Over the past week, the weather in the Pacific Northwest has taken a dramatic turn.  Back in late March and early April, we were under a continuous two-week stretch of clouds, rain, cool temperatures and fairly […]

This blog post is a response to the following question, which I received over on my Facebook page – Tri-Cities Weather:
Mark, I remember all the Easters here in the Tri Cities as being WINDY and COOL. Never […]

This morning is very nice although I hate to think of what’s coming tomorrow.  We are under a Strong Wind Advisory with gusts up to 50 mph expected for our Monday.   Regardless, today is looking quite nice al […]

The mixture of mild to warm days interspersed with cooler periods with frequent light rains continued through the beginning of April. We had only 0.42 inches total of rainfall during this period, with 9.17 inches […]

Wednesday was wonderful with partly cloudy skies and temps in the low 70s.  Then yesterday happened.  In the late afternoon, rain moved in.  It didn’t take long for ice pellets to start falling.  Then it cha […]

Yesterday was very nice with light winds and highs reaching the low 70s once again.  The day began with sun, then clouds began moving in by late afternoon.  The rain started about 8 PM and continued into the o […]

Although we received very little rain, Mother Nature put on quite a light show for us last night.  Most of the storms missed us and we only got 0.06″ of rain here, but many areas received well over an inch.   I ha […]

We only received 0.03″ of rain overnight but there is more on the way.  Highs today are expected to be very warm before a very significant cold front moves in and will affect our weather into the weekend.  They a […]

We will be losing our sun as the day goes on, but at least we’ll have  very mild temperatures.  Unfortunately, those won’t last long as very chilly weather move in for Easter weekend.  Our prediction even me […]

Our temperatures are going in the wrong direction as everyday will be a bit cooler than the last.  Next weekend, Easter, they are even saying that we could see some snow.  I’m hoping that the forecast will c […]

TEMPERATURES
March 2020 averaged slightly below the Normal for both Maximum and Minimum Temperatures. Comparing with February 2020, this March’s Average Maximum of 53.4° was 3.3° above the previous month but t […]

February 2020 was warmer and a bit wetter than normal. My maximum temperature average (48.8°) was 4.0° above normal but my minimum temperature average (33.1°) was more significantly above normal (+6.3°), res […]

We are truly blessed with the weather that we are having right now.  Yesterday was sunny with no clouds in the sky all day long.  The humidity was so low that there were no contrails from the planes at all, and w […]

Our Thursday is starting out with clear skies and mild temperatures.  We need days like this to brighten up our lives with all that’s happening in our country and the world with this pandemic.  I’m happy that I l […]

Continuing with the roughly 10 day shorter summaries to cover a general period of more or less similar weather patterns, the mixture of mild to warm days with frequent light rains continued through this ending of […]

I hope all of you are safe and at some semblance of peace.  This has been a very tough 3 weeks for all of us, and we still have at least 6-8 weeks of isolation ahead.  The weather has been cooperating with our s […]

This post focuses on tornado statistics in the Tri-Cities and Columbia Basin. For specific details about the Richland tornado that happened on March 31, head over to this AgWeatherNet article that I contributed […]

Our Wednesday is starting out with cloudy skies and a bit damp.  There was 0.02″ in my gauge this morning but not raining at the present time.  The radar is  mostly clear so I don’t think that we will get any mo […]

March is certainly not exiting as a lion but it isn’t going to be the nicest day either.  Monday brought a few raindrops but there was only 0.01″ in my rain gauge.  We could see the same today but it is dry at t […]

After a blustery, wet, chilly Sunday, our temperatures have fallen to where they really should be for this time of year.  We get a few warm, sunny days and it spoils us, but we must remember that it really is […]
