Rain pelts hard, then drizzles off into just hanging moisture — long-overcast clouds this early Monday appear ready to burst here on this little stretch of California’s north coast. And those clouds do occasionally open, but after a short-quick lashing of big droplets, making big spatters on my back patio, the rain lingers briefly only…
Dark with a thick overcast in mid-afternoon here on California’s north coast, ‘rain likely’ so says the NWS and most-likely it will, but who’s to know? Beyond/besides just a warming planet, this yesterday in the Guardian reveals humanity’s plight hinges on more than climate: A stark depiction of the threat hanging over the world’s mammals,…
Heavy rain and way-gothic winds this early Thursday on California’s north coast — I can’t see the clouds at all, just a black way up there. And earlier, some pointed lightning flashes, and seemingly close-up, too, but no thunder. Sort of rare event maybe, and most-likely some people further inland got momentarily scared shitless. Back…
Considered ‘partly cloudy,’ right now, though maybe in a few minutes the word, ‘partly,’ will be replaced by its opposite, ‘wholly,’ as heavy rain is forecast for this afternoon on this little stretch of California’s north coast — more ‘partly cloudy‘ due tomorrow, with rain rainfall supposedly lessening. In the scope of politics and climate…
Rain and more rain this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast, but we get breaks between downpours, sometimes even with sunshine, but nothing like down in LA County — Meteorologist Curt Kaplan: ‘“Yesterday, we had six straight hours of rain.”‘ So much so, records shattered dating to 1961. And with all that wet, the inevitable…
Thick overcast this early Tuesday on California’s north coast as rain continues its work, though, the NWS calls it ‘showers‘ and not actual full-blown rain. Drizzle? Down south in the Bay Area this morning, however, precipitation is considered ‘heavy rain,’ and has already caused a shitload of ‘crashes, traffic hazards and flooding,’ and should lighten…
Sunshine splashed with clouds this Monday afternoon on California’s north coast — only rain so far was early this morning, but more is expected before this particular front calls it quits. One of the big news items as of right now has been going on for nearly six months — the insane drop in oil…
Drizzling rain and thickly-overcast this early Sunday, the last day of November, here on California’s north coast — we’re feeling the trailing remnants of a big storm now sweeping southward. So big the weather-front, counties south of the Bay Area opened ‘sandbag stations,’ in case of flooding off the storm — so ‘uncommon lately,’ TV…
Overcast and rainy-looking on California’s north coast this early Thursday — i.e., Thanksgiving — as well as it should be, a big storm is supposedly swirlin’ our way. According weather reports, the storm is the biggest in years, for this time of year and in a short space — we could get up to three…
Approaching the evening of one gorgeous Tuesday — weather-wise — here on California’s north coast with clear skies, temperatures in the mid-60s, and forecast for an even warmer tomorrow. Rain penciled-in for Thanksgiving, though, and supposedly another big storm by Friday. Right now, it’s cool. A cheap-gas holiday ahead, however, not cool, for the road…
