For anyone who loves hot summer weather, they should be overjoyed right now.  It looks like that will be our weather pattern for quite a while.  For me, that will be a bit much as I’m not a fan of anything much o […]

Two Sundays ago, I proudly proclaimed that Juneuary would end on the 17th. But taking a look at the webcam from Timberline Lodge this morning, that appears to have been a premature call! Just another example of […]

Yesterday was lovely and the same is expected for today.  We are in a period of dry, hot weather, something that we have been waiting for since June began.  We were wondering if it was ever going to happen, but a […]

As severe thunderstorms developed yesterday, they remained to our south and west.  We received 0.53″ of rain with a little thunder and lightning, but not much more.  Many areas got over 2 inches of rain and some w […]

What a beautiful sunset tonight! I’m currently on Whidbey Island just north of Seattle, but Portland saw a spectacular sunset as well.

When the sun is low on the horizon like it is at […]

This morning is sunny and mild, but I can already see clouds in the west ahead of the storms which are expected to reach us later today.  The is a good chance that we’ll have some severe weather.  Temperatures w […]

We saw a little-known, but fascinating meteorological feature off the coast of Vancouver Island today… a little swirl in the clouds created due to differences in the strength of northwesterly winds along the […]

Our week in Indian River was wonderful except for the last two days.  Until then, we had clear skies, light winds, and very comfortable temperatures.  We will be going back up for the 4th of July week, and I h […]

I hope you are safely enjoying this summer weather across the Pacific Northwest!  After a very gloomy first half of June, we finally turned a corner this week.

Yesterday Tuesday was the hottest day of the year […]

The past two days have been total washouts with close to 2 inches of rainfall.   It finally ended late last night and today should be fairly decent although quite chilly.  we will be heading home but will re […]

I ran through some quick climate stats for Portland Int’l Airport, and since Saturday of Memorial Day Weekend (5/23), only 2 of 10 weekends (this includes Memorial Day) have had temperatures at or above-average, […]

Our wetter patterns during the beginning of June resumed from the 17th-20th after a five day stretch of cool, cloudy, dry, rather pleasant weather conditions from the 13th-16th. 70s max temps prevailed on most […]

Today is the first day of summer.  The past two days have been perfect with very warm temperatures and low humidity.  But we have some changes coming later today.  Rain is already showing on radar over Wi […]

Yesterday and today have been perfect for summer weather lovers.  With highs in the mid to upper 80s, and very little wind, it feels very warm to say the least.  We took a drive into Cheboygan yesterday, down to t […]

The Portland NWS issued a “Special Weather Statement” at 4pm warning of the potential for “cold core funnel clouds” this afternoon. But what is a “cold core funnel cloud,” you might ask??
Special Weather […]

Yesterday was about as nice a day as one could hope for.  Today is expected to be about the same but a little warmer.  There is no rain in the forecast until the weekend which is good. We need a drying out p […]

Today is expected to be one of those rare days where the weather is almost perfect; comfortable temperatures, light winds, low humidity, and plenty of sun.  Unfortunately, it will only last about a day, then the […]

The weather sounds like the most inconsequential thing to talk about during these times, but if it weren’t for – you know – the global pandemic and revolution stuff – it would absolutely make front-line news. A […]

Today doesn’t feel much like summer with highs only expected to reach the mid 60s.  At least the sun is shining and that helps a little.  Winds are light also, so no wind chill effect.  The next 4-5 days are ex […]
