Overcast with some thick-gray, angry-looking clouds this early Monday on California’s north coast and we’ve got some chilled temperatures, too, also in the mix. Supposedly, this should be the weather picture for the next couple of days — no heavy rain until Thursday, and again, supposedly. Although pretty quiet for the West Coast over the…
Sunshine this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast, for a little while anyway, as the bright is buffered by decent cloud cover. Supposedly, a short break today with another ass-kicker rainstorm due tomorrow evening and into Friday — next nice, clear-weather day forecast maybe for Sunday. Nowadays, weather chit-chat ain’t idle. In a case of…
Overcast and getting darker this Monday afternoon on California’s north coast as we wait for another big rainstorm due anytime now — and reportedly some strong winds, too, to blow the wet all over everything. This whole week is scheduled for storm-after-storm, at least until Friday, but according to the NWS, no straight downpour: ‘There…
Cold, drizzling rain this near-noon Wednesday on California’s north coast and we’re expecting maybe some thundershowers later on toward evening. According to the NWS, we should catch a small break tonight and into early Thursday, but another round of wet weather due by the weekend — and then rinse, and repeat. Michelle Mead, warning coordination…
Rain and darkly overcast this early Monday, the real-start to 2016, and here on California’s north coast, we also commence another in our now-normal, on-going series of ‘conveyor-belt’ weather fronts. According to the NWS, at least two storms this week, the first started yesterday afternoon, and supposedly after a slight pause late tomorrow, another due…
Deeply-overcast and drizzling this noon Sunday on California’s north coast, as the whole region prepares for another roller-coaster weather ride. Big storm due in this afternoon and evening, first in a series supposedly packing way-more rain than snow, though, the mountain-tops already look good for the season (via The Weather Channel): ‘According to winter weather…
Clear, bright sunshine and not-so-cold temperatures this Wednesday afternoon on California’s north coast, enveloped in a nice stretch of outside-conditions this week — no rain forecast until Sunday. The NWS is ‘expecting quiet weather‘ to ring in the New Year. Then back to our rain-storm-business-as-usual weather, just badder (via NBC News): ‘But a Dec. 27…
Bright sunshine with a whole-lot of cold this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast as it appears we’ll be rain-free for a few days, with no wet stuff expected until next Sunday. You’d think after nearly three weeks of near-continuous rain there’d be more (via KPBS): ‘As of Tuesday morning, the average Sierra snowpack was…
Overcast with occasional sprinkles this early Sunday on California’s north coast, with more rain expected to spatter-through later today. Last week,the NWS released preliminary rainfall totals for November — a bit better than last year (5.30-inches vs 5.11 in 2014), but well under the average for a ‘normal‘ month (6.73-inches). Not much in the way of…
(Illustration: ‘California Redwoods3,’ by Will Borden, found here). In this neck of ground — the north coast of California — we’re whimsically-considered as secluded behind “The Redwood Curtain,” coined in reality of the ginormous trees making up that cloak fencing us off from the big, old and much-ugly world. The redwoods do make a fortress,…
