Bright sunshine and a warm, gentle sea breeze this Monday morning on California’s north coast — supposedly up into the low-70s today, and appears so for the rest of the week. Way-beyond our so-called “supermoon” last night — dazzlingly-clear and seemingly transparent-looking from my vantage point, an original event: ‘This is the first recorded occurrence of…
Overcast and way-humid this late Friday afternoon on California’s north coast as we look for some rain finally to swept across the region tonight and tomorrow. The NWS advises maybe between a quarter-to-half-an-inch of rainfall to douse us, but here along the shoreline, forecast/predictions blow in the wind. And today marks the 10th anniversary of Katrina…
Bright sunshine again this near-noon Thursday on California’s north coast with rain forecast for tomorrow, but now the window’s way-narrow, maybe just for late Friday and early Saturday — abbreviated endurance. Simply just as the NWS notes: ‘Be ready for brief wet weather this weekend.’ Meanwhile, state of the atmosphere in journalism really, really sucks,…
Brightly-lit sunshine and warm this near-noon Wednesday on California’s north coast — chances racking higher for some good rain this weekend, supposedly starting Friday afternoon (maybe 80 percent chance Friday night) and lasting through Sunday. Winds are way-calm, too, which makes the heat stick awhile. Not calm and highly, disgustingly sticky: ‘Two members of a…
Overcast again this Tuesday afternoon, though, clouds appear to be thinning out some, so maybe we could get some real sunshine before dark. And appears, too, we might get some rain on Friday, and hopefully on Saturday as well — the rain was originally forecast for Saturday, but as usual, the score has moved up…
Overcast and way-humid this Monday afternoon on California’s north coast with the fog really, really wet earlier this morning as if there was a drizzle going on — not! Just way-wet fog, and appears more of the same for the rest of today. maybe some sunshine later on, but it appears doubtful. Although the NWS…
Gloomy-gray overcast this early Sunday on California’s north coast, and although I’m used to the days-long marine layer, this particular batch feels more miserable than usual — maybe after seemingly weeks-long bright sunshine-filled skies, this latest fog cycle has become achingly oppressive. Mix surreal smoke from burning giant, wooded-interior parts from all around where I’m…
Overcast and chilly this early Friday on California’s north coast — along with the fog, forest fires are again contributing to the airwaves with the NWS calling for ‘Areas Smoke‘ for today and tomorrow. Unfortunately, as fire fighters contain one fire, another nearby starts and spreads.This morning, just as the Mad River Complex fire in south…
Overcast with thick, moist fog this Thursday morning on California’s north coast, and if you’ve seen NASA‘s ‘Blanket of Smoke‘ photo (if not, Lost Coast Outpost has it), then you understand the staying power of our saturated marine layer, leaving no room for sunshine. Or for heat — really chilly all day yesterday, although the NWS…
Another thick, gray episode this Wednesday afternoon on California’s north coast — no direct sunshine at all so far, and apparently none is coming. The marine layer is holding, and along with carrying a lot of moisture, seems stationary. Earlier this morning, if you didn’t know better, it really looked like we’d had some rain…
