Overcast in a bright, glum-looking afternoon here on a small bit of California’s north coast — plenty of shine without much sun, though, you’re going to need shades. Although we’re in a fog-funk along the shoreline, eastward there’s been plenty of activity — yesterday, reportedly 2,600 lightning strikes occurred across northern California’s forested interior, and from…
Sunshine is fading away this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast — a thick fog bank has been slowly darkening the air, carried by a chilled breeze and our ‘heat wave’ slips away. The interior is supposed to catch some thunderstorms, half-inch hail with heavy rain in some parts, eastward over near Weaverville, the system…
A damp-looking, deep-gray-ground fog deadens first light this too-early Monday on California’s north coast — although dismal appearing now, the NWS claims today will be ‘mostly sunny,‘ with temperatures in the low-70s, ‘heat wave‘ weather for us. Of course, I’m being dumb — the NWS has issued a hot weather advisory for the interior of…
Clear-looking to the east this early Friday on California’s north coast, and a bright sun-up if the fog don’t get here first — chilly a bit now, though, supposedly we could see/feel 70-degrees today. Unlikely to happen, as this afternoon’s wind-chill factor will keep any soothing warmth out of the air. Although we’re a few…
Bright and blustery this afternoon on California’s north coast — the gusty-breeze a bit chilly and sharp, but if you’ve a wind break, the air’s warm and not unpleasant. Major climate news earlier today, as apparently there’s been no supposed global-warming “hiatus” the last few years, instead the whole scenario might be worse — NOAA…
Thick-gray clouds on an early Thursday, hanging-low along California’s north coast — might be more fog than cloud, sometime hard to reckon, but whatever, supposedly should be clearing fairly-quickly this morning. The NWS forecasts dry weather through middle of next week, but for today, a rare use of the word, ‘Breezy,’ with a small logo…
Overcast with a touch of ground fog this early Wednesday on California’s north coast as we’re expecting more sunshine today despite a forecast for a possible, slight-touch of drizzle. Weather along a shoreline is always abnormal, so whatever is outside is what’s happening — doesn’t make any sense, but not making sense is part-n-parcel of…
Bright with a gusty, chilly wind this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast — nice to finally see some sunshine after a seemingly unending fog-overcast weather mood for weeks. Supposed to be like this for awhile. And supposedly, we’ve got a little “earthquake swarm” apparently happening off the coast of Oregon (probably about 250-300 miles northwest…
Thick, low and wet-looking clouds hanging above my back patio on an early Monday look like they’re ready to drop some water onto California’s north coast — rain started last night, and with the sound, seemed fairly-good for awhile, but at this morning’s first light, just the warm, moist overcast. Supposedly, this particular rainstorm will…
Overcast so-laced with ground fog there’s drizzle in the air — no real rain forecast until Sunday night and into Monday, but this continuing low cloud situation makes life a bit wet. And making life more than a bit shitty — lack of sleep. Six years ago, without any preamble at all, I developed a…
