Sunshine this Thursday afternoon on California’s north coast — a persistent-gloomy cloud-bank from in the morning finally evaporated some, or got scattered about, or whatever, and now a sun-bright aura enlivens my apartment to some degree every so often, lasting from a few seconds to a few minutes, then darkness comes. The light less bright.…
Weak-faded sunshine this afternoon on California’s north coast, but mostly fairly-overcast with a chilly breeze — still ain’t not at all unpleasant. Meanwhile, most unpleasant and pretty bad, the rain-gushing-weather in the Southwest US — river flooding in the central and southern Plains, mostly in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, eastern Kansas and western Missouri, and…
Clouds by any other name is ground fog this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, creating a gloomy-gus gray at first light and supposedly, our mundane weather routine continues today with maybe some decent rain inbound for next week. Not dull, though, a 4.3 earthquake just after 3 this morning, located about 40 miles west-southwest of…
Blustery sunshine this Saturday afternoon on California’s north coast — the whip-like wind is a bit chilly, too, but the windows are staying open for awhile to let the cool ventilation aerate the apartment. I’m wearing a sweater now, so it won’t belong before my old bones get cold — just got to wait. In…
Overcast with a slight-chilled wind this Friday afternoon on California’s north coast — woke up too early and seemingly a bit under the weather. And the “super El Niño” reported a couple of weeks ago still seems to be on track, and with it not only an increase in the wildfire season for California, but…
Early, pre-dawn dark this Thursday on California’s north coast, the outside as partially-peeped from my back patio, appears cloudy up-top, layered with a fine mist of floating ground fog down around street-light level, and off in the trees. A way-slight chance of rain today, and according to the NWS, ‘mostly cloudy‘ the next week or…
Overcast most-likely up there in the dark this way-too-early Wednesday on California’s north coast, about a 20 percent chance of rain supposedly today, tampering off to even less for remainder of the week. Along this same Pacific coastline yesterday afternoon, but about 10 hours and 600 miles south, ‘a pungent smell‘ stung the air —…
Rain before sunrise this Tuesday morning on California’s north coast, but gone now two/three hours later — overcast still, but supposedly no more wet stuff until later in the week. Apparently, the downpour just dampened sidewalks. In the grip of an ugly drought, a new poll reveals although California folks understand how serious the nature…
Thick-gray overcast this early Monday on California’s north coast, supposedly a rain-off-and-on episode this week, about 40 percent today, down to a ‘chance‘ rest of the time. Rain/snow water is a major-major topic in California, but actually it’s more of a ‘tale of two droughts,’ as statewide reservoirs go dry, our own uniquely full Ruth Lake has…
Overcast and still dark this early Sunday on California’s north coast, and quiet. We seem to keep missing the rain, the NWS forecasts today as ‘partly sunny,’ but maybe a 40-percent ‘chance‘ of showers tomorrow afternoon. Unlike this downpour nightmare — in Australia the rain was of spiders. From last Thursday’s The Sydney Morning Herald:…
