Super-bright sunshine this Thursday morning on California’s north coast, or maybe the luminosity appears intense after the last few days of thick clouds and rain. We’re still forecast for rain showers today, and heavy downpour called for tomorrow and on into the weekend — and we’re also in a Coastal Flood Advisory, which indicate offshore…
Rain and more rain this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast, but we get breaks between downpours, sometimes even with sunshine, but nothing like down in LA County — Meteorologist Curt Kaplan: ‘“Yesterday, we had six straight hours of rain.”‘ So much so, records shattered dating to 1961. And with all that wet, the inevitable…
Thick overcast this early Tuesday on California’s north coast as rain continues its work, though, the NWS calls it ‘showers‘ and not actual full-blown rain. Drizzle? Down south in the Bay Area this morning, however, precipitation is considered ‘heavy rain,’ and has already caused a shitload of ‘crashes, traffic hazards and flooding,’ and should lighten…
Drizzling rain and thickly-overcast this early Sunday, the last day of November, here on California’s north coast — we’re feeling the trailing remnants of a big storm now sweeping southward. So big the weather-front, counties south of the Bay Area opened ‘sandbag stations,’ in case of flooding off the storm — so ‘uncommon lately,’ TV…
Approaching the evening of one gorgeous Tuesday — weather-wise — here on California’s north coast with clear skies, temperatures in the mid-60s, and forecast for an even warmer tomorrow. Rain penciled-in for Thanksgiving, though, and supposedly another big storm by Friday. Right now, it’s cool. A cheap-gas holiday ahead, however, not cool, for the road…
Rain, wind and cold — weather-bound Friday here on California’s north coast. Rain scheduled for all day, and supposedly heavy tonight. Maybe some sun tomorrow… Despite the freezing-ass cold of the upper-eastern US, and the epic New York snowstorms, the world is still getting warm — last month, California had the third-warmest October since record-keeping…
Rain and more rain this early Thursday on California’s north coast, supposedly the same story at least until the end of next week — thick clouds and chilly air, normal weather for here. We’re forecast to get sunshine on Sunday, but that’s a maybe. One aspect of the local area I find disheartening is the…
Overcast and dark this early Wednesday on California’s north coast as we wade through another rain front — supposedly good rainfalls the next few days and through the weekend. ‘Tis the season. Also the season for our most-noted local crop — a lot of trim work available nowadays as marijuana buds itself. And another report…
Bright and cool this late afternoon, but without DST, nighttime seems to come quick, getting-darker faster. End-of-a-terrible mystery news: The “melting,” or “wasting” disease horribly killing sea stars — or ‘star fish‘ — along the West Coast, including right here in Humboldt County, is apparently caused by a type of parvovirus, bad shit usually found…
Bright sunshine and a cool breeze this afternoon — the day keeps on going. Oddly paradoxical, a couple of new environmental-related studies reported today reveal the weirdness and tragedy of climate change. One is on natural effects, and the other on human affects. An aspect of global warming — the greenhouse effect — is that a…
