o Seventy-five environmental groups around the country announced today that they will mount a petition campaign to reinstate the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule overturned by the Bush administration in one of its most controversial environmental decisions. Among the first citizens who have lined up to file a petition is Rebecca Giddens, a 2004 Olympic silver medalist kayaker. "National Forests are an important part of my lifestyle and I'm concerned our pristine forests and the unique recreational opportunities they provide are at risk," said Giddens, who trained for the 2004 Summer Games on California's famed Kern River, which runs through thousands of acres of roadless areas on the Sequoia National Forest. More. o Hurricane Katrina’s tragic impacts were greatly worsened by our efforts to "control" rivers and fill wetlands. The Mississippi’s hundreds of large dams and thousands of miles of levees have almost eliminated flows of sediment needed to replenish coastal wetlands, making Louisiana – which has lost 1.2 million acres of coastal lands since the 1930s – much more vulnerable to storm surges. Damage from floods in the U.S. – and around the world – has gone up dramatically over the past six decades despite huge investments in flood–control infrastructure. Global warming is likely to worsen the situation by raising sea levels and increasing the frequency and intensity of severe storms. More. o Twice over the last 10 years, the federal government has released massive floods into the Grand Canyon. The floods were intended to restore sandbars, or beaches that have been disappearing since the Colorado River was dammed in the 1960s. Now, scientists are trying to figure out if the effort was worth it. More from NPR . o California is blessed with some of the most beautiful and diverse rivers in the world. From the steep creeks of the high Sierra to the broad and powerful rivers of the Central Valley, each river tells a personal story and provides a unique experience to the visitor. More.

River Notes for Wednesday, November 30, 2005
Important information about River Notes.
Update Monday, 12/05/05 10:00 A.M. Sub-freezing post-frontal temperatures limited the rain run-off and the Upper Kern peaked at a lower than expected 1516 cfs on Friday. At 11:00 yesterday morning, the recorded temperature at the Crabtree Meadow (10,700 ft.) snow sensor was a chilly minus 7° F. Today's computer models show a weak upper low developing along the west coast Thursday afternoon. This could produce showers in the Southern Sierra, but small changes in the predicted upper air pattern could change the forecast. We'll see!
Update Friday, 12/02/05 3:00 P.M. Conveyor belt of moisture streaming into California and pushed over the Sierra has resulted in heavy snow at the higher elevations, and rain, or a mix of rain and snow, below. In the Kern basin, snow sensors at Chagoopa Plateau (10,300 ft.) and Casa Vieja (8,300 ft.) have recorded nearly 4.5 inches (water equivalent) of snow. At Casa Vieja the recorded snow depth is only 12 inches -- indicating very wet snow. The Remote Automated Weather Station (RAWS) at Johnsondale recorded nearly 2 inches of rain and at Kernville over an inch of rain. Run-off has already increased the flow on the Upper Kern to above 1300 cfs, and it looks like it could go significantly higher. We'll see!
Strong Pacific system forecast to produce heavy precipitation in the Sierra over the next 48-60 hours. Satellite images show impressive looking system, entraining significant moisture from the sub-tropics. GOES satellite soundings indicate precipitable water values in excess of an inch, with freezing levels well above 10,000 ft.in the warm sector ahead of the system.
Computer models develop a very strong and moist west-southwesterly inflow into the Sierra which should result in significant orographic precipitation. Using Kern Point (near Junction Meadow) as an analysis point, this morning's NAM computer model generates about 4 inches (water equivalent) of precip, starting sometime tonight. The GFS model -- which does not handle terrain-induced precipitation as well as the NAM -- generates only about 1 inch water equivalent, and also holds off on the start of precipitation until mid-morning tomorrow.
The snow level in the Southern Sierra could start out quite high. This morning at 8:00 the recorded temperature at Crabtree Meadow at 10,700 ft. was a balmy 33 degrees. NAM and GFS model soundings for Porterville for 10:00 tomorrow (Thursday) morning indicate a freezing level of about 10,000 ft. The CNRFC forecasts the average 24 hr. snow level at Giant Forest to start out at about 9, 400 ft. today, and drop to about 7.800 ft. tomorrow. We'll see!
Mountain snows and blustery Winter weather have us looking forward to the Holidays. Need some gift ideas for your friends and family? The Sierra South River Store is loaded with Holiday goodies and sale items. Don't know what to get? You can't go wrong with a Sierra South Gift Certificate.
The Lower Kern has dropped below 300 cfs, ending another great season of paddling on the Kern. In the 2004-2005 paddling season the highest reported hourly flow and stage for the Kern at Kernville was 8211 cfs at 10.05 ft. on Friday, May 27 at 1:00 P.M. The highest reported average daily flow for the Kern at Kernville was 7280 cfs on Saturday, May 28. The highest reported average daily inflow to Lake Isabella was 7077 cfs on Friday, May 27. The USGS gage on the South Fork near Onyx, recorded a peak flow of 1,710 cfs on the afternoon of May 17th. Around Christmas of last year Lake Isabella bottomed out at about 93,000 acre-feet, and with the big run-off swelled to a max of 538,667 acre-feet.
SSTs are now below normal in the Nino 1+2, Niño 3, and Nino 3.4 regions of the equatorial Pacific. Most assessments describe the overall ENSO state as neutral, with neither an El Niño or La Niña prevailing. In an ENSO analysis and outlook released November 16, 2005, the International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI) projected that, "Based on the latest observations and forecasts, it is virtually certain that neutral conditions will prevail over the Nov-Dec-Jan 2005-2006 season." However, some other research suggests that a weak to moderate La Nina this Winter is not out of the question.
When equatorial conditions are neutral, ENSO usually does not play a leading role in our Winter weather. Other factors, such as the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO), can become important. While an El Niño (or La Niña) might last for one or two rain seasons, multiple MJO's can occur over just one rain season. A recurring MJO can lead to periods of west coast precipitation and heavy rain events. So far this Fall the MJO has been like a car that almost - but- does - not - quite - start, then starts and stalls. Current forecasts suggest the MJO will remain weak for the next 6 to 10 days.
The most recent NOAA and IRI precipitation projections depict an "equal chance" of a dry, average, or wet Winter in Southern California. Some forecast tools, such as the CFS Forecast of Seasonal Climate Anomalies, and experimental NASA research suggest a drier than average Winter for our area. In the shorter term, today's Climate Prediction Center 6-10 day and 8-14 day precipitation outlooks project below average precipitation for Southern California.

River Notes for Monday, November 28, 2005
Important information about River Notes.
A low pressure system, at the surface and aloft, is moving into the Pacific Northwest today with a split upper flow over the mid-Pacific. The southern branch of the split is entraining moisture from the sub-tropics and feeding it into the west-northwesterly flow associated with the upper trough in the northern branch. This is resulting in rain and snow in Northern California, with snow as far south as Mammoth. The HPC 3 day precipitation forecast issued at noon today (Monday) shows up to 6 inches (water equivalent) of precipitation in the Northern Sierra from this afternoon through Thursday afternoon.
As the pattern evolves this week, there is a possibility the focus of the westerlies will shift southward, with phasing of the northern and southern streams and continued entrainment of moisture from around 20° N. This could produce heavy, orographically enhanced snowfall at higher elevations of the Central, and perhaps, Southern Sierra. We'll see!

River Notes for Thursday, November 10, 2005
Important information about River Notes.
The GFS won the battle of the computer weather models this round, but some snow did fall at the higher elevations of the Sierra. This Flash animation shows the snow cover on 11/05/05 and then 11/09/05. Mammoth got about 11 inches of snow out of the storm and opened today on a combined base of 12 - 18 inches. Winter is here!

Neutral ENSO conditions continue in the equatorial Pacific and the majority of outlooks say this is more or less what we should expect the next few months. When conditions are neutral, ENSO is not likely to play a leading role in our Winter weather. Other factors, such as the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO), can become important. While an El Niño might last for one or two rain seasons, multiple MJO's can occur over just one rain season. A recurring MJO can lead to periods of west coast precipitation and heavy rain events.

Looking to do some Fall paddling? The flows on the Lower Kern, Kern below Democrat, and Kern below Rio Bravo are the best they have been in years. According to SCE, as a result of tunnel maintenance, no water is being diverted at Democrat Dam. This increases the "usual" flow between Democrat Dam and the KR1 powerplant by about 400 cfs and should extend the season on that reach. This morning the flow below Democrat Dam was reported at about 790 cfs.

River Notes for Monday, November 7, 2005
Important information about River Notes.
Computer models have been having a hard time getting a handle on the system moving into Northern California today. One reason is that the system is forecast to split, with a cut-off upper low forming off of Pt. Conception. Just how far off shore is the tough question, and the one that is key to the forecast.
The latest forecasts indicate there's at least a chance of low elevation rain and high elevation snow developing in the Southern Sierra over the next 24-48 hours. The NAM computer model has been bullish on the storm, forecasting about 2 inches of precipitation in the northern reaches of the Kern River basin. The GFS has been (much) more pessimistic. Whatever happens, expect the snow level to start out high enough that if it does rain, we might see a bump in the flow on the Upper Kern. We'll see.
