Chilly drizzle gaining momentum this Friday morning on California’s north coast. Supposedly, a goodly-rain storm about to sweep in from the south, and the outside looks very much like it. Maybe two-to-four inches for us along the shoreline, could bring up to seven-inches in the eastward mountains. Even with our current ‘conveyor-belt’ rainstorms, this El…
Occasional faded sunshine this early Thursday on California’s north coast, a quick-respite from rainstorms, and though the clouds are still thick and gray, those gusto winds have really evaporated. Last night, I dozed off into sleep with some turbulent, wind-driven rain hammering my apartment, but woke to an easy-calm daybreak. Clear skies by Wednesday —…

According to the NWS, ‘Rain Likely‘ today, accelerate slowly into ‘Heavy Rain‘ by tomorrow night, and accompanied by ‘Breezy,’ will continue in similar fashion, on-and-off for a number of days.

Reportedly, starting this afternoon, or sooner, as with the NWS for today: ‘Chance Rain, then Rain.’ This weekend, though, a strong front with…

Overcast-gray this early Friday on California’s north coast as our latest storm front readies itself — some occasional pellets of rain, more like strong drizzle. with the heavy stuff not slated until later on in the afternoon. As pre-stated from the NWS forecast this morning, ‘Rain Likely then Rain,’ and so it goes… Apparently, our…
High, fleecy clouds with lots of yellowed sunshine this early Thursday on California’s north coast as we roll through another not-unpleasant portion of our cock-eyed winter season. Rain forecast for tomorrow afternoon, a quick squirt, and clear Saturday with another short drizzle/rain spell, then back to quiet and warm supposedly for next week. Nice out…
Glaring sunshine this early Tuesday on California’s north coast as we chill through another break in the so-called ‘weather‘ — no rain expected until Friday afternoon.
