Overcast, damp and gray this near-noon Thursday on California’s north coast, awaiting the weekend and some rain. The NWS issued a ‘Hazardous Weather Outlook‘ this morning, which warns not just for the amount of precipitation (light-to-moderate), but also the season’s first real-rain fall — making ‘…the roads very slick.’ In the not-so-glib category, coupled with…
Overcast with some low, patchy fog this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, and chilly, too. And on the weather agenda, maybe our first real rain for the season coming this weekend, with the NWS predicting ‘Rain Likely’ for Sunday and supposedly into the middle of next week. Yesterday, California nabbed the hottest spot in the…
Way-warm this Sunday afternoon on California’s north coast, with plenty of sunshine toasted slightly by a bit of ocean breeze. Near-about good-as-it-gets in these parts, and a lot warmer than I earlier figured — just a little while ago, took my daughter’s Corgi, Kuru, on a walk and actually felt sweat. Rare, and me, too,…
Overcast with an occasional glare of sunlight this early Thursday on California’s north coast, with most-likely the continuing scenario of near-clear skies this afternoon. We’ve a decent chance of rain tomorrow, but probably not… Today also kicks off the fall season — the Autumnal Equinox — and although we’re forecast for cooler temperatures than normal, the…
Overcast and gray again this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, though, there was some sun near day-break, but way-gone now. Rainfall last month appeared near-normal, according to the NWS, which wasn’t much, but winter is quickly approaching as the service also released freeze/frost dates for the fall. This year is blazing by… Also going in…
Heavy-deep fog this early Friday on California’s north coast, and damp, too, with a chill announcing an approaching seasonal-change. Warm inland, though, as the weather continues… Also relating to a persistence of environment is our drought — a ghastly new study shows the dry is here for the way-long haul with emission levels fueling the…
Thick fog this early Tuesday on California’s north coast, maybe the most-dense in awhile. Meanwhile, the plot continues — from Climate Central yesterday: ‘In what has become a common refrain this year, last month ranked as the hottest August on record, according to NASA data released Monday. Not only that, but the month tied July as…
Bright sunshine with a bit of chilled air this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — a week ahead supposedly of clear skies and warming temperatures. Dog summer, maybe. And speaking/writing on warmth — a new study shows a heating-up environment won’t help California’s grasslands after all. Kai Zhu, a global ecologist and data scientist…
Foggy and chilly this early Friday on California’s north coast — to the east, sunshine occasionally acts like it’s burning through the gray, but the little-dab of bright fades quickly away into a deep-shade of pale. Mundane, but easy weather here, while back east in the stomping ground of my youth, Hurricane Hermine is creating…
Scattered-sunshine/scattered-overcast this near-noon Wednesday on California’s north coast, counting-down the hours til the end of summer. And for this particular stretch, I’d call it, a ‘summer of fog,’ or at least, ‘one-half-to-three-quarters summer of fog,’ as the last few weeks have been pretty gray. Not so with the innards of the state — hot, and…
