The primary focus of today's briefing is the current weather conditions across the United States, particularly the anticipated storm system that is expected to bring substantial precipitation to California and the Pacific Northwest. I report that there are no active tropical cyclones in either the Atlantic or Pacific basins, nor is any formation expected in the forthcoming week. Additionally, wildfire activity remains low nationally, with only a significant incident reported in Arizona, where the Stanford Fire continues to be monitored. Furthermore, I highlight the establishment of resource centers in Alaska to assist survivors of recent storms, underscoring the ongoing recovery efforts in affected areas. As we assess the current seismic activity, I note that no damaging earthquakes have been reported, reflecting a period of relative stability in that regard.
