Bright sunshine made-warmer by a near-calm wind this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, supposedly an indicator of our immediate future. The next couple of days, as indicated by the percent-chance of precipitation-scale on the WunderBlog‘s weather thingy, a rare slide along at zero until at least early Friday — and again depending on the wind,…
Drizzling rain this early Thursday on California’s north coast, softly and misty — opposite to a couple of hours ago when a nasty, but quick, storm front hammered its way across the landscape. Heavy-pelting rain with close-at-hand thunder caffeinated the senses just shortly after daybreak. According to the NWS, more than a quarter-inch of rain…
Sunshine and warm temperatures this Monday afternoon on California’s north coast, all tempered by a slightly-cool ocean breeze — about as good-as-it-gets for these parts. Overcast-sun and a slight chance of rain forecast for tomorrow, similar weather features on-and-off for the rest of the week. As we start another wildfire season here in California, a…
(Illustration: ‘California Redwoods3,’ by Will Borden, found here). Bright sunshine and gusty winds this near-noon Thursday on California’s north coast as we start a decent-sized episode of clear weather, an attitude supposedly to last until at least the middle of next week — according to the WunderBlog‘s weather thingy, the precipitation percentage appears on the…
Raining fairly steady this early Friday on California’s north coast as this particular weather episode seems to be carrying more moisture than forecast. Showers on-and-off — sunshine floods the senses every-now-and-then. Pretty-wet so far this year, though. Rainfall totals for March released by the NWS this morning, reveals we made a big splash. My spot way-near…
A goodly part of California is the Pacific Ocean. Although just hugging our coast, the Pacific carries a shitload of influence all over, spread out vast to the west from where I’m sitting, and is apparently getting smothered. Climate change and the ‘other CO2 problem.’ Oceans absorb about a quarter of the CO2, changing the…
Bright sunshine, clear skies and warm temperatures this Monday morning on California’s north coast as we spin through another dry, heated episode. Yesterday was hot (relative, of course). Sunday’s high of 74 broke Eureka’s record of 67 set way-back in 1983 — up here in Mckinleyville, we also notched a 74-high (according to the NWS…
Overcast and sprinkling rain this early Thursday on California’s north coast, a respite from most-likely the strongest storm of the ‘season’ last night. In seemingly classic-weather style yesterday afternoon, heavy, gusty winds forewarned of the coming rain front — then rain pushed by the blowing-crazy air pelted down/sideways/every-which-way through the evening and night. We received…
Sunshine with a chilled breeze this early Wednesday on California’s north coast as we look forward to ‘a brief return to winter‘ tonight and tomorrow. The NWS predicts gusty winds with heavy rain, possible hail, thunderstorms, too. Last night, a surprise heavy rain about dark — didn’t expected it, and strong parts of the storm…
Overcast with sunshine trying to break free this early Monday on California’s north coast, and it’s looking better outside by the minute. We’re supposed to end up clear by this afternoon, and nice weather until mid-week when another short burst of rain is expected, then clear for awhile — maybe the next 10 days or…
