Glaringly-bright and warm this mid-afternoon on California’s north coast — according to the NWS, we’re supposed to be about 54 degrees right now, but it sure feels a bit more fervent. Dude, bright as the sunshine, we might need some groceries, as neatest-interesting news item I’d seen today was this report from NPR on why marijuana…
Quiet in the pre-dawn dark this early Thursday on California’s north coast — ground fog keeps everything muffled in a moist, chilled blanket, and although we’re supposed to be sunny today, it took awhile yesterday for sunshine to cut through the gray. This close to the actual Pacific shoreline creates a weird bump sometimes in…
Overcast with a damp ground fog this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, the weather pattern down to a science. Preliminary rainfall totals for January are out from the NWS, and for my area, we were about 25 percent of normal — I thought we were dry as a bone, but seemingly not, maybe the…
Near-crystal clear this early Monday on California’s north coast, a faint white streak peeking from the east, the moon hanging slightly above, like a fingernail in its ‘Waning Crescent‘ period, and supposedly, today should be ‘nearly the same‘ as yesterday, and if true, another beautiful one a-coming, weather-wise. And Sunday was a keeper — opened…
Gray-overcast and cold this early Friday on California’s north coast, yet supposedly doesn’t spell what’s coming, weather-wise — sunshine and warmth, maybe up into the mid-70s by Sunday. Meanwhile: Bob Henson at WunderBlog yesterday afternoon: ‘The next winter storm will intensify into a powerhouse east of New England on Thursday and Friday, with surface pressure deepening…
Mostly-hazy sunshine this afternoon on California’s north coast, but on occasion the air is way-bright, and warmer than chilly, which is good. Some bad climate news today (nothing new) with droughts now plaguing the American Southwest predicted to get worse — real worse, like out of the Middle Ages worse. Via Scientific American: But a…
Partly cloudy skies reddened with sunshine this early Wednesday on California’s north coast — supposedly a clear, sunny day ahead, but already way-colder. After just a couple of weeks of that warm, southern ‘atmospheric rivers’ weather, an old guy can way-quickly become maladjusted. And of course, ‘way-colder,’ is way-relative. An interesting note this morning, another…
Sunshine overshadowed by a few lumbering clouds this afternoon on California’s north coast — and chilly, too. A big, big twist lately in our ‘normal’ temperature for winter has been those ‘atmospheric rivers’ involved with rainstorms out of the southern Pacific — a warmth not found in our usual Alaskan-born systems. Warm is the new…
Cloudy with peek-a-boo sunshine this early Tuesday on California’s northern coast, and from the east, red sky at morning, all the world’s a warning. Rainfall totals from the NWS shows we received nearly 3.5 inches of rain in five days — that’s semi-non-official, and the real, actual total will probably be higher. Wind gusts the last…
After howling for hours, the wind about my little space of California’s north coast are way-more gentle this early Monday — supposedly we’re on the tail-end of the latest winter-rainstorms, and the moisture is expected to taper off this afternoon and evening. Sunshine maybe tomorrow — hopefully, later today. As weather dominates US news coast-to-coast,…
