Stormy Monday

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…

ARs in the Air

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…

No ‘Hiatus’ in the Heat — Even in the Cold

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…

‘Good’ Pot

Glaring, bright sunshine this early Wednesday on California’s north coast, and still well on the chilly side, too. Supposedly the next couple of days, the weather will cooperate in a similar pattern with ‘Mostly Sunny‘ days, and cold temperatures — no rain forecast until the weekend, but we’ll have to wait and check-it-out. Also on…

‘The Worse People’ in Charge

Overcast-gray with some layered ground fog this early Tuesday on California’s north coast — sprinkles/drizzle forecast for sometime this morning. In context of the coming new year, and a newly-minted/old word I’d never heard of until intrigued by a post a couple of weeks ago at Digby — the word, Kakistocracy, ‘…a term meaning a…

Lamenting the Deplorable

Slivers of faded-yellow sunshine this early Thursday on California’s north coast — big rainstorm due this afternoon, and will supposedly drench-over into all day tomorrow. Weather the system, but not the climate — an unpresidented gloom in the T-Rump atmosphere: It is about the candidate who was picked as president by the electoral college on Monday.…
