Sunshine peeks through the clouds this Monday morning, breaking the depressing fog-laced gloom of the last few weeks — yesterday’s sunrise actually had some shine to it, and Sunday afternoon was the best little weather spell in a while. Although the sunshine is intermittent, it’s way-better that the gloom of a massive marine layer wallowing…
A thick, gloomy marine fog holds gray-hostage our environment this Friday afternoon on California’s north coast — clouds to the east appear heavy with rain, but apparently it just looks that way — just heavy layers of dry. Dry is the subject of climate change in California, i.e., a notorious drought and our only habitat…
Overcast and thickly-gloomy this Thursday mid-day on California’s north coast — we could be having some thunderstorms maybe this afternoon, coming off the rainy weather bubbling eastward in the mountain valleys, as the skies look damp and chilly. Nip ain’t the word, though — record temperatures last month: ‘In drought-plagued California, “we’re beating the record…
Thick, gray-overcast this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, and a damp feeling in the air, too. The NWS is forecasting some ‘heavy rain‘ eastward over in Trinity County today, complimented with a flash-flood watch — even here in the shoreline, between 20-to-60-percent chance of some ‘isolated‘ thunderstorms. (Contrast between WunderBlog and the NWS). Right now,…
In the wake of pyrotechnic Fourth of July celebrations this past weekend and the noted ‘exceptional’ peoples back-slapping we all seem to do on this particular holiday, there also should be a pause for reality. And real reality, not history figured full of ‘truthiness‘ and fitful fantasy. Time allowed the creation of a historical atmosphere…
Clear and blustery this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast, and although the NWS predicted some thunderstorm activity for today and tomorrow for the interior, nothing wet happening at all along the shoreline. They’re also forecasting a 20 percent chance of thunderstorms later today for the coastal area, and even some ‘heavy rain‘ for Wednesday…
Overcast and rainy-looking this Monday morning on California’s north coast — apparently, we had some heavy drizzle during the night, which might have been the early arrival for that ‘chance of showers‘ predicted by the NWS for tomorrow and Wednesday. No drought-buster, though. In the wake of freedom celebrations this past weekend, and Greeks voting…
Thick-gray overcast this early Friday on California’s north coast and although we’re expected to have temperatures in the low-70s, the coolness of the shoreline prohibits any heat of measure — not so eastward, a weak low pressure off the beach keeps triple-digits happening in the middle of the state. Incidentally, most-likely our hot weather, coupled…
Sunshine and warmth this Thursday afternoon on California’s north coast — fog burned off earlier, but without much wind, and now it’s calm, so the heat’s up. Yet what’s down as we spin a start into the fabled fourth of July weekend is gas-pump prices: ‘“Gas prices are about 60 cents below those of this…
Clear sunshine and windy this Wednesday afternoon on California’s north coast as we mosey on through a heat-wave scorching across the state. Although we’re forecast for the low-70s today, the sea breeze keeps the temperatures down into a slight chilled effect — not so in the interior with triple-digit numbers searing eastern mountain valleys. Extreme…
