Chilly drizzle gaining momentum this Friday morning on California’s north coast. Supposedly, a goodly-rain storm about to sweep in from the south, and the outside looks very much like it. Maybe two-to-four inches for us along the shoreline, could bring up to seven-inches in the eastward mountains. Even with our current ‘conveyor-belt’ rainstorms, this El…
Occasional faded sunshine this early Thursday on California’s north coast, a quick-respite from rainstorms, and though the clouds are still thick and gray, those gusto winds have really evaporated. Last night, I dozed off into sleep with some turbulent, wind-driven rain hammering my apartment, but woke to an easy-calm daybreak. Clear skies by Wednesday —…
Overcast and gloomy-looking here this early Tuesday on California’s north coast. According to the NWS, ‘Rain Likely‘ today, accelerate slowly into ‘Heavy Rain‘ by tomorrow night, and accompanied by ‘Breezy,’ will continue in similar fashion, on-and-off for a number of days. Weather always a topic — in my neck-of-the-beach/woods weather can shift in minutes, and…
Bright sunshine this noon Monday on California’s north coast as we’re enjoying a colorful intermission to the ‘conveyor-belt’ rainstorms that’s been drenching the area the last few days. Another big storm forecast for tomorrow night with the heaviest portion slated for Wednesday — until then we be savoring the moment. And out of this world,…
Thick, heavy rainfall carried by gusty winds this Saturday afternoon here on California’s north coast as a fairly-strong ‘atmospheric river‘ pours across the shoreline. Started raining in earnest last night, and with only occasional short, dark spaces of dry, has been continuously hammering down all day. The NWS advises thunderstorms with small hail could accompany the…
Glaring sunshine this early Tuesday on California’s north coast as we chill through another break in the so-called ‘weather‘ — no rain expected until Friday afternoon. When I started this blog, ‘Compatible Creatures,’ nine years ago, my main topic was war — probably the vast majority of my post-topics reflected military mayhem waging in nearly…
Overcast with occasional bursts of bright sunshine this Friday morning on California’s north coast. We had a goodly downpour for a couple of hours starting just at first light, more than an inch it appears, according to the NWS thingy. And then just quickly throttled way back — still heavy-cloudy, but with some gorgeous sun…
Rainy, windy and chilly, all at the same time this late Thursday morning here on California’s north coast as our wet season continues after a nice, warm respite the last couple of weeks. Despite some heavy rain on occasion, and according to the NWS, wind gusts to 45 mph, this storm doesn’t seem intense as…
Overcast with thick storm clouds, coupled with a gusty wind this early Wednesday on California’s north coast. Supposedly, we’re in for a good-sized drenching sometime today and to continue on into Thursday — and snow, too, maybe two-to-five inches at some higher elevations. Despite it all, once again we’re cooking — via Climate Central: ‘This…
Fog with a bit of sunshine every-once-in-a-while on a Tuesday afternoon here on California’s north coast — a little chilly, but not unpleasant, seemingly feels seasonal, maybe spring or early summer. Some rain forecast for tonight and tomorrow, and another system due supposedly for Friday. Cold fronts both, according to the NWS, a low pressure…
