Wet Winter — Drought Buster?

Overcast and a period of rain-relief this early Friday afternoon on California’s north coast, as the becoming-usual atmospheric river continues to drench the region. According to the NWS, we could get four-to-six inches of rain in another storm front expected to glide through here staring this afternoon, maybe eight inches in the northeast corner of…

Sun Morning

Surprise, surprise this early Monday on California’s north coast — sunshine! And cold, too.

Rain Shaker

Mostly-clear skies and bright sunshine this Monday on California’s north coast, with the last of our latest rainstorm leaving the area earlier this morning — although there’s still a ‘slight chance’ of precipitation today, the look outside doesn’t reflect it. And it’s warm, too. Beyond rain was a 4.3 earthquake yesterday about 90 miles southwest of…
