Today was very nice with plenty of sun although temperatures were quire cool.  Clouds are starting to move in now and there isn’t expected to be nearly as much sun tomorrow as there was today.  We could see a f […]

The next two weeks look unseasonably calm. We’ll see a moderate system swing through on Friday, but other than that, our weather looks warmer and drier-than-average for the next 10 days as a strong, broad ridge of […]

Today began with a trace of rain resulting in a cloudy, chilly day.  It is quite breezy which adds to the chill and there is no sign of the sun.  It is not a nice day to to be outdoors for sure, and the r […]

Temperatures fell quickly yesterday afternoon after the storms passed and lows overnight dipped below freezing.  Ice covered my rain gauge this morning and there was 0.29″ from the previous storms.  We were u […]

Our morning began calm and sunny.  Since then, the winds have picked up and clouds rolled in.  It felt almost like a summer morning and temps are still holding in the low 70s.  Radar is showing a line of sh […]

The rain began late last night and continued all night.  There was 0.54″ in my gauge this morning and it continued until after noon.  Now the rain has stopped and fog has developed.  Temperatures will be very wa […]

We had quite a loud thunderstorm overnight that woke me up.  That usually doesn’t happen.  There was 0.41″ in my gauge this morning and it is very windy.  The next few days will be quite warm, then a strong co […]

The Pacific Northwest isn’t known for its rapidly changing seasons. We don’t exactly plunge into winter like the Northern Plains, and our slow trudge towards summer out of the depths of January is even slower. […]

The past three days have seen a mix of every kind of weather.  There would be periods of sun, then clouds and a sprinkle of rain every so often.  Today is starting off with clear skies and very chilly t […]

In my AP European History class back in high school, I remember being astounded by some of the suffixes that the kings and queens had. With a name like Louis XVI, is it any surprise that the French rose up and […]

With the winds of the past several days, many of the trees have already lost their leaves.  The maples and oaks seem to hang on the longest.  There is still a lot of color left and today won’t be nearly as b […]

Today began with a heavy frost and clear skies.  Since then, the winds have picked up, clouds have moved in with a little rain.  The picture shows a waterspout near the Mackinaw Bridge from earlier today.   Tem […]

Pleasant autumn temperatures have arrived for this first half of October period, particularly 40s minimums. The rain has been a bit below normal but not terribly dry like in much of September with a total of 1.05″ […]

Temperatures have been dropping since early this morning, and skies are overcast with strong, cold winds.  It’s not going to be a pleasant day weather-wise, but we have to expect it this time of year.  Radar t […]

This past Sunday, I went trout fishing on the Yakima River with my dad and brother. The trout were there, but they were sluggish and not particularly enthusiastic about our flies. We didn’t had any hits on dry […]

September 2020 was actually a tad cooler but a bit drier than normal. My maximum temperature average (74.5°) was actually 2.6° below normal which was enough to overcome my minimum temperature average of 59.4° […]

After a week of warmer than normal temperatures, there is a strong cold front heading our way which will cool us down quite a bit by Thursday.  What’s worse are the winds that are coming with it.  We could see g […]

Today is yet another with plenty of sun and fairly mild temperatures.  Yesterday’s high was in the low 70s and today won’t be quite as warm but nice anyway.  Although we are having brisk winds, it’s still e […]

We started our day with clear skies but now clouds have taken over.  Temperatures should still make it into the low 70s today, but the strong winds will make it seem much cooler.  We will only have this weekend w […]
