Overcast skies highly-influenced by a persistent marine layer this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast — a hint of sunshine every-once-in-awhile, but mostly just a gray landscape. Internal perkiness, though, is easily swallowed as today is supposedly National Coffee Day, albeit I celebrate it on all days ending in ‘y.’ Add to the caffeinated observance…
Crystal-clear with way-bright sunshine and a chilly air this Monday morning on California’s north coast and the next few days are forecast for the same. Supposedly, temperatures should be warmer today, but a cool Pacific breeze will keep the lid on any heat. Our view of last night’s “blood moon”-lunar eclipse was extraordinary as predictions…
Sunshine burning-off the fog this Sunday morning on California’s north coast — clear sunrise earlier, but then a chilled-moist marine layer came cat-feeting ashore with thick vapor soup; now eastern skies are bright with sun, and today most-likely a repeat of yesterday as the fog bank melts away. Although the skies could get near-clear, the…
Bright sunshine and warm skies this noon Wednesday on California’s north coast, and with the first day of Autumn, a new season to worry about the weather. At least according to the NWS, the environment is supposed to be some-type ‘sunny’ through the coming weekend, a seemingly lapse before the weirdness of winter and the…
Another bright, sunshine afternoon on California’s north coast, rain now only a quick-memory as temperatures are expected to go warm again, especially in the interior valleys — still, ocean-breeze cool along the shoreline with some location-highs supposedly in the low-70s. And of California’s “super” saver (via the Washington Post): ‘“El Niño is a cruel system,”…
Although some ‘isolated showers‘ are forecast for this Thursday afternoon on California’s north coast, right now it’s warm with big, fluffy clouds and lots of sunshine. Rainfall totals for our area aren’t available yet, but we felt a couple episodes of heavy downpours yesterday, and I could hear rain pattering early this morning. Hopefully the…
In wake of a massive, 8.3 earthquake off the coast of central Chile this afternoon, the NOAA has placed California under a tsunami alert with most shoreline from Newport Beach in Orange County to Port San Luis in San Luis Obisbo County supposedly predicted to experience less than a foot of sea surge. And supposedly, too,…
Actual, real rain this early Wednesday, splashing across California’s north coast, and not just here, but this is a supposedly-goodly storm for northern California, bringing some way-needed wet. Rainfall totals along the shoreline are hard to judge, but from weather maps, the wet looks real-wet for all of the region, and some strong winds, maybe…
Overcast and humid near-noon Tuesday on California’s north coast, and although there’s rain forecast for tonight, earlier this morning was bright sunshine and clear skies. However, it didn’t take long for the cloud coverage to envelope us, and here along the shoreline we’re predicted for less than half-an-inch of rain in this the first ‘serious’…
Thickly-overcast this near-noon Monday on California’s north coast — actually felt the first drop of rain this season walking back from Safeway earlier, a quick-dash on my hand, then a light, but obvious pelting for a few minutes. Although forecasters were calling for rain tomorrow night, usually it comes sooner. This week, a fast-moving storm…
