Highway 1, the main route between Santa Cruz and Monterey counties, remained closed for a second day Monday, its lanes submerged under an enormous expanse of muddy floodwaters covered neighboring farm fields, homes and businesses after a levee on the Pajaro River failed.As another atmospheric river roars in from the Pacific, set to hit the Bay Area early Tuesday morning, Caltrans officials said they have no estimate on when the critical road — traveled by tens of thousands of motorists a day — will reopen.“It’s an extended closure,” said Kevin Drabinski, a Caltrans spokesman. “It’s all a factor of when the water recedes.”The water was not likely to recede any time soon.Forecasters said the latest storm was expected to bring strong winds, falling trees, power outages, shallow landslides in some areas and widespread rain to the Bay Area and Monterey Bay Area overnight, peaking at about 5 a.m. Tuesday with rain expected all day.“Unf...

Western Conference playoff outlook: How do the Warriors’ issues stack up with the rest?

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 03:41:35 GMT

With four weeks remaining in the regular season, there is little separation between the Western Conference’s fourth and 12th seeds. No cream of the crop has risen to top after a handful of superstars were redistributed to contenders.Barring a collapse, the Denver Nuggets, Sacramento Kings and Memphis Grizzlies will secure the top three seeds. The rest are up for grabs, and the contenders are neck-and-neck — a reality where a team can shoot up three spots with a win, or drop out of a potential playoff spot with a loss.The Warriors’ 7-28 road record has kept them in the middle of that jam. But their hopes of avoiding the play-in game are alive because of their stellar play at Chase Center (28-7) as well as Phoenix Suns, Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Lakers’ blockbuster acquisitions missing time or not quite having the impact expected.Can Golden State keep out of the play-in tournament? Here’s a look at the biggest contributing factors.West injuries and...

PAJARO, Calif. (KRON) -- A levee breach on the Pajaro River grew in size from 100-feet-wide to more than 300-feet-wide as crews struggled to repair damages before the next atmospheric river storm blows in Monday night. During a brief lull between storms, crews worked around-the-clock to repair the breach. But the breach has tripled in size since the levee failed Saturday, Monterey County officials said Monday. The Pajaro River is swollen with rainwater flowing downstream and the community of Pajaro is already swamped. "This is going to get worse before it gets better," county supervisor Luis Alejo told KRON4 Monday.

¿Qué es un “nor’easter” y cómo ocurre este fenómeno meteorológico?

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 03:41:35 GMT

(CNN) — Un “nor’easter”, o sistema del noreste, es una tormenta que se desplaza a lo largo de la costa este de EE.UU. y suele tener vientos costeros del noreste.“Los nor’easters suelen desarrollarse en latitudes comprendidas entre Georgia y Nueva Jersey, a menos de 160 km al este o al oeste de la costa este”, explica la Administración Nacional Oceánica y Atmosférica (NOAA, por sus siglas en inglés).Suelen formarse entre septiembre y abril, y son más fuertes durante los meses del invierno boreal.Al viajar hacia el norte a lo largo de la costa este, estas tormentas suelen intensificarse cuando el agua cálida del océano cerca de la corriente del golfo, una fuerte corriente oceánica que trae agua caliente desde el golfo de México hacia el océano Atlántico, choca con el aire ártico del norte.Estas diferencias de temperatura proporcionan “el combustible que alimenta los nor’easters”, explica la NOAA.Los “nor’easter...
