Microcurriculum at and changing patterns and unseasonable storms. Go behind the scenes with abc experienced weather team and learn about what makes our weather unique. Abc news presents inside bay area weather. Sandhya patel, news meteorologist. Really the bay area has many microcurriculums, in the summertime you can have microclimates. And fog comes along the coastline and only 56 degrees. But you get inland into the Livermore Valley and livermore is 102. We are talking about a wide range of conditions. Every day to nail it down to the exact temperature you are forecasting is challenging. Mike nicco, abc news meteorologist. Our microclaim at are changing. Our. It has to do with really the microclimates. Spencer christian, abc news weather. A typical winter extreme would be several consecutive days of heavy rain that would produce rain and mudslides and road closures. Power outages. One of the most recent storms we had 200 lightning strikes. Over the last decades. I dont remember the lightning storms to be intense. The extremity is taking an upturn, we go back to the four storms in seven days, it was unprecedented. They havent seen that much rain in that over a sevenday period. Back in december of 1995, it was a ten on the bay area storm index. Its one that was recorded in 36 years now. With that storm, we saw wind gusts up to 93 miles an hour. Wind gusts around the peaks over hundred miles an hour. They blow down trees and you have flooding. You have all those impacts. Lisa argen, abc news meteorologist. Are we seen these earlier storms and wetter storms is that the new normal . I think were having a new normal. I absolutely do. Its not as hot in the summer as it usually is. Its not as cold. In the winter months as it has been in the past. Think were seeing a new normal. Every ten years well go back and get the data and they have been trending warmer for the bay area. I think that is the nay normal. The weather conferences have provided proof of the glaciers and the temperatures rising, not just in one location but around the country.

I have to say one of the best tools we have at abc7 is live doppler 7hd. Leigh glaser, abc news meteorologist. Whether i am out in the field reporting on weather, it is spot on. It is spot on. It is so reliable, its accurate. Live doppler 7, its on mount st. Helena. It is farther west than any other bay area radar. With the radar its location and location and location. Having ours in the north and farther to the west is going to help us see the storms or coming in from the north or west. Well be able to see them quicker. Logan johnson, National Weather service. Ours is located near san jose so it doesnt cover the north bay so we use your radar as a key piece of puzzle to understand what is going to. What Doppler Radar generally it detects motion and the movement of systems that produce precipitation and intensity and the direction. The speed at which it is moving. All these things is what Doppler Radar does. To go down to street level to what is happening right in the neighborhood. You can say there is going from elm street to oak street in five minutes. That is the biggest advantage of having where we have it. Think of the lead time you are going to get to see a storm coming in. That is getting people prepared. Ill never forget this woman who was in mill valley. I was out there reporting on a landslide there. Her home devastated. Everything she has ever had gone. She came up to me and she said thank you. She said your forecast, abc7s forecast being able to let me know days in advance, she was able to get her most precious things out of there and because we were able to give her that forecast.
