Clear sunrise and cold air this early Monday on California’s north coast, we’re just a few degrees above freezing, and the morning feels it. Forecast is for rain by Thursday, or earlier, and wet on-and-off for the following few days — whether or not depends on the weather. In that insane vein, we do a…
Clear with a wisp of ground fog this early Friday on California’s north coast — and a cold chill accompanying a brightening sky to the east. We’re set supposedly for ‘mostly sunny’ through the end of next week before any chance of rain — yesterday afternoon blossomed into another warm, amicable episode in a mostly-dry,…
Glaringly-bright and warm this mid-afternoon on California’s north coast — according to the NWS, we’re supposed to be about 54 degrees right now, but it sure feels a bit more fervent. Dude, bright as the sunshine, we might need some groceries, as neatest-interesting news item I’d seen today was this report from NPR on why marijuana…
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…
Overcast with a damp ground fog this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, the weather pattern down to a science. Preliminary rainfall totals for January are out from the NWS, and for my area, we were about 25 percent of normal — I thought we were dry as a bone, but seemingly not, maybe the…
Overcast, fog-moist and quiet this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, and appreciate it or not, we’re quickly-churning through February, already a way-short, box-like month. Although expected to be ‘warmer‘ than yesterday, today’s NWS forecast for ‘partly sunny,’ actually means here on the coast, ‘mostly fog,’ and wet-chilly — similar to yesterday afternoon, when warm,…
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…
Our local-daily newspaper up here on California’s north coast is the Eureka Times-Standard, and one of the worse papers I’ve ever come across — readers know it too, the long-time nickname is the ‘Sub-Standard.’ Odd, too, this morning to see an item from the rag featured on the Google News headline page — first time…
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…
