Overcast and chilly this early Wednesday on California’s north coast — the NWS forecasts ‘isolated showers,’ which is short for ‘on-n-off drizzle,’ though, we’re scheduled for some decent downpour any time starting right about now. Anyone living near a shoreline feels the influence of the wind, which is generally temperature-fueled by ocean water — a…
Thick cloud coverage this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — looks like we’re in a wet period, with showers, drizzles, and maybe some actual real rain, in the forecast for the next week to 10 days. Two major news items already, both affiliated with the inherent chaos in nature — one grounded, the other,…
Clear and windy this afternoon on California’s north coast — some dark clouds over the mountains, but the gusty breezes keep them floating further to the east, leaving us near the shoreline clear as a bell. Rain again maybe tonight and tomorrow, with a goodly storm inbound on Wednesday with downpour widespread and “…will be…
Rain for a change on California’s north coast this early Monday, seemingly more like a drizzle now, but dribbling sounds off the gutters indicate water volume has been decent enough — lived in this apartment so long I can recognize rainwater totals off ping-pang-pop of its external rooftop drainage system. Apparently, the heaviest of the…
Low-overcast merging with some ground fog this early Sunday on California’s north coast, but feels a bit warmer, most-likely a 20-percent chance of rain this evening the reason — most of the time, wet weather means warmer weather…usually. The NWS forecasts the same rain percentage until Wednesday, descending to a ‘slight chance of showers‘ through…
Bright sunshine and gusty wind this afternoon on California’s north coast — skies clear as a chilled-bell with that breeze pretty-blustery at times. Shoreline weather ’round these parts is mostly one of two types — overcast/fog, or cloudless with a bite-to-it wind. Local weather conditions usually lead most of my posts, which comes from just…
Hazy sunshine this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, but from all appearances so far this morning, we might have a full day of clear, or ‘mostly‘ clear skies, and if like previous days, a good wind is due up this afternoon, carrying some sharp, chilled gusts. The NWS calls for ‘mostly sunny‘ the rest…
Clear and sunshine this afternoon on a small stretch of California’s north coast, a breezy wind keeps the clouds away. Last week, Gov. Jerry Brown set forth a self-proclaimed “very high bar” on climate change with some new statewide targets for emission reduction — in line with those adopted by the European Union last year, which…
Hazy sunshine this afternoon along California’s north coast with fog apparently just waiting to cover the sky — nice with a cool, brisk breeze right now, but the light is fading on us. Odd how the darker it gets here in mid-afternoon, that some natural instinct in the brain (maybe just my brain) thinks also…
Some clear sunshine arising this early Monday on California’s north coast as we look forward to a supposed string of days ahead of ‘mostly sunny‘ skies and fairly-warm temperatures. Entering the last week of April in a year seemingly already slid-gone like a greased asshole — and today’s Monday again, and as a retiree (a…
