Rain this Sunday morning, followed by more rain, then sunshine for a few seconds, quickly-swallowed by darkness and a drenching. Strongest storm so far this year — pretty heavy-sounding during the night, stroked by a clattering wind, prompting an earlier NWS ‘wind advisory.’ And another seasonal-overall advisory, too, with emphasis (LA Times): “It’s official. El Niño’s…
Clear and bright this Thursday morning on California’s north coast, and chilly, too. A goodly-sized rainstorm forecast for Saturday, maybe more than a half inch of rain, followed on its heels by another front carrying supposedly an-inch-and-a-half of the wet stuff. And a warning for beach-goers from the NWS: ‘A building northwesterly swell will impact…
Bright sunshine tempered with a chilly ocean wind this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast, and beyond a ‘chance of rain’ tomorrow, the next storm not slated until the weekend. Cold and clear this morning, as each day a chill creeps closer to shivery-frigid. Although ‘drizzle‘ the size/strength level of our last rainstorm, the sound…
Soft rain this Monday morning on California’s north coast, maybe a rung lower than drizzle, as our latest storm front seems to be finally dying out, even after yesterday’s beautiful, bright afternoon. Light-rain came at dark, accompanied by sporadic, though, horrific-sounding thunder, and has continued since. Also horrific, quote of the day: “This is the…
Rain weather this Sunday morning on California’s north coast — showers for awhile, then brilliant sunshine, then dark clouds and more rain, followed by a hole in storm skies and a break into near-flash brightness. Routine the process over and over. One neat feature of such weather here on this Humboldt County coastline is the…
A muted environment this late Saturday afternoon here on California’s north coast, though, just the ambience of storm clouds a-coming — supposedly, a fairly-decent rainstorm starting later this evening, maybe continuing all-day tomorrow, and could stay-steady until Monday. Along the shoreline, we’ll have to wait and see… Weather is mostly-predictable to a point, with a…
Mostly-clear skies and bright sunshine this Monday on California’s north coast, with the last of our latest rainstorm leaving the area earlier this morning — although there’s still a ‘slight chance’ of precipitation today, the look outside doesn’t reflect it. And it’s warm, too. Beyond rain was a 4.3 earthquake yesterday about 90 miles southwest of…
Bright and breezy this Thursday afternoon on California’s north coast — feels a bit cooler outside as the autumn season continues to shift right along. Rain supposedly Sunday and maybe on into Monday, though appears another short-lived front, so not much on the totals. Rain is part of the natural flow, of course, created from…
Breezy-bright sunshine and rolling, blustery clouds this near-noon Wednesday on California’s north coast. The rainstorm from last night gone this morning — leaving a small, barely-damp footprint, and a clear, sparkling sunrise. Photo at the right is a sky-shot off my back patio a little-bit earlier, an overall epitome-picture of the weather around my abode…
Overcast skies submerged into a deep, gray environment this Tuesday evening on California’s north coast, and although there’s only been a sprinkle of rain every-now-and-then, a fairly-big storm is due tonight. According to the NWS, we could get more than half-an-inch in this latest patch, with the next one due the middle of next week.…
