they did was temporarily stun each other in the western pacific. thinking about what is next, whether each side should increase pressure, escalate vertically, or find an off ramp to de-escalate are things we should be devoting energy into thinking about what happens after the first move. again, it is easier to get into a conflict relatively speaking but much harder to get out of it. what are the conditions one can sa satsfactory end the deadly war. what does this mean for the united states? here i would go back to some of the research i have done and arguments i have made in recent years which is we need to think a symmetrically. v vulnerabilities and weaknesses that the chinese cannot repair without a tremendous emount of resources dedicated to fixing those vulnerabilities. there are the few things we should think about. one asymmetrical response is the oprationale one. the notion of imposing cost on china. special -- essentially turning the table and threatening to deny access and things they would need to achieve their operational and strategic

this causes drought in the western pacific often have a seafood shortage during an el nino pattern. this is because the warm water in the eastern pacific prevents nutrient-rich deep water from coming to the surface that fish thrive upon. so in addition to the changes in our weather, we also have changes to our seafood prices! a historically strong el nino occurred in 1997, which is shown here where red indicates warm water in the eastern pacific. you may remember comedian chris farley doing his impersonation of el nino from 1997 on saturday night live. the image on the other side of the screen is the warming in the eastern pacific from 2015. while it may not be quite as strong as 1997, it's very close. but what does all is mean for our weather? well, when an el nino pattern is in place along the equator, it causes the polar jet stream to go keeps the cold air cked away in canada, and the northern us stays dry, with pockets of and west of pushes the pacific jet stream through california and the southern u.s. storms tend to follow along the jet stream, so that's lot about the recent we

out of the western pacific. and there inlies the detail. there in lies where we begin to talk about the the parallel it is between imperial japan an rise in china. because if you look at -- to me it's like fascinating, if you take the proposition that china basically is a expansion of power. revision of power as john mereshimer would say and seek to take territory from their neighbors and you look at the map and chest board there's not a lot of difference on eve of pearl harbor and china's vision. i mean, look at impearl japan that controls the korean peninsula and taiwan and controlled much much -- much of china, it was their vessyl and on the eve of pearl harbor, there are armies and military were with to drive the british out of o hong kong, drive u.s. out of the philippines. drive the dutch out of west indies. so east indies. so if you look at china, it puzzles me why americans think they're not a threat because china has made it clear. they claim 80% of this south china sea here -- in the film talks about how preposterous like mexico c

but storm number 11 is barreling out of the western pacific. it's making tracks towards the bay area. winds increasing 10 to 20. right now outside temperatures into the 50s and 50s. mild temperatures 50s 60s common across the beaches. 64 in los altos. good morning san jose. 65 degrees. east of the bay from the low to mid-60s from clayton through concord into walnut creek including blackhawk. and we have 57 degrees in stinson beach, 61 in sonoma. well in the far reaches of the north bay. temperatures in fact 50s and 60s. right here we'll see rain developing at 8 p.m. we'll track that storm together later in this newscast. >>> snowy weather in the mid- atlantic is making people slip causing cars to crash. going slow on the sidewalks. we are hearing the wet conditions will get worse come tomorrow. blizzard watch is already in effect in baltimore and the dc area. reporter don champion tells us what's in store for the region on friday. >>> reporter: donald trump is -- traffic ground to a halt. among those stuck in the mess president obama who endure

western pacific, the water often piles up. that is our normal weather pattern. once that shifts even a little bit, that throws off the global circulation in the atmosphere. this has a big role. this looks like it will stay that case. we are at the peak of el nino. you are going to look at really a long time before the weather pattern starts to get back to normal. we are talking about this. looking at windy and wet conditions out there. plus across the mediterranean. even over towards turkey, as well. we've been looking at heavy snowfall. over 100 centimeters across this region. also cold temperatures across parts of the peninsula towards the west of the ball can peninsula. temperatures pushing into the minus teens. some border cities between turkey and syria, a lot of refugees out there temperatures drop below the freezing point. into north eastern asia, as far as near-term forecast, we have snow across the north. it will continue to pick up heading into the weekend. high pressure settling out of siberia bringing in chilly temperatures. above-average temperature

and i mean western pacific. they are going to gear up and move our way by the time we get to roughly friday afternoon and that's when all the changes arrive. it's a dry week. more snow for the sierra and you, the skiers and snowboarders another foot on the way. 49 was the high today. you know what? not bad for the coast. temperatures in san francisco 58 to 62 at monterey. that's nice. and we're at 48 as of four. relative humidity is 50%. and it's dry air, of course. but it's the cooler. and that means the overnight lows will likely dip to just at the freezing mark if not below. wind speeds dead calm across our area and it will stay that way for tonight as wl. is so this high pressure cell means what? we have not to show you coming at us at all the way through, well, the next three or four days. future clouds and radar, sprinkles for the north coast. that's it. it remains really, really quiet all the way through all of tuesday, maybe some passing clouds wednesday early in the morning and partly cloudy on wednesda

years we have a strong trade winds and they're helping to produce the warmer waters across the western pacific but during al mean you know we actually have those trade winds weakening and so it allows that warmer water to push more so towards the east of the eastern half of the pacific and near the central pacific as well so that we have those warmer waters and that really i will produce some crazy weather across portions of the world not just the country and speaking of california we still have some showers falling into some snow showers. not quite as bad as what they were dealing with snow showers the nation's heartland and we've got some showers over the gulfstream just off of our kozma closer to home were actually sitting nice and dry on the radar was picking up on a few very light showers i was double checking some of those observations large rise of you have any plans this evening will remain mostly cloudy and mainly dry just about a ten percent chance of showers mainly across the southern portion of the south side stretching down into north carolina usa due to the rest of the night we'r

so as we look in the western pacific out here this is what i'm watching for the possibility of next monday. this one is certain to impact friday and saturday. futurecast shows today in and out of the clouds. a dry day under partly cloudy conditions pretty mild temperatures with that flat wind. then here comes your thursday evening. that front begins to descend on the north bay. your friday morning commute will be wet. we'll be in and out of the rain showers on your friday. then again that core of the center of the area of low pressure right there pushes in for your saturday morning. sun-up today slated at 7:22. by the time it sets tonight, again, a dry day temperatures 50s and 60s. winds rotate from the west to the northeast 5 to 10 miles per hour. here's your extended forecast. rain friday, rain saturday morning and then we'll keep an eye on the tail end of the weekend into your monday. that is a look at your wednesday forecast. here's gianna with traffic. >> thanks, roberta. we'll welcome the break in the weather so we have a much easier commute so far this morning on the eastshore freew

yesterday we were explaining that high pressure was building in for the western pacific. that's still the same story we have a dry spot right there. and then we have these clouds that have been seeping in from a weak disturbances north of the bay area skimming the see shore. here's the storm track for you. while we have high pressure, it's now diverting that storm track to the north. we actually have an area of low pressure it's going to bounce off the ridge of high pressure and take all the activity well into the pacific northwest and into alaska. so that's a big change for us because this area of low pressure if this was this time last week would make tracks here but the high pressure is a blocking ridge. this will throw clouds into the forecast. we hope the systems will break down the ridge and allows the moisture to seep back in by friday. tuesday into wednesday, in and out of the clouds, some filtered sunshine. a lot of warm air mass still in place but the bottom line is temperatures are slightly above average. the winds are flat. and then there you go all the way to

moisture in the atmosphere right now and all this areas of low pressure stacking up over the western pacific tapping into that moisture that's just ready to bring us more rain and we have significant rainfall in the offing again tonight and through the weekend. good morning, everyone. this is our hi-def doppler radar. rain showers pretty much out of here for the morning commute leaving behind in it wake mostly cloudy skies. temperature-wise look how mild it is. 43 to 56 degrees. winds under 10. here's the deal. your day will be mainly dry today even some sunny breaks but then here comes storm number 8. it's slated to move into the bay area beginning at 9:00 in the north bay along the coast overnight hours. here's your saturday morning. and this is some moderate to heavy rainfall mid-morning. scattered showers saturday leaving us with some possibly scattered showers for saturday evening. but a bigger storm rolls in for sunday. we'll track that one together. right now, let's send it on over to gianna. >>> thanks, roberta. we're going to jump over to mass transit right now and take a look at co

sure we have storms stacked up over the western pacific but the difference between today and yesterdayd the day before is that high pressure is now building in diverting the storm track to the north of us to all the precipitations going well into the pacific northwest. it's a beautiful area of low pressure just wish they were tracking toward the bay area. our six- to ten-day outbreak as we look ahead day by day towards super bowl played at levi's stadium right now looks like a wetter than average period through february fourth. futurecast illustrates a few clouds today but more ample sunshine than we experienced yesterday. as a result, temperatures will be warmer. 41 degrees in south shore today. currently 15 degrees. there's your sun-up and sounddown 10 hours one minute of available daylight about a minute 13 longer than yesterday. west wind 5 to 10 miles an hour. rain arrives friday through saturday. otherwise it's a dry weather pattern. make it a great day. >>> thanks. just a dozen days and counting until the broncos and panthers meet at super bowl 50. we are days away from the open

seems their strategy is more likely to gain dominance in the western pacific and shift the only us in of escalation on us. but their somewhat expanding nuclear force will give them more options for limited nuclear use. any conflict that involves the united states and china or united states and russia is going to involve nuclear weapons. for us to have an effective defense strategy to deal with this and serve our traditional strategy which we should continue is figure out how to deal with this problem rather than hope it goes away. which is not unreasonably sometimes been our inclination the last quarter century. i think this means having a defense strategy that very clearly and practically has ways of plausibly deterring an adversary from using nuclear weapons or, god forbid, if they have been used, terminating their usage on term that's are sufficiently favorable to us. the qdr of last year made noises this direction when it said we will not let an adversary escalatite way out of defeat. this is one species of the problem. the qdr is to be -- i think it is well known that that was pr
