As the California heatwave slowly fades, a fairly dramatic change in the pattern now appears increasingly likely over the coming weekend into next week. An early-season trough may "phase" with the remnants of Hurricane Rachel, drawing it more directly into SoCal. [Short thread]

Just did some number crunching using latest (Oct 1) ECMWF seasonal data, and I must say that I've never seen such high predictive confidence in a very wet California winter. This is a truly extraordinary forecast amid a record-strength El Niño event. [Thread: please read to end.]

Warning of a prolonged late‑season California heat wave: text and color maps show major-to-extreme heat risk concentrated in Southern California and the Central Valley with peak temperatures in the 100s and safety guidance to stay hydrated and use cooling.

On Boston marriage, 1894

BOSTON MARRIAGE

What the Scarcity of Men in Massachusetts Has Brought About

The funniest of all social developments is that which goes under the head of Boston marriages. Two women, as well known as Susan Channing and Edna D. Cheney, have made separate appeals for this new departure of female habit, and have defended it with considerable success.

A Boston marriage is described to be a sympathetic union of two women, who have not been able to make good and agreeable matches with members of the opposite sex. Miss Cheney is of the opinion that in our present state of civilization they seem to be necessary and should not be interfered with. Miss

--The Evening Herald, 21 Feb 1894

Channing also believes that since in our present state of civilization marriage like wealth is getting to be more and more the privilege of the few, the women unsought in wedlock or unable to get the men of their choice should have the right to form sympathetic unions with each other.

What is to hinder a Boston couple from adopting a child or even more than one? Why not grow a household in this manner? The meanest thing about old-maid life is that it takes to cats, or parrots, or poodles -- generally cats. I see no reason why a cat shall not have a share of sympathy but it has no claim upon a love it cannot appreciate. Besides, cat-love is a dreadful

apology for baby-love. By all means let our Bostonese adopt children. In this way, while there is no increase of children, there will be a decrease of homeless children.

I think our world has become more disconnected because of phones, but not just because of social media. With a phone in everyone’s hands there’s no need to ask for directions, or where to eat in town. No need to stop and help someone broken down on a highway. They have a phone; they’ll call someone.

In fact, the odds of "more than trivial" amounts of rain in SoCal are now around 50%! And there is a real chance of genuinely heavy rainfall and thunderstorms that could potentially cause flooding (~20-25%!). But there's also around a 20-25% chance of no rain at all.

Plot from weathermodels.com showing predicted precipitation for a point near LAX across the full ECMWF ensemble. 40-50% of members now suggest the potential for significant precipitation this weekend, though some remain completely dry and around 30% indicate only light showers.
