Thickly overcast with just a slight sprinkle this near-noon Thursday here in California’s Central Valley, and although we got rain-hammered last night, hopefully, the most-potent downpour is gone for a while. An ‘atmospheric river’ that collided with the coast yesterday will still play out in more wetness and subsequent flooding for days to come. Water…
(Illustration found here.) Drizzling rain and cold this early-evening Monday here in California’s Central Valley as wet weather continues on into the new year — we set rainfall records on Friday and Saturday for my area and according to our NWS regional office more heavy rainfall is forecast for this week. Up to an inch…
Thus, sing The Beatles — rain plus-more rain this miserable near-noon Friday here in California’s Central Valley as we’re on the leading edge of another ‘atmospheric river‘ gushing toward us from the coast. In fact, according to weather people, a couple of those environmental phenomena are forecast to be heading our way with a lot…
Thick, cold fog this late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — yet better off than a sizeable chuck of the US right now. A frozen bomb has put millions of Americans in the dark, and, in a near-unprecedented freeze. Despite all the huge, nerve-rattling political news this past week — seemingly two personalities gained…
Blustery, boiling winds this mid-morning Saturday here in California’s Central Valley, as we’re on the leading edge of a supposedly massive winter storm just now crashing into the West Coast — so far, we’ve just mostly caught the wind (some right showers last night), but in a bit, maybe by early afternoon, we’ll catch the…
Rain and cold, blustery wind this early-evening Thursday here in California’s Central Valley, an escapade in another indication the winter season is quickly coming into view — today the first phase of a series of storm systems forecast to sweep the state through the weekend. Summer is now just a wet memory. Our environmental stock…
Continuing nice autumn weather this late-afternoon Saturday here in California’s Central Valley — we’re having the best outdoorsy-days of the year lately and after last summer’s boiling temperatures, it’s a nice respite. However, meteorology like a shitload of other things depends near-completely on location. A horrible for instance — between where I’m located and Florida,…
In a seasonal move, instead of ‘heat domes,’ we’re now into hurricanes, typhoons, and ocean warming with the climate. Three such adventures this Saturday evening, one in the Atlantic, the other in the Caribbean, the last in the far Pacific — destruction and chaos: Two of my favorite climate/weather journalists Bob Henson and Jeff Masters…
Sunshine savored by a cool breeze this near-noon Tuesday here in California’s Central Valley, a welcomed turnabout from the awful summer heat, especially the blister from the last couple of weeks — temperatures right now in the mid-70s with maybe a high of 85 later on this afternoon. And of the weather influenced by climate…
Already in triple digits this near-noon Wednesday here in California’s Central Valley — extremely hot outside in the sun right now, such as even a sojourn in the shade sucks. All record-breaking shit. Supposedly ‘cooler‘ today (forecast high of 110, so ‘cooler‘ is way-relative or non-existent) as compared to yesterday: Even in this, I beg…
