Wednesday was mostly sunny and quite cold, the coldest day of the fall season so far. It actually would have been a bit below normal for January esp on the high temperature side of things. Today’s min of 22.5 […]

Our January-type weather continues with temperatures expected to be a little warmer today, but still no where near close to average.  There are some 40 degree days coming but even that is colder than average for […]

All weather records were broken yesterday.  How often does that happen?  We broke the record for total snow amounts for the date, for the coldest high temperature for that date, and the lowest cold temperature f […]

Another one of those brief hiatus sessions from me over the past two days, so as usual I am combining details from both days into this one slightly condensed post.

It was a much drier than normal October in 2019 as the statewide average in Oregon was just 1.60″, only 65% of the 1895-2019 Normal of 2.46″.  However, the persistent chilly weather, especially in the northern […]

I had originally planned to work on this post last night during the Seahawks/49ers game, but there simply weren’t any boring parts where I could divert my attention from the game and to my computer. From start to […]

Note: This post talks about the impact of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation on historic weather in the Tri-Cities and is the first in a series on my thoughts for the upcoming winter. Other posts in this series can […]

It’s been a beautiful autumn across the Pacific Northwest, at least if you love colorful leaves.  Trouble is, I haven’t been able to get out much due to a long-winded car repair fiasco.  But just from the v […]

It snowed all day yesterday leaving about 7 inches on the ground.  The thumb area of the state got 12 or more inches.  I hope that this isn’t a sign of how our winter is going to be.  They did predict a snowy wi […]

TEMPERATURES
This October never saw any really warm weather and overall temperatures averaged about 3.5° below Normal for the month. The highest Maximum Temperature for the entire month was only 66.1° (6th) w […]

We woke to about 2 inches of snow cover and it’s still coming down.  I’m hearing that we could get as much as 6 inches by the time it’s over.  A winter weather advisory is in effect until midnight. I guess w […]

One would think that it is January as cold as it is.  I keep waiting for Indian Summer but I don’t think that it will happen anytime soon.  What’s worse is that it’s supposed to be even colder next week, with h […]

This morning feels more like mid December rather than early November.  Temps were only in the 20s when I got up this morning and highs aren’t expected to reach any higher than 40° if even that high.  A mix of ra […]

Our morning is starting out with clearing skies and temps in the 30s.  Our extended forecast is calling for temperatures much below normal  over the next two weeks.  Thanksgiving Day is only a few weeks away an […]

Another calm, sunny, dry day with very similar temperatures than yesterday came in on Monday. High temperatures on Monday were once again in the upper mid 50s, after a chilly early AM low in the mid 30s, but with […]

After a weekend of a mixed bag of weather, at least today should bring us temperatures closer to normal.  Saturday had a mix of everything from sun, clouds, and snow showers.  Sometimes it was even everything at o […]
