of flooding poses a significant risk. Dr. William Sweet, an oceanographer at NOAA, emphasizes that even a modest rise of two feet above average high tide can cause severe disruptions.

As we know it is easy to just chalk every extreme weather event up to climate change, but the data tells us we cannot ignore it

there is a meteorological phrase that we often refer to this time of year: "As November goes, so goes the winter."  Meaning, the weather in November can often be an indicator of how the winter will go.

This raises the stakes even more over the next several weeks.

Hurricane Helene tore into the Southeastern US leaving at least 180 dead and millions of dollars in its destructive path.

Public safety officials are working with university emergency operations to assess the impacts of the storm.

Local agencies will also work to assess the impacts of the storm and will continue to do so.

Conditions remain ripe for tropical development in the western Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico this week, and steering breezes would tend to guide any feature that forms toward the United States.

A La Niña winter is expected, what does that mean?  El Niño neutral conditions continued, but the transition should arrive into the fall and continue through early 2025.

The latest projections from NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center show a weak La Niña is expected to return to western Washington this upcoming winter.
