Storm-terrific this early Thursday on California’s north coast, with gusty winds and heavy rain, the season’s real opener. Just a short while ago, the wind eruptions were pretty-fierce, rattling the apartment’s woodwork, fluttering nearby tree limbs, and coupled with smashing-into-windows rain pellets, and presto — weather anxiety. Why the shit not? Personal observation, and from the…
In Paris this morning at the opening of COP21, the UN climate talks, and President Obama (Reuters): “What should give us hope that this is a turning point, that this is the moment we finally determined we would save our planet, is the fact that our nations share a sense of urgency about this challenge…
Drizzling rain and chilly this Monday morning on California’s north coast — the storm was something of a surprise as all indications last week seemed to show the front wouldn’t move through until Wednesday. So much for predicting the unpredictable sometimes. Along with the early rain, way-low temperatures (via KTLA): ‘According to the National Weather…
Brilliant Friday morning here on California’s north coast, with clear sunshine and way-chilly temperatures — supposedly below freezing even along the shoreline, much-colder further inland. Clear skies maybe til Monday, reports the NWS, then another front, probably stretching out a few days — or not — another in a series of weather systems coming at us…
Clear and cold this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast, and a first this season, at least for my area, frost seen on surrounding rooftops. Indian Summer is history. The chill factor prompted the NWS to issue a ‘Hard Freeze Warning’ with temperatures tonight here along the shoreline near the 30s, while farther inland, temps maybe…
Rain and cold this late Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast — after earlier appearing to be disappearing, our current storm system made a chilled, wet re-appearance a little while ago, popping moisture pellets off the back patio. And quick-snap, winter’s first inhospitable tickle. Just rain so far in my neck of the shoreline, but…
After hanging afar all day, a moist and patchy-dense fog has finally settled itself down deeply here along the north coast — according to WunderBlog, ‘zero’ percent chance of rain for this locale, so it’s all bad-ass marine layer out there. No rain forecast until Monday. Although fog is way-normal for this area year-round, it…
Overcast coupled with a moist ground fog this early Friday on California’s north coast, and we’re reportedly to be dry through the weekend, the next decent storm forecast for late Monday, maybe Tuesday morning and supposedly could carry some weather weight. Snow levels may drop as low as 1,500 feet on Tuesday. According to a…
Clear and oddly warm this early Wednesday on California’s north coast. After some rainy/drizzly days, nice to experience a sharp, translucent morning unaccompanied by chilly temperatures — creates a somewhat amiable ambience to the air. Heavy-rain free for the next couple of days, supposedly ‘isolated thunderstorms‘ maybe, but seemingly just ‘patchy drizzle‘ until tomorrow sometime…
Drizzling showers this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast as the latest storm has dumped maybe half-an-inch or more since yesterday — mostly light rain, though, on occasion the wet stuff can pound down. Forecasts are for a dry period tonight though tomorrow afternoon, then another system scheduled later Wednesday evening. Par-for-the-course in ‘conveyor-belt‘ weather.…
