Sunshine, some fleeting clouds and warmth this Thursday afternoon on California’s north coast — feels like summer out there. Yet January could be June where we’re at, or reversed. Hurricane Oho out in the central Pacific will create some 13-to-15-feet breakers along our shoreline tomorrow and this weekend — Oho will provide a ‘very unusual…
Shocker and non-shocker: Another school shooting today at a community college in Oregon, reports currently differ on those killed, CNN says 10, NBC with 13, with more than 20 injured — the shooter, a 20-year-old kid was killed by police. In this latest horror, President Obama conveyed the sense: “Somehow this has become routine. The reporting…
Sunshine burning-off the fog this Sunday morning on California’s north coast — clear sunrise earlier, but then a chilled-moist marine layer came cat-feeting ashore with thick vapor soup; now eastern skies are bright with sun, and today most-likely a repeat of yesterday as the fog bank melts away. Although the skies could get near-clear, the…
Overcast and humid near-noon Tuesday on California’s north coast, and although there’s rain forecast for tonight, earlier this morning was bright sunshine and clear skies. However, it didn’t take long for the cloud coverage to envelope us, and here along the shoreline we’re predicted for less than half-an-inch of rain in this the first ‘serious’…
UPDATE this morning Last night, California legislators in Sacramento did actually pass what’s now been dubbed the, “Medical Marijuana Regulation and Safety Act” — from our local Times-Standard, and North Coast state Sen. Mike McGuire: ‘“This was a heavy lift by all involved, but the top priority for the Senate and the Assembly and the…
Heavy fog again this Friday morning on California’s north coast in a repeat of yesterday’s early weather, and if the plan goes accordingly, we’ll soon have clear skies with a warm afternoon. Of course, today is the 14th anniversary of the World Trade Center horror — and the feelings of all Americans are caught up…
Sunshine and warm this Sunday morning along California’s north coast. Weather’s good, but the problem’s the mighty Pacific — according to the NWS, turbulent shoreline waters: ‘Surprising periods of larger sets of waves.’ Speaking of surprises — this morning, Fox News’ Chris Wallace knocked Dick Cheney off the fantasy cat-bird-seat: ‘“So in fairness, didn’t you leave…
Overcast and way-humid this late Friday afternoon on California’s north coast as we look for some rain finally to swept across the region tonight and tomorrow. The NWS advises maybe between a quarter-to-half-an-inch of rainfall to douse us, but here along the shoreline, forecast/predictions blow in the wind. And today marks the 10th anniversary of Katrina…
Brightly-lit sunshine and warm this near-noon Wednesday on California’s north coast — chances racking higher for some good rain this weekend, supposedly starting Friday afternoon (maybe 80 percent chance Friday night) and lasting through Sunday. Winds are way-calm, too, which makes the heat stick awhile. Not calm and highly, disgustingly sticky: ‘Two members of a…
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…
