‘Jailed’

Scattered sunshine this early Monday on California’s north coast, with semi-clear skies, chilly temperatures, and changing weather.

Bright-sunshine again this near-noon Friday on California’s north coast, supposedly we’re due for about the same the next few days. Meanwhile, way-to-the-east, the opposite in nature as Hurricane Matthew brutishly-swirls along the south Atlantic seaboard — sustained winds, 120 mph.
