From ‘May Gray’ to ‘June Gloom’: Scientists explain our weird weather in the Bay Area

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:18:46 GMT

RIP Springtime (April 27, 2023 – April 27, 2023).After a historically hard winter and then a momentary hot spell, summer fog is already blanketing the coastal Bay Area, a dreary pattern that is expected to persist through the next week. And beyond.“It’s covering the Bay every morning, and some of it has gotten into the Delta,” said meteorologist Jan Null of Golden Gate Weather Services in Half Moon Bay, which enjoyed only one fog-free sunset all month.“This is a year where that summer pattern is setting up early,” he said.To be sure, Memorial Day weekend is always a melancholy holiday, honoring the tragic loss of young lives alongside picnics and barbeques. So our weather is striking an appropriate tone.Beachgoers at Point Reyes National Seashore sat bundled in jackets and sheltered between dunes. Only a few people braved bathing suits, and all were children.A lone fisherman tries his luck under a heavy marine layer hanging over Mussel Rock Beach in Daly City, Calif., Th...

Consumer seafood guide advises people to avoid Chesapeake Bay oysters. But why?

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:18:46 GMT

The Chesapeake Bay oyster population has been flourishing over the last few years, but a California based seafood guide disagrees. Seafood Watch, a well-known consumer guide about sustainable seafood, has released its latest draft and is telling people to avoid eating wild caught oysters that come from the Bay.A look at the draft shows the bay as being overfished and poorly managed, adding “current abundance levels in the Chesapeake Bay overall are still low. As a result, Seafood Watch deems eastern oyster abundance in Virginia as a ‘high’ concern.”WTOP has reached out to the organization behind the report for comment.The Monterey Bay Aquarium is behind the guide, but declined a request for comment from the Bay Journal about the rating, saying the draft assessment may change, depending on public comment.The public comment period ended last week.The findings have led to some criticism from the local industry.

Liverpool and Southampton draw 4-4 in wild season finale

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:18:46 GMT

SOUTHAMPTON, England (AP) — Goals from Cody Gakpo and Diogo Jota salvaged a 4-4 draw for Liverpool at Southampton in the Premier League on Sunday as the Merseyside club’s season ended in wild circumstances. Jurgen Klopp’s team had blown a two-goal lead at St Mary’s before coming back from 4-2 down to scramble a point. Gakpo and Jota both struck in the space of a minute of each other to ensure a disappointing campaign for Liverpool at least did not end in defeat. Klopp’s side has endured a troubled season that has seen it miss out on qualification for the Champions League for the first time since 2016. But there have been clear signs of improvement in recent weeks, with Liverpool heading into Sunday’s match on the back of a 10-game unbeaten streak. The visitors were 2-0 up after goals from Jota in the 10th minute and Roberto Firmino in the 14th. James Ward-Prowse — who was potentially making his final Southampton appearance — halved the deficit in the 19...

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Felix Rosenqvist of Arrow McLaren Racing was the leader at the halfway point of the Indianapolis 500 on Sunday and Katherine Legge, the only woman in the field, was first driver eliminated from “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.”Race favorite Alex Palou started from the pole and led 36 of the first 100 laps. The Spaniard easily had one of the best cars in the race, but he was crashed into by Rinus VeeKay when the cars were trying to exit pit road.Palou’s Chip Ganassi Racing team had to run to push his car back to the stall and he needed a new front wing. Palou dropped to 26th at the halfway point and VeeKay received a penalty for avoidable contact.The crash on Lap 95 occurred during full-field pit stops under the first caution, caused three laps earlier by rookie Sting Ray Robb, who had a rough month at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. He crashed along with his Dale Coyne Racing teammate on the opening lap of the road course race at Indy and then struggled to e...

Man City ends title-winning campaign with 1-0 loss at Brentford in Premier League

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:18:46 GMT

LONDON (AP) — Premier League champion Manchester City lost its final game of the campaign as Ethan Pinnock’s late goal earned Brentford a 1-0 win and a home-and-away double over Pep Guardiola’s team on Sunday.The center back celebrated signing a new four-year contract earlier in the day by scoring an 85th-minute winner.With the title sewn up last weekend, Guardiola rested some of his big hitters ahead of next weekend’s FA Cup final. The Champions League final is seven days later for City.With Kevin De Bruyne and Jack Grealish missing completely and Erling Haaland left on the bench, it was a scratch City side and those established stars who did play, like Phil Foden and Riyad Mahrez, had little impact.Brentford still had something to play for, by contrast, as the team was in with a slim chance of qualifying for the Europa Conference League before wins for Tottenham and Aston Villa ultimately wrecked those hopes.The home players applauded the champions onto the field, but ...
