Sometimes bright, glaring sunshine this early Tuesday on California’s north coast as we skip merrily through a pre-spring ‘heat wave‘ this week, clear skies soaking up rays in the forecast — wet weather gone awhile. Supposedly, temperatures near 70 by Thursday/Friday. According to the NWS, there’s a high pressure forming up and hence the warmer…
Light drizzling rain this early Wednesday on California’s north coast as we hunker down for more ‘conveyor-belt’ action. According to the NWS this morning, three to six inches of rain could drench us heavily on-and-off until Saturday, creating flash flooding, especially with low-lying byways — poetic warning from our weather-service people: ‘It can be impossible…
Sunshine this early Thursday on California’s north coast as we enjoy a bright spot prior to an expected heavy-storm period to drench us the next week-to-10-days. Rain-dense ‘atmospheric river‘ system forecast for tomorrow, and supposedly will continue for awhile — to be cold and windy, too. Also bright is the seemingly new-found interest in the…
In the black-comedy/traveling-horror show of the GOP, the actual set-piece of the production occurred last night. The vacuum idiot-stare of crazed ignorance tells the tale. (Illustration: Chris Christie’s lost look and Internet reaction found here). In first viewing, the clip from last night of The Donald’s victory pontification-gibberish appeared average for the asshole, same twisted…
Thinly-overcast with some faded sunshine this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast as we continue with some warmth, too. Not like yesterday, where we reached 80 degrees in my neighborhood about the noon hour, but still warm enough to have windows open to the air. All along the north coast temperature records were set on…
Thick drizzling rain this Tuesday afternoon on California’s north coast as a slew of storm fronts are moving through our area this week — the NWS calling it ‘unsettled weather,’ with a cold front tonight and another on Thursday. Even as the world gathers in Paris for the UN climate talks, an idiotic distraction from…
Clear sunshine and a chilly breeze this early Monday on California’s north coast. A bright lull in rainstorms as we’re to expect a decent-sized front to blow through later today and continue through Wednesday. According to the NWS, a cold storm system could drop snow levels to nearly 1500 feet by Tuesday night, adding small hail…
Overcast a bit and cold this Wednesday morning on California’s north coast, sunshine showing itself often, but not enough. A slight chance of rain (about 15 percent), but doesn’t really look it. Today is Veterans Day, supposedly a time set aside to honor those who are serving/have served in the US armed forces. However, in…
Wet outside this Sunday morning on California’s north coast with rain becoming drizzle, then back to actual rain again — heaviest rainfall earlier in the dark, and now this particular storm-front appears fading away. And seemingly-maybe the season be upon us, more rain forecast for Tuesday night, or sooner. Weather-related: Another climate-change study — this…
A real-radical for this election cycle — in a post earlier today, I noted the hard-math concerned with avoiding the real-nasty aspects of climate change, and how most-likely the effort to reverse it would require a ‘World War II–style mobilization,’ and therefore comes Bay Area attorney, Mikelis Beitiks, who’s now after the retiring Barbara Boxer’s…
