Left-Coast weather continues to be the closest-biggest big news item of this weekend as a massive, wet storm continues unchecked: ‘“The heaviest main band of the rain looks to stall now over L.A. County,” meteorologist Ryan Kittell of the National Weather Service office for Los Angeles said at a briefing Sunday. “That’s a lot of…
Low, thick, gray clouds and cold air this late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley – once again we’re awaiting another ‘atmospheric river‘ (AR) to come crashing onto us, bringing rain and more rain. Expected beginning maybe tomorrow evening through Monday morning, the incoming AR is reportedly way bigger than last Wednesday/Thursday’s episode. Although we…
Deeply-overcast and humid this late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley as we await a wet, wild weather front coming our way — earlier today the fabled “pineapple express” surging out from warm Hawaiian waters dropped into/onto coastal areas and it’s only matter of time. Reportedly, the valley will be getting rain and wind off…
Bright sunshine with comfortable temperatures a few minutes past the noon hour Friday here in California’s Central Valley — again, a nice ending to a rather nice work week as we stagger into the autumn season. And according to a UN report out today, we’re more than staggering into bad climate-change times if mankind doesn’t…
Lazy-warm late-afternoon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — despite boiling-like scorching temperatures just about worldwide (especially tight now in the Eastern US), we’re experiencing a cooler-than-normal summer-into-fall transition, and it’s nice. Although our situation right now doesn’t necessarily mimic the reality of Earth — climate change is no-shit a full-bore danger upon us —…

Overcast and humid this near-noon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — we’re awaiting the impact from former Hurricane Hillary, now categorized a tropical storm, in the maybe form of rain and wind. Although the biggest Hilary splash will be south and east of us (southern Cal, and Nevada), there’s an unknown mystery to all…
Humid and hot this near-noon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley — hopefully this will be the final triple-digit days for at least a while as we venture into less warm episodes, though, in no way could it be categorized as anything approaching ‘cool,’ just less scorching. Oddly enough, we could get rain by Sunday…
Overcast with an occasional sliver of sunshine this noon Friday here in California’s Central Valley — although still quite warm and humid, the heat is on a downward slant today, which makes summer in these parts much more bearable. Heat nowadays is in a localized perspective. In the guise of living history, the wildfires now…
Warm with a hot breeze this noon Sunday here in California’s Central Valley — we’re starting a small run of triple-digit temperatures for a few days (high of 105 forecast for today), but we’re still not boiling like Arizona. In fact, we might be feeling cooler compared to last year for some odd reason, which…
