Why there are no event reports here
Golden State Weather has no live observation feed, so it cannot honestly tell you that eight inches fell somewhere on Tuesday — it has no way to know. A fabricated event report sitting next to fifty-seven verified NOAA stations is the single most damaging thing this site could publish, because a reader would have no way to tell the two apart.
So this desk files explainers (evergreen mechanism), seasonal outlooks (tied to a time of year, not to an event) and notices about the site itself. Every piece carries its kind as a chip, and the build script rejects anything dated in the future. When an observation pipeline exists, event coverage can join — under a label that keeps it distinct.
