Bright sunshine and warm air this Tuesday morning on California’s north coast — we’re supposedly in for a warm streak again this week with temps maybe up in the low-70s here at the coast, 20-degrees higher within interior valleys. All considered above normal heat for this time of year — worse down south just a…
Thick marine layer holding hard this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast — an unusual, heavy fog to last all day so far, and was even pretty moist earlier. Along with the fog, that surrealistic, forest-fire smoke influence to the skies, giving off a ‘twilight zone‘ tempo, or maybe what my barber told me this…
Sunshine and nearly-clear skies this Thursday morning on California’s north coast — we’re supposed to be warm again today with temps in the low-70s, but along the shoreline, though, there’s a wonderful ocean breeze that takes a lot of the heat away. Not really…just feels like it. In the heat of the moment, southern California…
Overcast with some occasional thin-ass sunshine this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast, and another mundane summer-weather episode for us. Not so last weekend down southern-California way — Science writer Bob Henson at WunderBlog this morning: Amazingly, the past weekend produced more rain in San Diego than the previous 100 Julys combined (1915–2014). This was also…
Bright, clear and windy this Friday afternoon on California’s north coast — supposedly we could reach the mid-70s sometime today, even as the entire region is apparently cooling off a bit after a run at some record heat. Part-n-parcel for the times: ‘Summer temperatures have already increased across the U.S. in recent decades; in the…
Sunshine peeks through the clouds this Monday morning, breaking the depressing fog-laced gloom of the last few weeks — yesterday’s sunrise actually had some shine to it, and Sunday afternoon was the best little weather spell in a while. Although the sunshine is intermittent, it’s way-better that the gloom of a massive marine layer wallowing…
Clouds by any other name is ground fog this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, creating a gloomy-gus gray at first light and supposedly, our mundane weather routine continues today with maybe some decent rain inbound for next week. Not dull, though, a 4.3 earthquake just after 3 this morning, located about 40 miles west-southwest of…
Overcast with a slight-chilled wind this Friday afternoon on California’s north coast — woke up too early and seemingly a bit under the weather. And the “super El Niño” reported a couple of weeks ago still seems to be on track, and with it not only an increase in the wildfire season for California, but…
Thick, darkly-gray outside this way-too-early Friday on California’s north coast — most-likely low clouds submerged with ground fog (if there’s such a circumstance) to create a moist, vaporous and uncomfortable-looking morning. We were forecast for some pretty-decent rain the middle of this week, but it failed to materialize, beyond the spattering on Monday, and the…
Overcast and chilly this early Wednesday on California’s north coast — the NWS forecasts ‘isolated showers,’ which is short for ‘on-n-off drizzle,’ though, we’re scheduled for some decent downpour any time starting right about now. Anyone living near a shoreline feels the influence of the wind, which is generally temperature-fueled by ocean water — a…
