California is bracing for a double onslaught of Pacific storms, fueled by atmospheric rivers, that are set to bring heavy rainfall and raise the risk of widespread flooding.
The initial storm hit the West Coast, stretching from Oregon to Northern California and the San Francisco Bay area, with showers and gusty winds.
Termed "Pineapple Express," these storms originate from warm, subtropical waters near Hawaii.
The first storm, expected to intensify in the Bay area, will bring 2 to 5 inches of rain in San Francisco, with snow forecast in nearby mountains, prompting flood watches and high-wind warnings.

EPA's New Limits on PFAS , in Drinking Water Could Be , Upended by the Supreme Court.
'Newsweek' reports that the United States Supreme Court
is scheduled to hear a case against new water rules put
in place by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
'Newsweek' reports that the United States Supreme Court
is scheduled to hear a case against new water rules put
in place by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
In April, new national limits were placed on per-
and polyfluoroalkyl substances in the nation's
drinking water, otherwise known as PFAS. .
Also known as "forever chemicals,"
PFAS have been linked to a number of
health concerns, including cancer.
According to the EPA, of the 66,000 public drinking water
systems impacted by the new limits, an estimated 6% to
10% will need to make updates to meet the new standards.
According to San Francisco, the EPA's new
"narrative" regulations fail to meet the Clean Water
Act's requirement to lay out clear restrictions.
The lawsuit headed to the Supreme Court accuses the EPA of setting vague rules without quantifiable standards.
Rather than specify pollutant limits
that tell the permitholder how much
they need to control their discharges
as required by the CWA, these
prohibitions effectively tell
permitholders nothing more than
not to cause 'too much' pollution, Lawyers representing San Francisco, via 'Newsweek'.
These generic water quality terms
expose San Francisco and numerous
permitholders nationwide to
enforcement actions while failing
to tell them how much they need
to limit or treat their discharges
to comply with the Act, Lawyers representing San Francisco, via 'Newsweek'.
We simply want to know in advance
what requirements apply to us, and
we want the EPA to fulfil its duty
under the Clean Water Act to
determine those requirements. , Lawyers representing San Francisco, via 'Newsweek'.
'Newsweek' points out that the Supreme Court has sided against
the EPA in the past, most recently in 2022 when it ruled
6-3 against the Biden administration's climate agenda. .

USGS Monitoring Kilauea , Following Uptick in Seismic Activity .
'Newsweek' reports that the alert level for the area
around Hawaii's Kilauea volcano has been elevated
following an increase in volcanic activity.
While the volcano is not erupting, an increase in
earthquake activity and ground deformation near
the surface has been observed since June 2.
According to an update released by the U.S.
Geological Survey, the activity suggests that
magma is moving close to the surface. .
Rates of seismicity and deformation
increased further after 5:00 p.m. HST.
At this time, it is not possible to say
with certainty if this activity will
lead to an eruption—the activity
may remain below ground. , U.S. Geological Survey update, via 'Newsweek'.
However, an eruption in Kīlauea's
summit region within Hawai'i
Volcanoes National Park
is one potential outcome, U.S. Geological Survey update, via 'Newsweek'.
Accordingly, the USGS Hawaiian
Volcano Observatory (HVO) is
raising the Volcano Alert Level
for ground-based hazards from
ADVISORY to WATCH and the
Aviation Color Code from
YELLOW to ORANGE, U.S. Geological Survey update, via 'Newsweek'.
HVO continues to closely monitor
Kīlauea for signs of increasing
activity. Should volcanic activity
change significantly, a new Volcanic
Activity Notice will be issued, U.S. Geological Survey update, via 'Newsweek'.
The Hawaii Volcanoes National Park Service said it would
close the nearby Devastation Trail parking lot and
Keanakakoi area until further notice due to the alert.
