Today, we joined @usbr to sign agreements to protect the CO River Basin & conserve up to 1.6M acre-feet of water in Lake Mead. This effort opens the door to improved future water management. We project our piece in this will save ~$15M for SD County to combat water rate pressure.

An incoming storm will ring in the new week. 🌦️⛷️ Look for rain and mountain snow from Sunday-Tuesday morning. It will also be very windy in the mountains and deserts! Travel through the #SoCal mountains could get downright treacherous! (Bring an emergency road kit) #CAwx

The latest significant wave height analysis maintains a 45 ft max sw of the low center where hurricane force winds are located. The small red numbers on the bottom right of the surface plots are seas from ship and buoys - i.e., buoy 46006 (41N138W) was 18 ft at 18z. #MarineWx
