(Illustration: ‘California Redwoods3,’ by Will Borden, found here). Bright sunshine and gusty winds this near-noon Thursday on California’s north coast as we start a decent-sized episode of clear weather, an attitude supposedly to last until at least the middle of next week — according to the WunderBlog‘s weather thingy, the precipitation percentage appears on the…
A goodly part of California is the Pacific Ocean. Although just hugging our coast, the Pacific carries a shitload of influence all over, spread out vast to the west from where I’m sitting, and is apparently getting smothered. Climate change and the ‘other CO2 problem.’ Oceans absorb about a quarter of the CO2, changing the…
Bright sunshine, clear skies and warm temperatures this Monday morning on California’s north coast as we spin through another dry, heated episode. Yesterday was hot (relative, of course). Sunday’s high of 74 broke Eureka’s record of 67 set way-back in 1983 — up here in Mckinleyville, we also notched a 74-high (according to the NWS…
Overcast and sprinkling rain this early Thursday on California’s north coast, a respite from most-likely the strongest storm of the ‘season’ last night. In seemingly classic-weather style yesterday afternoon, heavy, gusty winds forewarned of the coming rain front — then rain pushed by the blowing-crazy air pelted down/sideways/every-which-way through the evening and night. We received…
Sunshine with a chilled breeze this early Wednesday on California’s north coast as we look forward to ‘a brief return to winter‘ tonight and tomorrow. The NWS predicts gusty winds with heavy rain, possible hail, thunderstorms, too. Last night, a surprise heavy rain about dark — didn’t expected it, and strong parts of the storm…
Overcast with sunshine trying to break free this early Monday on California’s north coast, and it’s looking better outside by the minute. We’re supposed to end up clear by this afternoon, and nice weather until mid-week when another short burst of rain is expected, then clear for awhile — maybe the next 10 days or…
Sunshine and a warm breeze this early Thursday on California’s north coast, as we pass through a short-mini heat wave. Right here along the shoreline we nearly reached 80-degrees (79) on Wednesday as a warming streak smacked the region/state real hard — Crescent City hit a record, too, as did much of Humboldt County (via Lost…
Warm and bright as indeed a micro-mini heat wave is upon California’s north coast — right now, near-noon, the WunderBlog weather thingy show we’re sitting just under 75 degrees, with a high today already of 77 or so. Apparently, we’ve peaked and cooler temperatures are already setting upon us — mainly due to a nice, though-chilled…
Scattered cloud cover with lots of sunshine this early Tuesday on California’s north coast as we continue into a week of heat — at least the next couple of days; supposedly, we might even reach 80 tomorrow, though, most likely the mid-70s or cooler if the winds arise with any intensity. Style of the coast…
Bright sunshine from the east here this Thursday morning on California’s north coast, while just west of Mckinleyville Avenue, within sight from my front window, lies a deep-gray fog bank, waiting to quash the dazzling light — been hanging there awhile, so maybe we’ll stay on the brilliant side of the line. Despite a seemingly…
