Bow to Rain

Bright sunshine and clear skies this Monday morning on California’s north coast, as the bit of rain we felt this past weekend now only a memory. Supposedly, we get a respite today and tomorrow with another storm front due to move through the area Tuesday night — rain/showers expected every three-four days as we seem…

Rain and Cat 5

Overcast with some faded sunshine this Friday morning on California’s north coast, and a sense of a chill to the air — more than a sense, though, more like a reminder of October. Rain expected this weekend, but not much wetness predicted. And even though right now the ‘most intense hurricane ever recorded‘ in the…

Hot vs Hotter

Overcast with a strong marine fog influence this early Wednesday on California’s north coast with predictions for the gray-matter to burn off by early afternoon. Despite the dark layer, no rain expected until Sunday, then just a ‘slight chance’ if any. Yesterday turned out gorgeous, but for the year, still warming up. Last month was…

Bright sunshine and a cool Pacific breeze this late Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast — no rain forecast until at least the first part of next week. The season does cometh, though, and right now there’s memory’s worth of pleasure in the vivid-clear, near-cloudless weather. Beyond expected rain and snow, the approaching El Niño…

Dry Rain

Quickly-creeping overcast this Monday morning on California’s north coast — looks-likely we might be getting some ‘showers‘ anytime now as a storm front glides across the shoreline.

Rain Snow on the Drought

Overcast cushioned with a moist-fog here this Friday afternoon on California’s north coast, and precipitation-warm, with rain still expected maybe tonight and into tomorrow. Forecasts call for just a quick rain patch, however, so small appears gone and dry-again by Sunday, predicted by the NWS to be ‘Mostly Sunny.’ Our drought continues, even though forecasts…

Ocean, Rain, Snow — El Niño Still A-Coming!

Bright sunshine and a warm breeze this Friday morning on California’s north coast, and although there’s a ‘slight’ chance of rain for this weekend, the odds are fairly low. The Pacific Ocean is another matter, though. The NWS this morning warns of large swells up to 15 feet along the shoreline, and beware: Beaches currently have…

Seal Surreal

Heavy marine layer shrouds California’s north coast this Tuesday morning, with the weather services calling it ‘overcast,’ but here along the shoreline the moist-mist is basic fog. Supposedly, the effect is to last into the afternoon. Good news as there’s a fairly-decent chance of rain this Saturday, though, like all other pronouncements in that regard,…
