Warm and bright as indeed a micro-mini heat wave is upon California’s north coast — right now, near-noon, the WunderBlog weather thingy show we’re sitting just under 75 degrees, with a high today already of 77 or so. Apparently, we’ve peaked and cooler temperatures are already setting upon us — mainly due to a nice, though-chilled…
Bright sunshine from the east here this Thursday morning on California’s north coast, while just west of Mckinleyville Avenue, within sight from my front window, lies a deep-gray fog bank, waiting to quash the dazzling light — been hanging there awhile, so maybe we’ll stay on the brilliant side of the line. Despite a seemingly…
A Monday with a Monday’s weather — heavy rain and wind here this morning on California’s north coast, supposedly continuing in similar fashion on-and-off until tomorrow. Rain didn’t get too dense until well after daybreak — according to the NWS, we could get maybe an inch today, and then drizzle-off into dry by Tuesday evening.…
Gray-moist change-of-pace this early Friday on California’s north coast — a switch from bright-sunshine daybreaks this past week, to a gloomy marine layer this morning that’s got us all fogged. However, just ‘normal‘ for Humboldt County. A preview for return to rain forecast starting this afternoon, beginning with the drizzle and ending with a fairly-decent…
Chilly drizzle gaining momentum this Friday morning on California’s north coast. Supposedly, a goodly-rain storm about to sweep in from the south, and the outside looks very much like it. Maybe two-to-four inches for us along the shoreline, could bring up to seven-inches in the eastward mountains. Even with our current ‘conveyor-belt’ rainstorms, this El…
Occasional faded sunshine this early Thursday on California’s north coast, a quick-respite from rainstorms, and though the clouds are still thick and gray, those gusto winds have really evaporated. Last night, I dozed off into sleep with some turbulent, wind-driven rain hammering my apartment, but woke to an easy-calm daybreak. Clear skies by Wednesday —…
Overcast and gloomy-looking here this early Tuesday on California’s north coast. According to the NWS, ‘Rain Likely‘ today, accelerate slowly into ‘Heavy Rain‘ by tomorrow night, and accompanied by ‘Breezy,’ will continue in similar fashion, on-and-off for a number of days. Weather always a topic — in my neck-of-the-beach/woods weather can shift in minutes, and…
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 awaiting some supposed-heavy rains this early Friday on California’s north coast — meanwhile, more than just idle chit-chat about the weather. From Slate yesterday: ‘As of Thursday morning, it appears that average temperatures across the Northern Hemisphere have breached the 2 degrees Celsius above “normal” mark for the first time in recorded history, and likely…
Overcast and chilly this mid-morning Wednesday on California’s north coast as we saunter through our rainy season, part two. After a long respite, maybe the next 10 days or so some heavy-wet rainstorms. Reportedly, starting this afternoon, or sooner, as with the NWS for today: ‘Chance Rain, then Rain.’ This weekend, though, a strong front with…
