Clear and bright this Thursday morning on California’s north coast, and chilly, too. A goodly-sized rainstorm forecast for Saturday, maybe more than a half inch of rain, followed on its heels by another front carrying supposedly an-inch-and-a-half of the wet stuff. And a warning for beach-goers from the NWS: ‘A building northwesterly swell will impact…
Soft rain this Monday morning on California’s north coast, maybe a rung lower than drizzle, as our latest storm front seems to be finally dying out, even after yesterday’s beautiful, bright afternoon. Light-rain came at dark, accompanied by sporadic, though, horrific-sounding thunder, and has continued since. Also horrific, quote of the day: “This is the…
Breezy-bright sunshine and rolling, blustery clouds this near-noon Wednesday on California’s north coast. The rainstorm from last night gone this morning — leaving a small, barely-damp footprint, and a clear, sparkling sunrise. Photo at the right is a sky-shot off my back patio a little-bit earlier, an overall epitome-picture of the weather around my abode…
Bright sunshine and a cool Pacific breeze this late Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast — no rain forecast until at least the first part of next week. The season does cometh, though, and right now there’s memory’s worth of pleasure in the vivid-clear, near-cloudless weather. Beyond expected rain and snow, the approaching El Niño…
Overcast cushioned with a moist-fog here this Friday afternoon on California’s north coast, and precipitation-warm, with rain still expected maybe tonight and into tomorrow. Forecasts call for just a quick rain patch, however, so small appears gone and dry-again by Sunday, predicted by the NWS to be ‘Mostly Sunny.’ Our drought continues, even though forecasts…
In contrast to the last few days, heavy fog this Thursday morning here on California’s north coast, but the surreal blob of sun staring out of the gloom seems to indicate all this will burn off before too long. Rain is still expected for tomorrow night and Saturday, and now cooler temperatures are supposed to…
Drizzle-as-rain this Saturday morning on California’s north coast, and although the liquid fog is barely moist, it’s still wet. According to forecasts at the beginning of the week, the storm is a couple of days early. Skies yesterday afternoon were pretty dark, the air warm, anticipation qualities for showers — from what I could tell,…
Bright sunshine and a warm breeze this Friday morning on California’s north coast, and although there’s a ‘slight’ chance of rain for this weekend, the odds are fairly low. The Pacific Ocean is another matter, though. The NWS this morning warns of large swells up to 15 feet along the shoreline, and beware: Beaches currently have…
Heavy marine layer shrouds California’s north coast this Tuesday morning, with the weather services calling it ‘overcast,’ but here along the shoreline the moist-mist is basic fog. Supposedly, the effect is to last into the afternoon. Good news as there’s a fairly-decent chance of rain this Saturday, though, like all other pronouncements in that regard,…
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,”…
