Overcast and chilly this early Friday on California’s north coast — along with the fog, forest fires are again contributing to the airwaves with the NWS calling for ‘Areas Smoke‘ for today and tomorrow. Unfortunately, as fire fighters contain one fire, another nearby starts and spreads.This morning, just as the Mad River Complex fire in south…
Thick marine layer holding hard this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast — an unusual, heavy fog to last all day so far, and was even pretty moist earlier. Along with the fog, that surrealistic, forest-fire smoke influence to the skies, giving off a ‘twilight zone‘ tempo, or maybe what my barber told me this…
Faded sunshine/overcast this near-noon Monday on California’s north coast, with a goodly touch of the surrealistic smoke-influenced air that’s been missing the last few days. Although it’s cool here, the NWS has a caution for triple-digit temperatures for the interior. As California churns through a dry-drought, the future is fire — UC Berkeley professor Scott…
Sunshine and nearly-clear skies this Thursday morning on California’s north coast — we’re supposed to be warm again today with temps in the low-70s, but along the shoreline, though, there’s a wonderful ocean breeze that takes a lot of the heat away. Not really…just feels like it. In the heat of the moment, southern California…
Overcast this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast — the NWS adds the weather-soaked influence of our forest fires, ‘Areas Smoke,’ to today and tonight’s forecast. Once again, Redheaded Blackbelt has all the info on our fire situation, including news of a inmate-firefighter injury at the Humboldt Complex fires — he apparently wasn’t seriously injured, and was…
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…
Orange sunshine this early Friday on California’s north coast with more fog/smoke skies that have become commonplace the last few weeks, considered ‘haze, for lack of a better term. All those forest fires blazing through the interior have created surreal cloud cover with ‘orange’ sunshine slicing through on occasion — and adding to the comfort…
Fog and smoke in the skies again this Tuesday afternoon along California’s north coast — gloomy, surrealistic clouds with no direct sunshine today at all as the marine layer plays second-fiddle to burning trees. Lake County continues to burn nearly out of control — even with some rain: ‘Cal Fire spokesman Jason Shanley says the rain…
Oddly-ominous overcast along California’s north coast this Monday afternoon, and beyond the cheap alliterated verbiage, the environment appears going up in smoke. Four hours south, down In Lake County is an original freaked, forested fireball (via Santa Rosa’s Press Democrat): “Never happened before,” said Scott Lindgren, Cal Fire incident commander for the 54,000-acre blaze that…
Illusory skies again this Monday morning as our marine layer whisking along California’s north coast is seemingly freakishly tainted with smoke from forest fires still raging within the interior — 21 wildfires statewide, a big chunk up here in the north. One firefighter killed in the last week, and a shitload suffering heat exhaustion — a…
