Fat clouds and some faded sunshine this near-noon Wednesday on California’s north coast — forecast, though, is for the next couple of weeks to be fairly-nice with the NWS predicting sunny, or ‘mostly‘ sunny days. Feels humid and a bit on the gloomy side right now. Seemingly, gloomy all over — via UPI on Monday:…
Sunshine and windy this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast — supposedly, a prospect of rain tonight, but as the NWS notes, a ‘Slight Chance‘ in the making. Reportedly, and thankfully, the various forest fires burning in northern California has decreased, with just a few of them still keeping fire fighters busy — a good…
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 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…
(Illustration: ‘Wine Glass,’ by BrillianceDisplay, found here). Even as California gets scorched by some big wildfires, one easing off the fire-fighting radar is the Wragg Fire down in Napa County’s wine country — sparked in late July, and after burning nearly 8,000 acres was this morning considered 98 percent contained. During early stages of the…
Overcast seemingly lisping away to ‘partly sunny’ near-noon this Wednesday on California’s north coast — already some direct sunlight, so the weird-ass skies the last few days might be drawing to an end. Yet not — the forest fires burning just to the east and south of us continues nearly unchecked, especially the Mad River Complex…
In the heat of this Tuesday afternoon, I feel like tossing out to the poor folks right now, “…a bitter gibe or taunt,” just to lighten up the mob — and reveal my vast intelligence. Via sarcasm — from the Harvard Gazette: But new research by Francesca Gino of Harvard Business School, Adam Galinsky, the Vikram…
Bright sunshine and warm this Friday on California’s north coast, and we’re facing similar weather conditions for the foreseen future. No rain for a long spell… Apparently, the ‘wasting disease‘ for sea stars (star fish) continues (Jana Hennessy, a master’s student at HSU): ‘“I know our local beach-goers and tide-poolers have noticed the decline in…
Broken-overcast this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, with sunshine playing a more aggressive part in our morning — hope is for more brightness this afternoon. Yesterday was about the same, too, but little sunshine arrived later. According to the NWS, there were more than 500 cloud-to-ground lightning strikes on Monday across the interior of…
Fogged-overcast this Wednesday AM on California’s north coast — weather-wise most-likely near-about the same as yesterday. Here in the moist-gray near the shoreline, as well as eastward, and the interior. We probably top the low-60s today, while just two/three miles away temperatures could be 30-degrees warmer — the nature of the nature. And when nature…
