Quickly-creeping overcast this Monday morning on California’s north coast — looks-likely we might be getting some ‘showers‘ anytime now as a storm front glides across the shoreline. According to the NWS, 30 percent before noon, then ‘Partly Sunny.’ According to WXshift, our rain totals have sloped in the last 45 years — in 1970, our…
Sunshine, some fleeting clouds and warmth this Thursday afternoon on California’s north coast — feels like summer out there. Yet January could be June where we’re at, or reversed. Hurricane Oho out in the central Pacific will create some 13-to-15-feet breakers along our shoreline tomorrow and this weekend — Oho will provide a ‘very unusual…
Seemingly unusually-warm, at least to me, this Sunday afternoon on California’s north coast — just a bit earlier, taking my daughter’s dog for her afternoon constitutional also carried a sense of close-to-hot. On a news surf just now, the Guardian‘s front page gave my shoreline-spot temperature as 83-degrees. I figured no-freaking-way. According to the Eureka…
Overcast with thick fog this Thursday morning on California’s north coast, and with the month of October, the fall season is apparently becoming more settled, with winter a short, hot-tamale away. Heat the chart-topper: According to WXshift, the autumn season for our shoreline region up here has been warming-up since the early 1970s — in…
Bright sunshine and warm skies this noon Wednesday on California’s north coast, and with the first day of Autumn, a new season to worry about the weather. At least according to the NWS, the environment is supposed to be some-type ‘sunny’ through the coming weekend, a seemingly lapse before the weirdness of winter and the…
Another bright, sunshine afternoon on California’s north coast, rain now only a quick-memory as temperatures are expected to go warm again, especially in the interior valleys — still, ocean-breeze cool along the shoreline with some location-highs supposedly in the low-70s. And of California’s “super” saver (via the Washington Post): ‘“El Niño is a cruel system,”…
Actual, real rain this early Wednesday, splashing across California’s north coast, and not just here, but this is a supposedly-goodly storm for northern California, bringing some way-needed wet. Rainfall totals along the shoreline are hard to judge, but from weather maps, the wet looks real-wet for all of the region, and some strong winds, maybe…
Sunshine and windy this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast — supposedly, a prospect of rain tonight, but as the NWS notes, a ‘Slight Chance‘ in the making. Reportedly, and thankfully, the various forest fires burning in northern California has decreased, with just a few of them still keeping fire fighters busy — a good…
Bright sunshine and a warm, gentle sea breeze this Monday morning on California’s north coast — supposedly up into the low-70s today, and appears so for the rest of the week. Way-beyond our so-called “supermoon” last night — dazzlingly-clear and seemingly transparent-looking from my vantage point, an original event: ‘This is the first recorded occurrence of…
Overcast again this Tuesday afternoon, though, clouds appear to be thinning out some, so maybe we could get some real sunshine before dark. And appears, too, we might get some rain on Friday, and hopefully on Saturday as well — the rain was originally forecast for Saturday, but as usual, the score has moved up…
