The media has been going big on potential disasters in California.
Desperately, California reservoir managers have been dumping water in a race to prevent reservoirs from being overtopped and potentially damaged as temperatures warm.
An incipient Big Chill is about to reduce the Big Melt to tolerable levels.
Using the European Center ensemble prediction system, the best in the world, here are the predicted differences from normal of surface air temperatures around California for the next week.
No heatwave there, with temperatures most nights dropping into the 20s and many days only getting into the lower 40s. The National Weather Service's extended temperature forecast for the entire month of May from their GFS model is for substantially cooler than normal over California.
So let's give this a name: The California Big Chill.
One thing is clear: the political "Leadership" in California has been deeply irresponsible during the past decades by not adding more reservoir capacity.
