Gray-overcast and cold this early Friday on California’s north coast, yet supposedly doesn’t spell what’s coming, weather-wise — sunshine and warmth, maybe up into the mid-70s by Sunday. Meanwhile: Bob Henson at WunderBlog yesterday afternoon: ‘The next winter storm will intensify into a powerhouse east of New England on Thursday and Friday, with surface pressure deepening…
Mostly-hazy sunshine this afternoon on California’s north coast, but on occasion the air is way-bright, and warmer than chilly, which is good. Some bad climate news today (nothing new) with droughts now plaguing the American Southwest predicted to get worse — real worse, like out of the Middle Ages worse. Via Scientific American: But a…
Sunshine overshadowed by a few lumbering clouds this afternoon on California’s north coast — and chilly, too. A big, big twist lately in our ‘normal’ temperature for winter has been those ‘atmospheric rivers’ involved with rainstorms out of the southern Pacific — a warmth not found in our usual Alaskan-born systems. Warm is the new…
Cloudy with peek-a-boo sunshine this early Tuesday on California’s northern coast, and from the east, red sky at morning, all the world’s a warning. Rainfall totals from the NWS shows we received nearly 3.5 inches of rain in five days — that’s semi-non-official, and the real, actual total will probably be higher. Wind gusts the last…
Windy on California’s north coast this early Saturday, and although in drizzle form right now, on occasion rain does spatter heavy for a little bit. Here in Mckinleyville, not too far from the shoreline, wind gusts up 47 mph were recorded earlier, with rainfall totals probably climbing through today near three inches. Right as water…
Overcast this afternoon on California’s north coast as we await a ‘significant rain event‘ later tonight or tomorrow by virtue of a large, heavy-duty storm which could drop maybe a foot of rain on us. Batten down the hatches! In a related climatic note, a recent study has revealed the American Pika rabbit/hare is disappearing…
As the earth continues to warm, oceans especially, the higher temperatures create strange, sometimes horrible glitches in the system, the natural order of living is thrown out of whack — up here along Humboldt County’s shoreline, we’ve also seen the effects. Along with the “sea star wasting syndrome,” a disease attacking ‘star fish‘ in Pacific waters…
Thick, gray clouds, hanging low this early Friday on California’s north coast — and a bit on the cold side, too, with a slight, chilled breeze. Supposedly, though, we’re to receive heavy sunshine sometime today, and on into tomorrow, maybe rain by late Sunday. Weather forecasting, however, and like a lot of other assorted shit,…
Overcast and cold with a hint of light to the east — early Tuesday here on California’s north coast, and what’s the NWS-difference between ‘mostly cloudy,’ and ‘partly sunny,’ and who/what makes that subtle distinction? Meanwhile, and right now, a huge, monster storm is bashing the US eastern seaboard, and although New York City “dodged…
Clear and cold this early Monday on California’s north coast — the last week to a seemingly way-fast month. As we struggle through a ‘heat wave‘ up here, far to the east, cold-ass shit is about to hit a hard-blowing fan. From The Weather Channel: ‘Winter Storm Juno will transform from a clipper-type system, which…
