‘Atmospheric’ to the ‘Vortex’

Water, and more water from the sky this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast — the NWS calls it ‘Heavy Rain,’ and it has indeed been that for several hours now. Supposedly, another cycle right-behind this one, bringing more ‘Heavy Rain‘ until sometime tomorrow afternoon. Starting Friday, though, fair, sunshine days expected through the weekend, maybe…

‘Global warming and “an extraordinary departure from the norm”’

Overcast this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast, with rain expected at any minute — supposedly rain until Saturday, at least, and some forecast to be fairly-decent in downfall. And cold-as-shit this morning, too. However, we on the shoreline are under an NWS ‘Frost Advisory,’ vs a few miles inland, and a ‘Freeze Warning.’ A degree-or-two…

‘Tipping Points’ to Reality — T-Rump and Climate

Sunshine shines right now this Monday morning on California’s north coast — rain again this afternoon (about 40-percent chance), and supposedly a nice stretch of clear skies by Thursday, and brightly, hopefully further  on into the weekend.

‘Practically Kiss Each Raindrop’ — Green lawns Live!

Sunshine this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, and supposedly should be another awesome day, clear and dry — yesterday was near-spectacular, even warm late in the afternoon. Some rain, or drizzle probably, forecast for tonight/tomorrow morning, but no real big shit until Saturday. Last month, the region got historically drenched — numbers from Lost Coast…

Election Contradiction

High overcast with occasional stretches of blue sky, but no sun yet. We’re supposed to be clear this afternoon… In living with natural weather, we’ve also had to ‘weather,’ as in ‘cope,’  with a terrifyingly-horrible presidential election cycle — all despite the reality. This morning, Commerce Department data showed a 2.9-percent annualized increase in GDP,…

Unfair Rainfall

Steady downpour this early Thursday on California’s north coast — right now with rain coming straight down, the storm is maybe-directly overhead, apparently stalled in barely-noticeable wind. Heavy at times, it’s been raining nearly-continuous since late last night, dousing a lot of water on us. Our weather lately strongly-influenced by moisture from typhoons out of…

Hot September — Continuing ‘Freakish Global Warmth’

Sunshine this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, as apparently we ease out of the wet and into the dry and warm — supposedly above-average temperatures the next couple of days. Rain maybe toward the end of the week. According to five-day rainfall totals from the NWS out this morning, my little spot in Mckinleyville received…

AR Weather

Rain and rain this early Monday on California’s north coast as the first major storm of the season plops its way across the region — supposedly, we’re on the final shower this morning as one of those ‘atmospheric rivers (ARs)‘ has been washing us clean. Via the Times-Standard last night: “Right now we’re on the back…
