Published Tue, 19 Nov 2024 04:26:29 GMT

Californians desperate for a break in the rain will find a glimmer of hope in a new forecast released Thursday by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Climate Prediction Center. The outlook for the month of April leans toward below-average chances of rain and snow for the state. But don't put away your umbrellas just yet – there are a few caveats to mention. First off, there's more rain in store before we even get to April. The next 10 days are likely to be very wet, as there's already another atmospheric river lurking off the coast and heading our way.(Map: NOAA)Next week's atmospheric river will probably peak Tuesday or Wednesday, National Weather Service meteorologist Dalton Behringer said. It's too soon to say exactly which part of the state will be hardest hit, but state climatologist Michael Anderson said earlier this week that the storm's impact zone could stretch from the Bay Area to San Diego.Once that storm passes, things are looking a bit drier, as i...

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Inside his humble community college dorm room in Lake City, Florida, about as land-locked of a location as it gets in the state, midway between Jacksonville and Tallahassee, Roberto Pérez learned to swear.The room, which he shared with a teammate on the college’s pitching staff, was where Pérez found himself in 2006, after being drafted by Dodgers out of high school in Puerto Rico but opting not to sign. Just 17 years old, Pérez didn’t know a lick of English, despite courses in school, and knew that to achieve his goal — catching in the big leagues — communication was going to be essential.“I really wanted to go to college and test myself,” Pérez said. “Instead of rooming with a Latin player, I chose to room with an American guy. He would talk to me in English and I would talk to him in Spanish. We kind of helped each other out. I didn’t know at first what he was saying, but I got used to it. I would talk by pointing at things.”...

Former San Jose Mayor Tom McEnery’s play, “A Statue for Ballybunion,” is all set for its San Jose Playhouse premiere at 3Below Theaters in downtown San Jose tonight  — just a day short of the third anniversary of when it was originally supposed to debut.The comedy play was on the cusp of its U.S. premiere on St. Patrick’s Day in 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic shut it down during rehearsals just days before opening night.
