Heavy fog again this Friday morning on California’s north coast in a repeat of yesterday’s early weather, and if the plan goes accordingly, we’ll soon have clear skies with a warm afternoon. Of course, today is the 14th anniversary of the World Trade Center horror — and the feelings of all Americans are caught up…
Bright sunshine and warm air this Tuesday morning on California’s north coast — we’re supposedly in for a warm streak again this week with temps maybe up in the low-70s here at the coast, 20-degrees higher within interior valleys. All considered above normal heat for this time of year — worse down south just a…
Foggy and a bit on the chilly side this Monday morning on California’s north coast — most-likely all will burn off later with sunshine and ocean breezes set for the afternoon. And today, of course, is Labor Day — if you didn’t know that, you are in need of some help — and supposedly a…
Sunshine and warm this Sunday morning along California’s north coast. Weather’s good, but the problem’s the mighty Pacific — according to the NWS, turbulent shoreline waters: ‘Surprising periods of larger sets of waves.’ Speaking of surprises — this morning, Fox News’ Chris Wallace knocked Dick Cheney off the fantasy cat-bird-seat: ‘“So in fairness, didn’t you leave…
Sunshine and a sharp ocean breeze this Saturday afternoon on California’s north coast — whipping into the Labor Day weekend and the unofficial end of summer. A short-burst of a summer, too. Rapid and unpredictable, maybe the words, or in the interest of financial markets, ‘volatile,’ and hopefully these aren’t infamous last words: ‘“As China…
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…
Overcast and way-humid this late Friday afternoon on California’s north coast as we look for some rain finally to swept across the region tonight and tomorrow. The NWS advises maybe between a quarter-to-half-an-inch of rainfall to douse us, but here along the shoreline, forecast/predictions blow in the wind. And today marks the 10th anniversary of Katrina…
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…
Overcast and way-humid this Monday afternoon on California’s north coast with the fog really, really wet earlier this morning as if there was a drizzle going on — not! Just way-wet fog, and appears more of the same for the rest of today. maybe some sunshine later on, but it appears doubtful. Although the NWS…
Gloomy-gray overcast this early Sunday on California’s north coast, and although I’m used to the days-long marine layer, this particular batch feels more miserable than usual — maybe after seemingly weeks-long bright sunshine-filled skies, this latest fog cycle has become achingly oppressive. Mix surreal smoke from burning giant, wooded-interior parts from all around where I’m…
