Heavy marine layer shrouds California’s north coast this Tuesday morning, with the weather services calling it ‘overcast,’ but here along the shoreline the moist-mist is basic fog. Supposedly, the effect is to last into the afternoon. Good news as there’s a fairly-decent chance of rain this Saturday, though, like all other pronouncements in that regard,…
Seemingly unusually-warm, at least to me, this Sunday afternoon on California’s north coast — just a bit earlier, taking my daughter’s dog for her afternoon constitutional also carried a sense of close-to-hot. On a news surf just now, the Guardian‘s front page gave my shoreline-spot temperature as 83-degrees. I figured no-freaking-way. According to the Eureka…
Overcast with thick fog this Thursday morning on California’s north coast, and with the month of October, the fall season is apparently becoming more settled, with winter a short, hot-tamale away. Heat the chart-topper: According to WXshift, the autumn season for our shoreline region up here has been warming-up since the early 1970s — in…
After months of ignorance, my first photo off my digital camera I purchased ten months ago — a standard, low-tech and supposedly simple Vivitar DVR 410, but apparently still beyond my grasp. In all the instructions and whatnot, nary a word on an ‘external memory card,’ which puts the plain in ‘simple.’ A friend of…
Another bright, sunshine afternoon on California’s north coast, rain now only a quick-memory as temperatures are expected to go warm again, especially in the interior valleys — still, ocean-breeze cool along the shoreline with some location-highs supposedly in the low-70s. And of California’s “super” saver (via the Washington Post): ‘“El Niño is a cruel system,”…
Although some ‘isolated showers‘ are forecast for this Thursday afternoon on California’s north coast, right now it’s warm with big, fluffy clouds and lots of sunshine. Rainfall totals for our area aren’t available yet, but we felt a couple episodes of heavy downpours yesterday, and I could hear rain pattering early this morning. Hopefully the…
Actual, real rain this early Wednesday, splashing across California’s north coast, and not just here, but this is a supposedly-goodly storm for northern California, bringing some way-needed wet. Rainfall totals along the shoreline are hard to judge, but from weather maps, the wet looks real-wet for all of the region, and some strong winds, maybe…
Overcast and humid near-noon Tuesday on California’s north coast, and although there’s rain forecast for tonight, earlier this morning was bright sunshine and clear skies. However, it didn’t take long for the cloud coverage to envelope us, and here along the shoreline we’re predicted for less than half-an-inch of rain in this the first ‘serious’…
Thickly-overcast this near-noon Monday on California’s north coast — actually felt the first drop of rain this season walking back from Safeway earlier, a quick-dash on my hand, then a light, but obvious pelting for a few minutes. Although forecasters were calling for rain tomorrow night, usually it comes sooner. This week, a fast-moving storm…
A deep-wet gray Wednesday morning here on California’s north coast as a semi-normal weather pattern has returned, though, a bit warmer than usual. The NWS calls it ‘dense fog,’ and that pretty-much nails it, as outside earlier was the ‘densest‘ I’ve seen so far this year, at least around where my little homestead (apartment) is…
