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…
Bright sunshine this noon Monday on California’s north coast as we’re enjoying a colorful intermission to the ‘conveyor-belt’ rainstorms that’s been drenching the area the last few days. Another big storm forecast for tomorrow night with the heaviest portion slated for Wednesday — until then we be savoring the moment. And out of this world,…
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…
Overcast-gray this early Friday on California’s north coast as our latest storm front readies itself — some occasional pellets of rain, more like strong drizzle. with the heavy stuff not slated until later on in the afternoon. As pre-stated from the NWS forecast this morning, ‘Rain Likely then Rain,’ and so it goes… Apparently, our…
High, fleecy clouds with lots of yellowed sunshine this early Thursday on California’s north coast as we roll through another not-unpleasant portion of our cock-eyed winter season. Rain forecast for tomorrow afternoon, a quick squirt, and clear Saturday with another short drizzle/rain spell, then back to quiet and warm supposedly for next week. Nice out…
Overcast with some occasional sharp sunshine this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, with rain still expected for Friday — could be more than half-an-inch, but we’ll just have to wait and see, huh? In local ocean news, apparently a horrible ‘wasting disease‘ attacking sea stars (or, ‘star fish’) all along the Pacific coast, has…
Glaring sunshine this early Tuesday on California’s north coast as we chill through another break in the so-called ‘weather‘ — no rain expected until Friday afternoon. When I started this blog, ‘Compatible Creatures,’ nine years ago, my main topic was war — probably the vast majority of my post-topics reflected military mayhem waging in nearly…
Overcast with occasional bursts of bright sunshine this Friday morning on California’s north coast. We had a goodly downpour for a couple of hours starting just at first light, more than an inch it appears, according to the NWS thingy. And then just quickly throttled way back — still heavy-cloudy, but with some gorgeous sun…
