Overcast and chilly this early Wednesday on California’s north coast — the NWS forecasts ‘isolated showers,’ which is short for ‘on-n-off drizzle,’ though, we’re scheduled for some decent downpour any time starting right about now. Anyone living near a shoreline feels the influence of the wind, which is generally temperature-fueled by ocean water — a…
Bright sunshine and gusty wind this afternoon on California’s north coast — skies clear as a chilled-bell with that breeze pretty-blustery at times. Shoreline weather ’round these parts is mostly one of two types — overcast/fog, or cloudless with a bite-to-it wind. Local weather conditions usually lead most of my posts, which comes from just…
Overcast, gray and gloomy this early Sunday on California’s north coast — supposedly, sunshine maybe before mid-day, but if yesterday’s any kind of an example as we received only a little peek-a-boo sun late in the afternoon, we can expect these Gothic conditions to remain awhile. So staying on the dark side of shit, more…
Thin, hazy sunshine this early Friday, the first day of May and 2015 keeps whistling on down the tracks. And rain’s gone, too. We’re not showing anything but fog, clouds and sun (in that order, usually) the next week to 10 days — the Bay Area experienced ‘easily the lowest on record‘ rainfall totals for…
Overcast, gray and a bit on the chilly side this afternoon on California’s north coast. Sunshine aplenty this morning, all gone now. News item I spied earlier today, another one of those unpredictable side-effects of a warming planet — the Arctic’s permafrost melt — and another warning on methane release. Although not a ‘new‘ environmental…
Overcast this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, once again the combo fog/cloud routine until probably later in the morning or until afternoon — supposedly considered as ‘windy‘ today, we’ve usually the wind, but rarely designated as such by the NWS. And wind also usually brings sunshine, which is good. Today is also the 45th…
Overcast this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, supposedly the rain is gone until the weekend, but those thick, gray clouds hovering overhead right now look more than just a little rain-threatening. The NWS is calling today ‘mostly sunny,’ which is way better than mostly good, as I’m currently without wheels, two-footing it to Safeway…
Overcast-gloomy with lingering rain showers this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, which according to the NWS, will start to feel a drizzle-down this morning, with smooth, sunshine-sailing the rest of the week. So far into this new year, the weather up here has been pretty delightful — some days warm and clear. Wind makes…
Rain spatters on the back patio this afternoon on California’s north coast, but only a little bit at a time, way less than a drizzle, and really not much more than a damp wind. Supposedly, the real stuff is forecast to arrive later tonight, or early in the morning — less than a tenth-of-an-inch predicted.…
Clear and cold again this early Thursday on California’s north coast, working our way toward some rain supposedly coming this evening, or there-abouts, but supposedly pretty certain by tomorrow morning — the NWS doesn’t call it ‘rain,’ but ‘showers,’ which translates here close to the shoreline as, ‘drizzle.’ Yet if walking around, you’ll get soaked,…
