The 48 hour accumulated precipitation estimates look to be very light for most of our region. If we see any measurable rainfall it will be across portions of Coos and Douglas counties.

Looking across the northeast Pacific we see two strong areas of low pressure developing in the open waters. These lows will track to the northeast toward Alaska. High pressure will force most of the energy north of our region. There are signs late next week the storm door will reopen.

💥🧬 Why sequence ALL insect genomes?
Because insects run the planet. They pollinate our crops, recycle nutrients, build soils, drive food webs, and shape ecosystems on every continent. 🌍
Yet we’ve only scratched the surface of their genomic diversity.
