Sunshine and a warm breeze this Monday afternoon on California’s north coast — at least along the shoreline we’re supposed to be in the low 70s today and tomorrow, but if the ocean breeze kicks in, all bets are off. Forest fires continue burning to the east and south of us, but apparently winds have…
Faded sunshine and way-cooler this Thursday afternoon on California’s north coast as the ‘heat wave’ for our shoreline has gone in a huff of mostly clouds motivated by a crisp breeze. Still hot via the interior, however, running the temp-gauge into triple digits. In the crank of observation, Californians are not only getting more concerned…
Bright and sunny this Saturday afternoon on California’s north coast as we continue onward through the weekend. And on through the summer — supposedly California’s forest-fire season. The burning started earlier this year, if it really stopped at all during the winter, and also continues onward, with 3,600 fires statewide in 2015, ‘almost 1,300 more…
Sunshine and a warm breeze near this mid-day Thursday on California’s north coast, and we supposedly could top 70-degrees this afternoon. Another pleasant shoreline episode. Up here in marijuana country and across a well-rolled America, a dramatic shift in the cannabis perspective, which is years and years late — via Yahoo: Forty-four percent of Americans…
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…
Angela Merkel and the coldness of the touch. Via Germany’s international broadcaster, Deutsche Welle: Nearly a minute passed until Merkel saw that Reem was crying and approached her saying: “You did that very well,” while stroking her hair and right shoulder. The discussion host then intervened, telling Merkel that it was not a case of…
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…
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…
An overcast, gray-damp Tuesday morning on California’s north coast, the shoreline fog just won’t go away — cool and moist here, but scorching-dry starting just a short distance inland. We’re forecast to be ‘much warmer‘ than yesterday, but that wouldn’t take much, while-on-the-meanwhile, the middle of northern part of the state is wildly-crazy — Chico…
