Steady downpour this early Thursday on California’s north coast — right now with rain coming straight down, the storm is maybe-directly overhead, apparently stalled in barely-noticeable wind. Heavy at times, it’s been raining nearly-continuous since late last night, dousing a lot of water on us. Our weather lately strongly-influenced by moisture from typhoons out of…
Rain splashing heavy on a Monday here along California’s north coast, the rainfall accompanied by some blustery winds, a situation supposedly here for awhile. In a Short Term Forecast this morning, the NWS predicts maybe a ‘rainfall rate around half-an-inch-per-hour‘ for some locations along the shoreline, which is a pretty-freaking load. Still a downward wet…
Sunshine this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, as apparently we ease out of the wet and into the dry and warm — supposedly above-average temperatures the next couple of days. Rain maybe toward the end of the week. According to five-day rainfall totals from the NWS out this morning, my little spot in Mckinleyville received…
Rain and rain this early Monday on California’s north coast as the first major storm of the season plops its way across the region — supposedly, we’re on the final shower this morning as one of those ‘atmospheric rivers (ARs)‘ has been washing us clean. Via the Times-Standard last night: “Right now we’re on the back…
Drizzling rain and gathering-darkly overcast this Thursday morning on California’s north coast, as we weather the first wet encounter/wave of a supposedly-terrific storm scheduled to collide with our coastline sometimes this evening or early Friday. According to the NWS, we’re forecast today to be ‘Heavy Rain and Breezy,’ but notches up a bit tonight to ‘Heavy…
Foggy-damp and chilly this early Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast, with a supposedly strong storm bearing down on us — heavy rain forecast for close to a week starting Thursday. Or maybe tomorrow, who knows? Seeking a respite from the hourly-updated horror of the 2016 presidential race, we’ll take a look at another horror…
Bright-sunshine again this near-noon Friday on California’s north coast, supposedly we’re due for about the same the next few days. Meanwhile, way-to-the-east, the opposite in nature as Hurricane Matthew brutishly-swirls along the south Atlantic seaboard — sustained winds, 120 mph. Description of the complication of weather shit — Dr. Jeff Masters at WunderBlog this morning: ‘Matthew’s…
Sunshine’s glare this early Thursday on California’s north coast, and apparently we’re in for some nice weather for the next few days. As horrifying, massive Hurricane Matthew aims for Florida, climate change keeps blistering the world — in our neck of the woods, our biggest industry is not helping the environment recover. From TakePart yesterday: It…
Overcast this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, maybe some sunshine later. Last Friday, the state’s water year 2016 ended, and no surprise, drought continues. Via Sci-Tech Today on Monday: “If you had to put a one-word descriptor on this water year, it would be ‘dry,’” said Doug Carlson, a spokesman for the California Department of…
Sunshine shocker this early Friday on California’s north coast — overcast-gray just an hour ago, but at least for a little while we’re going to enjoy maybe the last of the sun for a few days. Rain expected pretty-much until near-about middle of next week, a big supposed big storm Sunday/Monday — the NWS says 50-percent…
