Overcast and a period of rain-relief this early Friday afternoon on California’s north coast, as the becoming-usual atmospheric river continues to drench the region. According to the NWS, we could get four-to-six inches of rain in another storm front expected to glide through here staring this afternoon, maybe eight inches in the northeast corner of…
Rain the key ingredient this early Thursday morning on California’s north coast — the NWS advises fairly-gusty wind is scheduled to accompany more of that noted component this afternoon, the storms seemingly continuing indefinitely, at least until way-into next week. Our weather, our climate, especially in the nowadays, and so distinct, influencing the future — the…
Clear as a bell and still way-chilly this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast — this morning cold as dog shit, below freezing for the first time, with frost covering rooftops. Supposedly this should carry through today and on into tomorrow morning, but by late Wednesday afternoon, another storm front is scheduled to cycle through…
Surprise, surprise this early Monday on California’s north coast — sunshine! And cold, too. One distinguishing mark with rainstorms is warmth, even if flowing from Alaska-way, and when clear the temperature goes down. Today’s not rain free, however, as big, ominous clouds still can be seen hovering just to the east, and we’re forecast for…
Heavy, relentless rain this early Sunday on California’s north coast — strong downpours all morning especially right before first light, in less than an hour we reportedly collected nearly three-quarters-of-an-inch of rain, a shitload in a hurry. According to the NWS/FAA weather-thingy, we experienced a power-in, power-out for about 90 minutes, and seemingly with normal…

This morning, too, a decently-heavy hail volley for a few minutes, which rattled the timbers, so to speak — the NWS confirms. The…
Dark and rainy this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast, and a hard rain, too, as an ‘atmospheric rivers (AR)‘ situation currently pile-drives through the region. Weather forecasts (and a peek outside my apartment) appear to indicate a thick-series of storm fronts will create heavy rain, indulged by gusty winds over the next couple of…
Thick drizzling rain this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast as a slew of storm fronts are moving through our area this week — the NWS calling it ‘unsettled weather,’ with a cold front tonight and another on Thursday. Even as the world gathers in Paris for the UN climate talks, an idiotic distraction from…
As COP21, the UN climate talks in Paris starts its second and final week of negotiations today, the outcome for people alive on earth right now is not so bright, despite any-type result from the conference. Even maybe for those yet unborn… In the face of that, rare, positive news (via Stanford.edu) — a new…
In a seemingly-short respite, sunshine this early Friday on California’s north coast as get a rest from the ‘conveyor-belt’ rainstorms that have rolled across our region since maybe forever — according to the NWS, another strong system with heavy rain and ‘gusty south winds‘ will strike again starting tomorrow afternoon and lasting through Sunday, as…
