Sunshine burning-off some misty, thin coastal fog this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast as we continue unabated through some gorgeous weather — maybe tripled-digit temperatures away from the shoreline. Despite bullshit-asshole The Donald proclaiming last Friday: ‘“They don’t understand — nobody understands it,” he said, declaring at one point: “There is no drought. They turn…
Clear-warm sunshine made even-easier by a nice, gentle, ocean breeze — weather-portrait of a near-noon Tuesday here on California’s north coast, and according to the NWS this morning, ‘unseasonably warm‘ temperatures ahead for at least the next few days. The ‘heat‘ a big effect off a strong ridge of high pressure building across the region. Classic,…
Gray skies and a cool breeze this near-noon Wednesday on California’s north coast as we cruise through a period of ‘seasonal temperatures‘ and foggy mornings here along the shoreline. Yesterday, my fisherman ex-brother-in-law (and still very-good friend) presented me with some Dungeness crab he’d snagged somewhere in local waters, and just as the health-ban on…
Sunshine and a sharp, Arctic-like wind this Thursday morning on California’s north coast as a bit of ‘unsettled‘ weather enters the picture later today — according to the NWS, an ‘unusually strong late-season storm‘ is expected to be wet, but no ‘widespread washout.’ This system supposedly will peak over the weekend, and back to the…
Drizzling-gray this early Monday on California’s north coast, though, not-so-chilly this morning. Supposedly, clear skies with no heavy rain percentage until Thursday, and warm — the NWS warns, however, the heat wave will be ‘short lived,’ an ‘unusually strong late-May low pressure system‘ is expected to twist across the area by the end of the week,…
Drizzling rain this early Thursday on California’s north coast, softly and misty — opposite to a couple of hours ago when a nasty, but quick, storm front hammered its way across the landscape. Heavy-pelting rain with close-at-hand thunder caffeinated the senses just shortly after daybreak. According to the NWS, more than a quarter-inch of rain…
(Illustration: ‘California Redwoods3,’ by Will Borden, found here). Bright sunshine and gusty winds this near-noon Thursday on California’s north coast as we start a decent-sized episode of clear weather, an attitude supposedly to last until at least the middle of next week — according to the WunderBlog‘s weather thingy, the precipitation percentage appears on the…
Overcast and sprinkling rain this early Thursday on California’s north coast, a respite from most-likely the strongest storm of the ‘season’ last night. In seemingly classic-weather style yesterday afternoon, heavy, gusty winds forewarned of the coming rain front — then rain pushed by the blowing-crazy air pelted down/sideways/every-which-way through the evening and night. We received…
Overcast with sunshine trying to break free this early Monday on California’s north coast, and it’s looking better outside by the minute. We’re supposed to end up clear by this afternoon, and nice weather until mid-week when another short burst of rain is expected, then clear for awhile — maybe the next 10 days or…
Sunshine and a warm breeze this early Thursday on California’s north coast, as we pass through a short-mini heat wave. Right here along the shoreline we nearly reached 80-degrees (79) on Wednesday as a warming streak smacked the region/state real hard — Crescent City hit a record, too, as did much of Humboldt County (via Lost…
