‘Steering’ by ‘Mother Nature’ — Rain!

Rain fairly-heavy at times this early Friday on California’s north coast, though, sunshine is predicted for tomorrow. Hurrah! Yet to be short-lived — just sunny Saturday and Sunday, rain coming back in earnest by Tuesday. And as for Monday? Apparently, up for grabs weather-wise. A heavy-rain season this year, one we were supposed to get…

Rain on Time

Drizzling rain and gray this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast — the cruising front of another ‘atmospheric river’ pounding its way northward. The NWS reports maybe three-to-five-inches of rain across the Lost Coast today, tonight and early into Thursday. Next glimpse of sparkling-sunshine hopefully-supposedly forecast for Saturday. Until then… Not only does long bouts of…

Rain Ruse

Misty-drizzle this Tuesday morning on California’s north coast, the tail-end of one storm, blended with the creeping-arrival of another. Supposedly, another wet front will be cruising onto the shoreline up here this evening and tonight, with rain forecast at least through the weekend. Earlier, I thought maybe it was dry enough to quickly-walk to Safeway…

Got Them Old ‘Groundhog’ Blues Again…

Rain and more rain this Friday morning on California’s north coast, and from all indications, this scenario will persist through the end of next week. Winds were gusting pretty-good during the night, but have way-calmed since daybreak, and it’s warm, which is a plus factor. Although we really do need the water, this rainy season…

Rain Again, Again

Gray-overcast and chilly this Tuesday morning on California’s north coast — sunshine now only a memory, tucked-away, never to return for most-likely a good-week or more. Damp ground fog earlier, but mostly already burned-off, leaving a wisp of moist in the air. Supposedly, a good-sized storm due in tomorrow evening, and could dump a semi-load…

AR Weather

Rain showers with an occasional burst of sunshine this Monday morning on California’s north coast, as supposedly the wet weather is expected to taper-off by late this afternoon, allowing maybe a much-drier week ahead. The last two/three-days, though, some fierce windy-storms, with high-velocity gusts. According the NWS‘ weather-conditions thingy, my spot near the airport topped-out…

Guarding a Hot Hen-House

As we’re pelted with cold, way-wet gusty winds here on the North Coast, the way-outside world is getting warmer, still. Just this morning at Scott Pruitt’s Senate confirmation hearing came this from T-Rump’s choice to the head the EPA: ‘“My personal opinion in immaterial.”‘ Near-about at the same time, the NASA and NOAA ‘jointly declared 2016…

Warming Rain

As we await the first of a series of heavy-wet weather starting maybe this afternoon, the driver of how our environment operates is getting hotter — global warming is supposed to be worldwide, right? The actual heater depends on location… Via the Guardian this morning: This type of question is answered in a very recent…
