Overcast with occasional rain showers this near-noon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley with all the moisture buffered by some heavy winds blowing through the trees, making more frightful noises beyond the weather-minded environment. This season has been the shits. Currently, we’re feeling the thrust of the 12th ‘atmospheric river’ to have stormed the state…
Blustery, boiling winds this mid-morning Saturday here in California’s Central Valley, as we’re on the leading edge of a supposedly massive winter storm just now crashing into the West Coast — so far, we’ve just mostly caught the wind (some right showers last night), but in a bit, maybe by early afternoon, we’ll catch the…
(Illustration found here). As weather events are more and more being closely tied to climate change and the short shadow from the just-completed COP26 (which was another climate-action cop-out) is still weighing heavily in the brain, the storms in the Pacific Northwest keeps reminding all of us of a dire and precarious future close at…
(Illustration: Salvador Dali’s ‘Hell Canto 2: Giants,’ found here). Drizzle and cold-breezy this late-afternoon Thursday on California’s north coast — supposedly, rain later tonight, continuing tomorrow and on-through the weekend. The NWS, though, calls the precipitation ‘Showers,’ so it may not be such a heavy downpour. Sunshine perhaps on Sunday and hopefully-bright days to mid-next week. Right…
Water, and more water from the sky this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast — the NWS calls it ‘Heavy Rain,’ and it has indeed been that for several hours now. Supposedly, another cycle right-behind this one, bringing more ‘Heavy Rain‘ until sometime tomorrow afternoon. Starting Friday, though, fair, sunshine days expected through the weekend, maybe…
Thick, heavy rainfall carried by gusty winds this Saturday afternoon here on California’s north coast as a fairly-strong ‘atmospheric river‘ pours across the shoreline. Started raining in earnest last night, and with only occasional short, dark spaces of dry, has been continuously hammering down all day. The NWS advises thunderstorms with small hail could accompany the…
Overcast and getting darker this Monday afternoon on California’s north coast as we wait for another big rainstorm due anytime now — and reportedly some strong winds, too, to blow the wet all over everything. This whole week is scheduled for storm-after-storm, at least until Friday, but according to the NWS, no straight downpour: ‘There…
Howling wind blowing a future wet here this early Wednesday on California’s north coast as we get prepared for some heavy rain coming this morning and lasting apparently through the weekend. We are expected at least two inches of rain just today, and more as the storm plows through. Further south, the rainfall totals will…
Rain this early Friday on California’s north coast, and a storm that might put a small dent on our horrific drought — nearly 5 inches of rain expected, and bigger rainfall coming for the weekend. And with the noted “pineapple express” — temperatures warm and near-balmy are forecast for the region. Meteorologist Dr. Jeff Masters:…
