Frequently asked questions
The riverbed is sand. How does a dry Salinas wet an Alisal crawl in January?
The water is under the sand. This river runs subsurface most of the year, and January raises that table into the alluvium. A crawl on the east side is sitting in the river whether the bed shows a trickle. Looking at the channel will miss the job under the floor.
The airport recorded a dry week. Why is the west-side siding still wet?
Because the marine layer is not rain. Monterey Bay fog condenses on cold west-side walls and tracks for days, and 1976 stucco has paper at grade that wicked it. The gauge records a dry month. The siding does not.
Sunnyvale is also a valley-floor city with a short wet season. Same story?
Sunnyvale sits on Stevens Creek and Moffett fill. This city sits between the Gabilan and the Santa Lucia, on a subsurface river. January water here is hidden Salinas flow and marine fog, not a lined South Bay ditch. The rainfall totals look cousin; the valley is not.
