’30 Seconds Closer to Midnight’

Beautiful Friday morning here on California’s north coast, glaringly-bright sunshine and barely any wind makes for a most-comfortable environment.

Covering…

ARs in the Air

Rain-to-drizzle-to-rain again this Saturday morning on the storm-tossed northern California coast — under the sweep of several ‘atmospheric rivers’ for the next week to 10 days. According to the NWS, those storms will bring ‘copious amounts of moisture‘ to our area, from tonight through next Thursday — 5.5-to-12-inches of rain for Humboldt County, depending on…

‘Sizzles’ of Weird

Dark-thirty already this early Friday evening on California’s north coast, looming overcast the preview of some supposedly wet rainstorms this weekend — yes, ‘storms,’ as in plural, more-than-one, the first tomorrow night, the others coming Sunday.. And the cycles mostly of the ‘atmospheric river’ variety, i.e., continuous heavy rain and gusty winds. These southern systems…
