Overcast-gray and chilly this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, and beyond the cloud layer, supposedly no decent rain till next week. Despite weird weather, T-Rump yesterday okayed the Keystone XL and Dakota Access projects: ‘“We will build our own pipeline, we will build our own pipes, like we used to, in the old days.”‘ An…
Rain showers with an occasional burst of sunshine this Monday morning on California’s north coast, as supposedly the wet weather is expected to taper-off by late this afternoon, allowing maybe a much-drier week ahead. The last two/three-days, though, some fierce windy-storms, with high-velocity gusts. According the NWS‘ weather-conditions thingy, my spot near the airport topped-out…
Bright and cold this early Monday on California’s north coast, the last day of pure-sunshine for at least a week or more — a series of three ‘atmospheric rivers’ are inbound, maybe starting tomorrow afternoon, and ‘a vigorous cold front‘ will accompany that first round Wednesday night. Rain make drought go away? Hopefully — Jay…
Rain and blustery wind continues this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, with another biggie-drench forecast for later this morning. The NWS has also warned the shoreline could experience wind gusts up to 45 mph, and heavy-duty rainfall expected — hang on, clear, sunshine weather supposedly coming by Thursday. In the midst of some hardcore…
Rain in buckets-full this early Monday on California’s north coast, and some blustery winds, too. Just another episode of the rain-laden storms sweeping across the West Coast this week, and apparently no end in sight until Thursday, then it’s only for a day or so, then once again the cycle starts all over again. Covering…
Rain-to-drizzle-to-rain again this Saturday morning on the storm-tossed northern California coast — under the sweep of several ‘atmospheric rivers’ for the next week to 10 days. According to the NWS, those storms will bring ‘copious amounts of moisture‘ to our area, from tonight through next Thursday — 5.5-to-12-inches of rain for Humboldt County, depending on…
Dark-thirty already this early Friday evening on California’s north coast, looming overcast the preview of some supposedly wet rainstorms this weekend — yes, ‘storms,’ as in plural, more-than-one, the first tomorrow night, the others coming Sunday.. And the cycles mostly of the ‘atmospheric river’ variety, i.e., continuous heavy rain and gusty winds. These southern systems…
Bright-sunshine and cold air this early Thursday on California’s north coast — right now, well into the morning, and we’re at just above freezing after striking a pre-dawn low of 29-degrees earlier. Dry and cold til Saturday, supposedly, when another rain storm comes thrashing through the area. And of rain and our drought, there’s new…
Sunshine bright and beautiful on an early Wednesday here on California’s north coast. A glaring respite to a string of storm systems that’s been rolling across our region — a couple of days of sun-and-semi-sun, then another heavy-soaking rain storm forecast for Friday, or early Saturday. And cold, too. Temperatures expected to take a hard…
A white landscape this early Monday on California’s north coast, snow flurries mixed with hail has left the area looking out of whack. Odd to see all white. Roadways, driveways, rooftops, the texture soft on top, cold and slippery underneath. According to the NWS this morning: ‘Coastal areas, even as low as sea level, may see…
