(The Hill) – The FBI and the U.S. Marshals Service are offering a combined reward up to $20,000 for information that can lead to the arrest of a former chief of staff to former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R), according to an announcement published Tuesday. Roy McGrath, 53, served as chief of staff to Hogan for about two months before he resigned in August 2020. An arrest warrant was issued for McGrath after he failed to appear for trial on wire fraud and embezzlement charges on March 13, and the FBI now considers him a fugitive and an "international flight risk."In October 2021, McGrath was indicted for wire fraud as well as theft or bribery from programs receiving federal funds. He pled not guilty to the charges and was released before his trial on the condition that he would show up for all his court dates, according to the FBI. In June 2022, McGrath was also charged with destruction, alteration or falsification of records in federal investigations. His trial was supposed to b...

Atmospheric rivers bring record breaking snowpack

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:02:54 GMT

AUSTIN (KXAN) – Atmospheric rivers have been stealing the headlines over the past several months as California has experienced a relentless amount of rain and snow. An atmospheric river is a narrow corridor of concentrated moisture or water vapor in the atmosphere. They can stretch hundreds to even thousands of miles in length while usually being much narrower in width (less than 500 miles or so). As this water vapor gets pushed up the mountains along the West Coast, this moisture is forced upwards creating cooling, condensation and a continuous torrential train of falling heavy precipitation. The faster the atmospheric river, the more intense these precipitation rates can be.The Sierra Nevada mountains supply nearly a third of California’s water supply. Our partners over at Climate Central plotted the annual snow water equivalent (the amount of water that forms after the melting of snow) for snowpack of the west coast over the last 50 years. Years with more atmospheric river e...
