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 […]

Our generally cooler and drier patterns of May transitioned into warmer and wetter conditions for the first third of June. 70s max temps began the month comfortably but abruptly changed to hot 90s on the third […]

Yesterday was almost perfect with clear skies, comfortable temperatures, and a nice breeze.  It seemed good to have the windows open.  Early yesterday evening, a storm sprang up dumping 0.11 inches on us, then s […]

Although we didn’t get any severe weather here where I live, others in the state were not as lucky.  There was a tremendous amount of damage done around Bay City and Saginaw, and also on the western side of the […]

As the remnants of Tropical Storm Cristobol approach our area, with it comes heavy rain and possible severe weather of every kind.  Temperatures last night never fell much below 80 degrees most of the night and […]

Before diving into the usual topic of this blog (weather), I wanted to acknowledge the obvious:  These are […]

The morning is starting out very warm with temps already in the mid 70s.  Tropical Storm Cristobol is heading in our direction and our weather could be affected by tonight.  Behind it will bring much cooler t […]

Yesterday was cloudy most of the day, but the sun began to peak through by 5 PM.  We received a little rain but hardly enough to wet the surface and that was fine.  This morning is starting out with clear skies a […]

We have rain in our forecast for this afternoon, and radar is showing it already in the western portions of the state.  I’m hoping that most stays to our south, but even at that, it isn’t expected to be that […]
