Overcast with thick fog this Thursday morning on California’s north coast, and with the month of October, the fall season is apparently becoming more settled, with winter a short, hot-tamale away. Heat the chart-topper: According to WXshift, the autumn season for our shoreline region up here has been warming-up since the early 1970s — in…
Crystal-clear with way-bright sunshine and a chilly air this Monday morning on California’s north coast and the next few days are forecast for the same. Supposedly, temperatures should be warmer today, but a cool Pacific breeze will keep the lid on any heat. Our view of last night’s “blood moon”-lunar eclipse was extraordinary as predictions…
Another bright, sunshine afternoon on California’s north coast, rain now only a quick-memory as temperatures are expected to go warm again, especially in the interior valleys — still, ocean-breeze cool along the shoreline with some location-highs supposedly in the low-70s. And of California’s “super” saver (via the Washington Post): ‘“El Niño is a cruel system,”…
Although some ‘isolated showers‘ are forecast for this Thursday afternoon on California’s north coast, right now it’s warm with big, fluffy clouds and lots of sunshine. Rainfall totals for our area aren’t available yet, but we felt a couple episodes of heavy downpours yesterday, and I could hear rain pattering early this morning. Hopefully the…
Actual, real rain this early Wednesday, splashing across California’s north coast, and not just here, but this is a supposedly-goodly storm for northern California, bringing some way-needed wet. Rainfall totals along the shoreline are hard to judge, but from weather maps, the wet looks real-wet for all of the region, and some strong winds, maybe…
Overcast and humid near-noon Tuesday on California’s north coast, and although there’s rain forecast for tonight, earlier this morning was bright sunshine and clear skies. However, it didn’t take long for the cloud coverage to envelope us, and here along the shoreline we’re predicted for less than half-an-inch of rain in this the first ‘serious’…
Thickly-overcast this near-noon Monday on California’s north coast — actually felt the first drop of rain this season walking back from Safeway earlier, a quick-dash on my hand, then a light, but obvious pelting for a few minutes. Although forecasters were calling for rain tomorrow night, usually it comes sooner. This week, a fast-moving storm…
Bright sunshine and warm air this Tuesday morning on California’s north coast — we’re supposedly in for a warm streak again this week with temps maybe up in the low-70s here at the coast, 20-degrees higher within interior valleys. All considered above normal heat for this time of year — worse down south just a…
Overcast and chilly this early Friday on California’s north coast — along with the fog, forest fires are again contributing to the airwaves with the NWS calling for ‘Areas Smoke‘ for today and tomorrow. Unfortunately, as fire fighters contain one fire, another nearby starts and spreads.This morning, just as the Mad River Complex fire in south…
Thick marine layer holding hard this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast — an unusual, heavy fog to last all day so far, and was even pretty moist earlier. Along with the fog, that surrealistic, forest-fire smoke influence to the skies, giving off a ‘twilight zone‘ tempo, or maybe what my barber told me this…
