Windy conditions in the Southland

Some strong winds are whipping around the Southland today. It’s sunny, but very windy in the Media City this afternoon. I went out for a walk in the hillside area of Burbank this morning. The cold wind was enough to sway the palm trees, scatter debris in the streets, and force me to hold onto my cap. The temperature hovered in the upper 50s at around noon and by one […]

April showers!

More rain headed our way. Great for the lawns, gardens, and flowers, not so good for driving on the roads and freeways. Gloomy overcast skies in Burbank at noon. The chance of rain for the Southland remains in the forecast through Thursday. So keep the umbrella handy.

Sly Stone plays Coachella … sort of

Photo: Vanessa Franko/The Press-Enterprise 4/18/10 — Sly Stone on stage at Coachella The unpredictable rocker Sly Stone did show at Coachella last night, but his appearance was a disappointment. Stone showed up late, which he is known to do, and did more jabbering than singing.  Music Blogger Vanessa Franko caught the Stone set and reports about it here. The Inland SoCal journalist […]

Spring showers in the Southland

Dig out those umbrellas! A light rain is falling in Burbank and throughout the Southland this morning. That means a wet commute, so drive with extra care. Scattered showers most of the day, then the system moves out leaving behind partly cloudy skies this evening. Later on today, It will be breezy as well. The high might reach the low 60s in Media City.

It’s going to be hot, hot, hot today!

Get out the sunglasses!  It’s going to be a scorcher in the Southland today. Highs in the 70s along some beaches and the mid-80s in […]

Brrr! Cold and windy in the Southland

Some weather reports say it’s “breezy” outside. I call it “windy.”  In Burbank, the palm trees are being whipped around by the strong winds. Some of the gusts in Media City are over 30 miles per hour. And temperatures have dropped down into the 50s. Brrr! I know back East, they would break out the shorts and tee shirts in this kind of […]
