Join us on Tuesday, August 4 at 6pm for our Super El Niño Town Hall—separating fact from fiction.
A historic Super El Niño event is continuing to build off the California coast. This Super El Niño is raising alarm bells among scientists and meteorologists about the potential for larger and more destructive winter storms, significant late season flooding events, ocean-based heat waves, and enhanced summertime monsoonal moisture which could bring lightning to fire-prone regions of Northern California.
While there's been a lot of hype around this potential major weather event, we want to separate fact from fiction and give you the straight scoop about what you can expect this fall and winter, when experts predict it will hit, and how challenging conditions may be.
We're assembling an all-star panel of the nation's best and brightest weather and ocean experts, including one of America's top climate scientists, Dr. Daniel Swain, to give us the very latest. These experts will also do a deep dive into this fall's forecast, while detailing disaster readiness and the most important steps that neighbors can take to prepare.
The town hall will be livestreamed here.
