Tropical storm remnants headed for Calif.
The remnants of Tropical Storm Eugene are expected to push into California Tuesday and Wednesday. The moisture will bring a chance of rain to Southern California and is likely to drive up humidity levels across a large portion of the state, the National Weather Service said.
“It’ll feel very sticky,” said Joe Sirard, a forecaster with the weather service’s Los Angeles bureau. “You’ll definitely feel humidity with the tropical moisture coming in. If it’s 80 degrees, it’ll feel 90 to 95.”

“We do get tropical storms and hurricane that develop over the eastern Pacific,” Sirard said. “It can happen as early as June. It’s not that common for California to see remnants of these storms. It does happen occasionally. Not necessarily every summer, but it does happen.”
The remnant moisture associated with the system is moving north and will reach Southern California as early as Tuesday, the weather service said. Cloud cover is expected to increase. There’s a chance for rain and a slight chance for thunderstorms in the southern part of the state, including across Los Angeles County and as far north as San Luis Obispo County and as far south as San Diego County. The inland desert areas and the southern Sierra Nevada could also see rain and maybe even some scattered thunderstorms.
Peak moisture is expected in Southern California on Wednesday but the weather service’s LA office said chances for precipitation could continue into Thursday and Friday.
“As this is such a climatologically unusual event, the models probably don’t have the best grasp of it and the forecast remains low confidence accordingly,” the weather service’s LA office said.

The San Francisco Bay Area is expected to see less significant impacts from the moisture than Southern California.
“At this moment, I would keep it generally south of the Bay Area,” said Ryan Walbrun, a forecaster with the weather service’s Bay Area office. “Right now the most likely dividing line is somewhere across Monterey County and the Central Coast.”
Walbrun said the Bay Area will see some high clouds, especially southern parts of the region, on Wednesday from the remnant moisture.
“San Jose on Wednesday might see some of the high clouds,” he said. “That would be the signal that the remnant moisture is somewhat nearby.”

As the remnant moisture is pushing north, a trough of low-pressure will be dropping down from the Pacific Northwest into Northern California on Tuesday, leading to cooler weather and increased in fog. The trough, Walbrun explained, will counteract the remnant moisture, nudging it to the south and preventing it from fully moving into the Bay Area.
Amid the weather shift, afternoon highs across the Bay Area are forecast to be anywhere from 5 to 15 degrees cooler on Tuesday than they were on Monday. From Tuesday to Thursday, daytime highs are expected to be in the 70s to 80s in inland valleys and in the 60s on the coast. Walbrun said humidity levels could increase beginning Wednesday with the remnant moisture just to the south of the region.

California continues to lead in US unemployment rate
SACRAMENTO: The state of California continues to lead the United States in the number of job losses since the start of this year, reported Xinhua, quoting a report by California’s Employment Development Department on Friday.
The unemployment rate in California, home to around 40 million residents, remained unchanged at 5.3 per cent in April for the third consecutive month, maintaining the highest level in the country.
The report showed that the number of unemployed Californians was 1,027,000 in April – down by 5,900 from the previous month and up 164,700 year on year.
This is the second time in five months the total number of the unemployed has declined. It comes amidst sluggish job growth, with statewide employers adding just 5,200 nonfarm payroll jobs in April, a significant drop from the 18,200 jobs added in March.
According to the report, California’s employment landscape has been particularly bleak across several major sectors. Manufacturing, information, and professional and business services all experienced job losses in the past month, contributing to a less robust job market.
Meanwhile, five of California’s 11 industry sectors gained jobs in April, with private education and health services posting the largest month-over-month gain for the fourth consecutive month.

A California town is for sale. Asking price: $6.6 million
In California, a state where single family houses often run for millions of dollars, what amounts to basically an entire city has gone on the market with a price tag of just $6.6 million.
Top Gun Commercial Real Estate has listed a 16-acre property in Campo, Calif., a town that’s about 2 miles from the Mexican border and an hour or so east of San Diego. Included in that listing are 28 buildings that make up the bulk of the town’s properties. Most were built in the 1940s.
Those properties are occupied, too. About 100 residents rent from a single owner who is looking to sell. The Border Patrol also rents a commercial building in the town.
The seller (and townspeople) hope whoever buys Campo does so with revitalization in mind.
“Investors can choose to build to maximize the density of the existing land without altering the town’s current structures, or alternatively, consider a complete redevelopment to modernize and elevate Campo’s profile,” the listing reads. “Campo’s appeal is not limited to its potential for physical transformation but is enhanced by its strategic location. The proximity to San Diego opens a myriad of recreational, cultural, and economic opportunities, making it an attractive proposition for long-term investors looking to make a significant impact.”
Included in the sale are 28 residential properties, which rent for anywhere from $250 per month to $1,600, as well as a church, metal shop, post office, lumber yard and the border patrol building. All totaled, more than 62,000 square feet of property is part of the sale—with monthly rents totaling $44,253 worth of recurring income for the new buyer.
Heck, the town will pay for itself in just 149 months!
Campo was originally established in World War II to house soldiers in case of an invasion, which (of course) never happened.
