  • Atmospheric river to soak Southern California, Southwest

    Atmospheric river to soak Southern California, Southwest

    Following a delayed start to the wet season in fire-ravaged California, the switch has been turned on as a series of storms continues to douse the Golden State. Soon after a storm over Northern and Central California winds down, a new plume of moisture, or an atmospheric river, will unleash heavy rain and high country snow over Southern California to the interior Southwest at midweek.

    The storm is not expected to unleash the equivalent of the late-November blast of rain and snow; however, it is likely to cause travel disruptions in many locations and perhaps more serious problems in others.

    Snow levels are forecast to be rather high in Southern California, so motorists should not have to contend with winter conditions over Tejon and Cajon passes this time around.

    Snowfall with the storm from Tuesday night to Wednesday night will generally be limited to elevations above 6,500 feet over much of Southern California and Arizona but can dip to 5,500 feet over the southern part of the Sierra Nevada, where 1-2 feet of snow is in store.

    High snow levels can present a problem following a heavy snowfall, according to AccuWeather Meteorologist Randy Adkins.

    “The higher snow levels throughout the region will mean that rain will eat into some of the snowfall over the intermediate elevations in Southern California and Arizona in particular,” Adkins said.

    The combination of rain, rising temperatures and melting snow can lead to flooding along some the small streams and short-run rivers flowing out of the mountains.

    A general rainfall of 1-2 inches is forecast to fall in about 24 hours over coastal Southern California with 0.50 of an inch to 1 inch over the deserts.

    Heavier rainfall is expected over the mountains. An AccuWeather Local StormMax™ of 4 inches can occur in the south- and west-facing slopes of the San Gabriel Mountains.

    This is enough rain to cause localized flash flooding in desert and urban areas.

    Motorists should expect delays due to drenching rain, excess water on the roads and poor visibility for the Wednesday morning rush hour in the Los Angeles and San Diego areas.

    The bulk of the rain will fall on Las Vegas during Wednesday afternoon and evening with the wettest part of the storm due to be Wednesday night around Phoenix.

    AccuWeather meteorologists warn that you should never attempt to drive through flooded areas as the water may be much deeper than it appears. A foot of flowing water can cause lightweight vehicles to lose traction and can swiftly carry them downstream into deeper water. Flowing water can also disguise a roadway that has been washed away.

    Tragedy struck in Arizona over the Thanksgiving holiday as a truck with young children as passengers was swept away while attempting to cross a stream.

    Since the last rainstorm was only a few days earlier, some of the hillsides may quickly become unstable with a fresh dose of drenching rain. As a result, the potential for mudslides and other debris flows may be higher with this storm, compared to that of last week. This is especially the case for burn scar locations, but the threat will not be limited to fire-charred areas.

    Meanwhile, the system moving through is potent enough to produce a few thunderstorms, some of which may be capable of spawning small hail and gusty winds.

    The region will get a break from storms during the latter part of this week. However, a new storm forecast to roll ashore in Northern California and the Northwest is likely to bring showers this weekend.

  • WR Keenan Allen, CB Chris Harris Jr. Resume Rivalry

    WR Keenan Allen, CB Chris Harris Jr. Resume Rivalry

    DENVER (AP) _ Keenan Allen enjoys dissing Chris Harris Jr., who relishes dismissing Keenan Allen.

    Their rivalry provides one of the more intriguing plot lines Sunday when the bumbling Los Angeles Chargers (4-7) visit the bungling Denver Broncos (3-8) in a matchup of AFC West also-rans.

    Denver’s star cornerback was primarily responsible for checkmating the Chargers’ star wideout last time the teams met in Week 5, when Harris helped hold the league’s top receiver at the time to 18 yards on four catches in a 20-13 Broncos victory.

    Afterward, Allen voiced his displeasure over his stat line on social media, commenting on an Instagram post of a Chris Harris Jr. fan account: “Now, y’all know damn well that boy can’t hold my jockstrap. Stop it.“

    Allen confirmed those comments in the locker room later that week, suggesting reporters “just watch the tape“ for proof.

    That tape showed Allen held in check, catching four of the six passes Philip Rivers threw him that day, when the Chargers failed to score an offensive touchdown.

    Harris brushed aside Allen’s disrespect with a shrug, suggesting he had no idea what Allen was talking about.

    “I’ve locked him up numerous times. I don’t even know how many times I’ve shut him down,“ Harris said back in October. “There’s nothing to really talk about with him. I’m ready for Tyreek Hill.“

    The episode was raised again this week ahead of the rivals’ rematch, and Harris again threw shade on his opponent who belittled the Broncos’ last-second 23-22 win in Los Angeles last year by proclaiming, “They suck.“

    “It’s always different when we play the Chargers,“ Harris said. “It’s a rivalry game. Of course, he was talking a lot of mash last game, so everybody is going to be tuning into our matchup. But it’s about the team. We’ve got to go out there and prepare as a team, have a great preparation this week and get ready for Rivers.“

    Other subplots in the 121st edition of the AFC West rivalry:

    QUARTERBACK COMPETITION

    Rookie Drew Lock shared snaps with fill-in quarterback Brandon Allen at practice during the week following Allen’s poor performance at Buffalo, where he completed 10 passes for 84 yards in a 20-3 loss. Allen replaced Joe Flacco (neck) at the season’s midpoint, becoming Denver’s sixth starting quarterback since Peyton Manning’s retirement in 2016. The Broncos’ 134 yards of total offense were the lowest in the NFL in 26 years.

    REINFORCEMENTS READY

    The Chargers are finally getting things together at safety, where Adrian Phillips has been out since breaking his right forearm during the fourth quarter of a Week 2 loss at Detroit. Derwin James sustained a stress fracture in his right foot during joint practices with the New Orleans Saints on Aug. 15. Despite not having James and Phillips for most of the year, the Chargers are fifth in the league in defense and fourth against the pass.

    ROCKY RIVERS

    Rivers has thrown seven interceptions in his last two games, the worst slump of his 16-year career. Rivers had the ball and a chance to avoid defeats in both games, a 26-24 loss at Oakland and a 24-17 loss to the Chiefs in Mexico City. Both times he ended the Chargers’ chances with interceptions. Safeties Karl Joseph of the Raiders and Daniel Sorensen of the Chiefs both picked him off in the final half-minute.

    MILLER TIME OFF

    Von Miller limped out of Buffalo, but Broncos coach Vic Fangio insisted it was nothing major. Miller appeared to prove that point by frolicking in the frosty weather Tuesday. He was shirtless and in shorts as he walked across the players’ parking lot to the weight room despite a storm that dumped more than a foot of snow. Then he flexed into the reflective glass. However, Miller did miss his second Wednesday workout this season.

    MIDDLE MAN

    Broncos inside linebacker Alexander Johnson’s debut against the Chargers in Week 5 featured two pass breakups, an interception and eight stops. He now has 61 tackles, including a career-best 15 at Buffalo last week.

    “Every week you can see him picking up the scheme better and better and learning his assignment and his job,“ safety Justin Simmons said. “He’s playing fast and physical. … He causes so much gray area for the quarterback that it makes our job that much easier in the back end.“

  • Broncos increase QB Drew Lock’s workload, no decision yet

    Broncos increase QB Drew Lock’s workload, no decision yet

    ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) _ Drew Lock wants to show Denver Broncos general manager John Elway he doesn’t have to go looking at the likes of Joe Burrow, Tua Tagovailoa, Justin Herbert, Jake Fromm, Jacob Eason or any of the other quarterback prospects in the 2020 NFL draft.

    First, he’ll have to show coach Vic Fangio he’s better than Brandon Allen.

    “I want to try to build this into something special for sure,” Lock said Wednesday when Fangio announced the Broncos were upping the rookie’s snaps at practice in preparation for his possible debut Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers.

    “I want to be able to give the confidence every single week to my teammates and to the people upstairs that if we ride this into the offseason after these however many games it takes until I get started, then we’re going to have an awesome offseason coming into next season. Hopefully, I end up being here for a long time.”

    Fangio said Lock, a second-round pick from Missouri who has been on IR all season, will take 75% of the snaps, with Allen taking the rest.

    He’ll base his choice on how both do at practice, “but mainly how Drew does,” Fangio said.

    Fangio said he wasn’t sure when he’d make the call, “potentially right up to the game.”

    The Broncos (3-8) turned to Allen when Joe Flacco (neck) went on IR at midseason. He won his first start against Cleveland but has lost at Minnesota and Buffalo, where he threw for just 84 yards in a 20-3 loss Sunday.

    That poor performance ignited speculation that Lock would finally get his chance despite having practiced only seven times.

    Lock sprained his right thumb in the preseason and the Broncos brought him back to practice Nov. 12, starting a three-week evaluation window, after which they’ll have to activate him or banish him from practice until the spring.

    “It gets to the point where you can’t take not doing anything anymore,” Lock said.

    He said he initially was crestfallen when he had to go on IR but came to see it as a blessing.

    “I like to think that everything happens for a reason,” Lock said. “At the beginning of that I was very lost, didn’t know why this was happening. I was super excited to get into the NFL. Then to have that injury happen, it was pretty upsetting.”

    But he was able to sit back and things began to slow down.

    “I got to be on my own, learning the way I knew I had time to learn. I wasn’t worried about getting on the field playing. I could kind of focus on what it is I felt like I need to be better at,” Lock said. “And it’s time to find out what it’s going to do for me.“

  • ACCUWEATHER METEOROLOGISTS PROVIDE UPDATE ON RAIN AND SNOW HEADED TOWARD WEST COAST

    ACCUWEATHER METEOROLOGISTS PROVIDE UPDATE ON RAIN AND SNOW HEADED TOWARD WEST COAST

    Soon after the ‘bomb cyclone’ pushes east of the Rockies, a new storm will approach the West Coast of the United States this weekend to set the stage for more rounds of heavy rain and mountain snow in California.

    The storm will hinder return trips from Thanksgiving vacation as well as the resumption of daily commutes next week.

    The weather setup will make the ignition of wildfires unlikely and may even put an end to the risk through the rest of the year. However, enough rain can fall to unleash urban flooding and lead to debris flows in recent burn scar locations, including the Kincade Fire that burned over 77,000 acres in Sonoma County, California, earlier this autumn.

    While the heavy mountain snow anticipated will be a further boon for ski interests, snow and slippery driving conditions are likely at Donner Pass along Interstate 80 from Saturday afternoon into Monday night.

    A storm at the jet stream level of the atmosphere is forecast to hover just off the California coast later this weekend to early next week. The configuration will create a plume of tropical moisture from the Pacific Ocean to Northern California beginning late Saturday night.

    “This persistent plume, sometimes referred to as an ‘atmospheric river,’ will bring copious amounts of rain to coastal and low elevations and a great deal of snow to the Sierra Nevada of Northern California,” said AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Brett Anderson.

    About 3-6 inches of rain can fall over the lower elevations of Northern California during the early to middle part of next week. However, an AccuWeather Local StormMax™ of 10 inches can occur on the southwest-facing slopes of the Coast Ranges and hills of the Sierra Nevada.

    Meanwhile, over in the high country, 3-6 feet of snow can fall from later this weekend to early next week.

    “It is possible that Southern California catches an episode or two of heavy rain and mountain snow as well,” Anderson said.

  • Thanksgiving Do’s and Don’ts from Emergency Physicians

    Thanksgiving Do’s and Don’ts from Emergency Physicians

    Washington, DC—The American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) urges everyone to be safe this holiday season. A few safety tips will go a long way toward making sure your holiday is safe and fun. 

    “Preparation, organization and common sense are the most important ingredients in the recipe for a safe and fun Thanksgiving,” said William Jaquis, MD, FACEP, president of ACEP. “Do your part to make sure you can spend the holiday with friends and loved ones instead of the emergency department. But, rest assured that an emergency physician will be there for you anytime an emergency occurs, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, even on holidays.”

    Practice safe cooking techniques. Watch temperature levels, read instructions, make sure ovens are functioning properly. Unsafe handling or undercooking food can lead to illness, such as salmonella. Thaw turkey properly before cooking at a minimum of 325 degrees Fahrenheit to avoid health issues. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) discourages thawing turkey by leaving it on the countertop, which can cause bacteria growth. If thawing by leaving the turkey in the refrigerator, allow 24 hours for every five pounds of weight. The US Department of Agriculture says that leftovers are good for three to four days, if refrigerated. Make sure you wash your hands, cook on a clean surface and avoid cross-contamination with raw meats or other food that requires safe handling.

    Supervise children in the kitchen. Accidents happen when kids can grab sharp knives or touch hot pots on the stove. Every day 300 children are treated in emergency departments for burn-related injuries, according to Safe Kids Worldwide. Burns and scalds remain the number one cause of unintentional injury in children ages 0-5.

    Don’t leave food cooking unattended, home fires often start in the kitchen. Take your time to avoid slips or falls and reduce the number of safety hazards in crowded areas. Don’t leave candles burning if you are not in the room and don’t light candles near open windows. 

    Celebrate responsibly. Enjoy the festivities in moderation. Overeating can cause stomach issues or more serious health problems for patients with chronic conditions, such as diabetes. If alcohol is being served, please do not drink and drive. Thanksgiving is one of the heaviest traffic days of the year. If weather is bad, allow plenty of travel time. Make sure your vehicle has an up-to-date safety kit. And, try to stay calm.

  • Handle and prepare foods properly to avoid getting sick this holiday season

    Handle and prepare foods properly to avoid getting sick this holiday season

    Denver: As the holidays get closer, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment reminds Coloradans to follow some simple food safety tips so their holiday feast doesn’t turn into a holiday fiasco.

    “The most frequent causes of food borne illnesses are from foods kept at unsafe temperatures, inadequate hand washing, inappropriate food handling, and preparing and serving foods on soiled services or with contaminated utensils,” said Troy Huffman, retail food program coordinator at Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. “Other causes include cooking foods such as eggs, poultry and meats below the proper temperature. By following some simple food safety guidelines, holiday parties and meals will be safe and enjoyable for all.”

    Here are some basic tips:

    Cool all leftovers: Leftovers should be cooled to 41 degrees F or lower within four hours after cooking. Do not leave foods containing meat, dairy, eggs, fish or poultry at room temperature. This includes casseroles and pumpkin or other custard pies that are popular during the holidays.

    Wash hands: Use with soap and warm water before food preparation and after using the bathroom, changing diapers, sneezing, coughing, eating, drinking, or smoking. Also, wash hands after handling raw meat, eggs, fish, or poultry.

    Don’t cross-contaminate: Bacteria can spread throughout the kitchen and get onto cutting boards, knives, sponges and countertops. Minimize cross-contamination risks by thoroughly cleaning and sanitizing knives, cutting boards, and other utensils, particularly between the preparation of raw meat and foods that will not be further cooked. Using a commercially prepared sanitizing wipe can be an easy and quick cleaning alternative to help minimize cross-contamination.

    Cooking Temperatures: Buy a cooking thermometer, and use it properly. The thermometer should be placed in the thickest part of the food and don’t let it touch bone, fat, or gristle. Turkey and stuffing should be cooked separately to 165 F and ham to 145 F before serving. Recipes with eggs must be cooked thoroughly to 155 F or above. If egg dishes do not require cooking, such as homemade eggnog or salad dressing, use pasteurized egg products instead of shelled eggs.

    Thaw Foods Properly: Do not thaw foods at room temperature. Plan enough time to thaw food in the refrigerator, placing thawing items on a tray to catch any juices that may leak from the packaging to avoid cross-contamination of other foods.

     The number of days a frozen turkey takes to thaw in a refrigerator depends on the size. A turkey 4-12 pounds takes one to three days to thaw; 12-16 pounds takes three to four days; 16-20 pounds takes four to five days; and 20-24 pounds takes five to six days.

     If you’re ill: When you’re not feeling well, do not prepare or handle foods.

  • CSU’s Ag Innovation Summit returns to campus, Dec. 5 and 6

    CSU’s Ag Innovation Summit returns to campus, Dec. 5 and 6

    The fourth annual Ag Innovation Summit returns to Colorado State University Dec. 5 and 6 at the Lory Student Center. Since its inaugural debut in 2015, the summit has brought together a diverse range of perspectives from higher education, industry and government to catalyze momentum and spark conversations about the future of agriculture. This year, the summit will focus on the theme, “Building the Innovation Mindset.”

    The event is ticketed, and registration can be found here.

    Innovation in Agriculture

    “This year, we wanted to broaden the conversation around innovation beyond strictly technology to include the science of organizations—how we can be innovative in building processes, teams and cultures for transformative results,” said Paula Mills, who organizes the annual summit. “One way innovation shows up this year is in diversity and inclusion, one of the core values of the college’s strategic plan. Incorporating a variety of perspectives in our decision-making is not only the right thing to do, but it makes good business sense.”

    This year, the event features two keynote speakers: Saswati Bora, head of food systems innovation for the World Economic Forum, and Robb Fraley, former executive vice president and chief technology officer for Monsanto Company.

    As the head of food systems innovation at the World Economic Forum, Bora leads a global initiative to leverage technology and innovations to address food systems challenges. In that capacity, she is also responsible for content development, partnership facilitation and program development on food systems transformation. Speaking at the summit on Thursday, Bora will address global forces—including macroeconomic, environmental, political, social, technological and financial—that are demanding a relentless focus on innovation in agriculture.

    Fraley, who speaks on Friday, led a team of agricultural scientists at Monsanto that were dedicated to developing seeds and solutions that help farmers around the world yield a more abundant, affordable, and sustainable food supply. His keynote will focus on the importance of disruptive thinking and technologies as it relates to a successful future for global agriculture.

    Additionally, a wealth of panels featuring a diverse range of people, perspectives and experiences fill out this year’s summit. Highlights include:

    • Polly Ruhland of the United Soybean Board, a CSU alumna, who will discuss the opportunity of using agriculture as a teaching tool to expose more kids to STEM;
    • Quentin Tyler, the associate dean and director for diversity, equity and inclusion at Michigan State University’s College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, will join a panel on leveraging diversity as a catalyst for innovation;
    • Florian Schattenmann, vice president for research and development at Cargill, will join a leadership roundtable on the defining principles of perennial innovators;
    • Candace Laing, vice president of sustainability and stakeholder relations at Nutrien, will be featured on the final industry panel and will explore innovation for resilient food systems.

    Select female leaders from the summit program will reprise their roles as panelists at a networking event on Friday evening, where they’ll share wisdom from their leadership journey with students.

    Sesquicentennial Colloquium Series

    As Colorado State University celebrates its 150th anniversary, the 2019 Ag Innovation Summit is officially part of the university’s Sesquicentennial Colloquium Series. This will be the fourth installment in the series.

    Steamboat Resort, Gondola Shut Down.

    STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) _ The new gondola at Steamboat Resort in northern Colorado has been shut down because of a mechanical malfunction.

    The Steamboat Pilot & Today reports that with a busy holiday week ahead, crews were working to repair the gondola, but a timeline for its reopening was not immediately known. The resort has opened the Thunderhead Express for guests to access the open terrain.

    Steamboat Ski & Resort Corp. digital communications manager Maren Franciosi says the new gondola fully opened to the public last Saturday but then was shut down at about 4:45 p.m. Sunday

    The malfunction occurred on the drive line to the gear box in the upper terminal.

    There were no guests on the gondola at the time it stopped working.
