This may be the last of our very warm weather, with temps expected in the 60s and 70s the remainder of this week.  Today should reach the mid 70s.  We’ll enjoy it while it lasts.  There isn’t even any rain in th […]

We did receive a little rain this morning but not much more than a few sprinkles.  Now skies have cleared and winds have picked up.  Highs today should reach the upper 60s and it should be a very nice day.  We co […]

Today is the start of a week of very lovely weather for us.  We will see highs near 70 degrees some days, and well into the 60s on others.  Best of all, there is no rain in the forecast.  The colors are really co […]

We are looking forward to a warm-up in a few days.  All next week is predicted to be warm, dry and sunny, but we know how quickly that can change.  Yesterday was damp although we didn’t get much rain.  There wa […]

Our morning began with cloud cover but now we have partial clearing and the sun is out.  Unfortunately, it won’t warm up much with highs only expected in the low 50s today.  We are promised a significant warm-up o […]

After two days of rain, the sun today is a welcome sight.  Unfortunately, it is also very chilly.  There was a light frost this morning but what I h […]

The big windstorm and subsequent wildfires were the big news this month. Here in Happy Valley, very strong, dry east winds out of the Columbia River Gorge brought many trees and power lines down as gusts reached […]

After an extended period of beautiful autumn weather, we now have the opposite.  Even the extended forecast doesn’t look too good with the possibility of rain almost every day.  Yesterday wasn’t too bad with m […]

Camping Season ended for us yesterday.  We had to pack up in the rain which is never fun, and our drive home was in rain most of the way.  Temperatures are now much cooler but our last 10 days up north were g […]

Greetings world!  The month of September has been a rough one here in the Pacific Northwest.  Western Oregon endured what is most likely the worst outbreak of wildfires in recorded history.  The historic eas […]

Today was supposed to be cloudy and wet, but there has been no rain so far and the chances have been reduced.  We couldn’t have had nicer weather for our final week here.  Temperatures were mostly mild and y […]

More satellite eye-candy today! Take a look below (note – if you are receiving this post via email, you may have to go to the actual post to see the loop).

One thing that immediately stands out is the […]

Today’s weather pattern is a real treat to look at on satellite. We have marginally unstable air moving inland, and this air is just unstable enough to give crustal clear, bluebird skies over the ocean but h […]

Yesterday was a clear, beautiful day here in the Indian River area.  We took a drive to Cheboygan late afternoon, and as we approached the in-law’s cabins, we saw what appeared to be heavy dark smoke.  As we got c […]

The heat has left us, hopefully for good, during this mid-September month period. The rain also left us as the 0.08″ that fell from the weak TS Sally remains was the only measurable rain that fell during the […]

This will be our last week here at the campground and at least the warmer weather has returned.  There is no rain expected anytime soon and that’s always a good thing this time of year.  We are seeing a little c […]

The first atmospheric river event of the season is taking aim for the Pacific Northwest, bringing widespread rain to the region beginning on the coast Tuesday night and spreading inland to moisten the ground in […]

After a few very cold days, temperatures today should be reaching near normal.  I’m not sure if there was frost here.  I didn’t see any but my in-laws at the cabins said that there was some there, and their son i […]

In my last blog post on 8/30, I warned of a “late-season heatwave with offshore flow” that would “dramatically increase fire danger for the Pacific Northwest.” But when I wrote that, never in my wildest dreams did […]
