The first publicly released "professional" projection for fallout hitting the US was, I believe, from the CTBTO and reported by the New York Times on March 16th.
Earlier today I saw reports that a diplomat with access to the CTBTO radiation tracking data told the AP that tiny amounts of radiation had reached and been detected in California.
Later on in the day I saw reports that the EPA was questioned about fallout having been detected and they confirmed it.
A WSJ article from a couple of hours ago reported that a CA radiation monitor had "validated" readings seen in Washington state on March 16th and March 17th.
IOW, it sounds as though we have the CTBTO and a foreign diplomat to thank for knowing what little we know now.
