Quiet in the pre-dawn dark this early Thursday on California’s north coast — ground fog keeps everything muffled in a moist, chilled blanket, and although we’re supposed to be sunny today, it took awhile yesterday for sunshine to cut through the gray. This close to the actual Pacific shoreline creates a weird bump sometimes in…
Near-crystal clear this early Monday on California’s north coast, a faint white streak peeking from the east, the moon hanging slightly above, like a fingernail in its ‘Waning Crescent‘ period, and supposedly, today should be ‘nearly the same‘ as yesterday, and if true, another beautiful one a-coming, weather-wise. And Sunday was a keeper — opened…
Gray-overcast and cold this early Friday on California’s north coast, yet supposedly doesn’t spell what’s coming, weather-wise — sunshine and warmth, maybe up into the mid-70s by Sunday. Meanwhile: Bob Henson at WunderBlog yesterday afternoon: ‘The next winter storm will intensify into a powerhouse east of New England on Thursday and Friday, with surface pressure deepening…
Mostly-hazy sunshine this afternoon on California’s north coast, but on occasion the air is way-bright, and warmer than chilly, which is good. Some bad climate news today (nothing new) with droughts now plaguing the American Southwest predicted to get worse — real worse, like out of the Middle Ages worse. Via Scientific American: But a…
Sunshine overshadowed by a few lumbering clouds this afternoon on California’s north coast — and chilly, too. A big, big twist lately in our ‘normal’ temperature for winter has been those ‘atmospheric rivers’ involved with rainstorms out of the southern Pacific — a warmth not found in our usual Alaskan-born systems. Warm is the new…
Cloudy with peek-a-boo sunshine this early Tuesday on California’s northern coast, and from the east, red sky at morning, all the world’s a warning. Rainfall totals from the NWS shows we received nearly 3.5 inches of rain in five days — that’s semi-non-official, and the real, actual total will probably be higher. Wind gusts the last…
After howling for hours, the wind about my little space of California’s north coast are way-more gentle this early Monday — supposedly we’re on the tail-end of the latest winter-rainstorms, and the moisture is expected to taper off this afternoon and evening. Sunshine maybe tomorrow — hopefully, later today. As weather dominates US news coast-to-coast,…
Anticipation this early Sunday on California’s north coast, awaiting another river-round of rain heading our way — winds sound on the increase, indicating the first pellets aren’t too far away. A supposedly potent storm, with wind a major factor this morning — a High Wind Hazard has been issued through tomorrow, wind gusts up to maybe…
Windy on California’s north coast this early Saturday, and although in drizzle form right now, on occasion rain does spatter heavy for a little bit. Here in Mckinleyville, not too far from the shoreline, wind gusts up 47 mph were recorded earlier, with rainfall totals probably climbing through today near three inches. Right as water…
Heavy rain pounding a fading-dark this early Friday on California’s north coast, a near-literal river of water started last night, been going ever since — supposedly, more than two inches today, a foot maybe overall through Sunday. And freakin’ windy, too — gusts of more than 40 mph could be expected today, with the bluster…
