There was a trace of precip in my gauge this morning but I’m certain that it was from condensation, not rain.  These past few days have been very uncomfortable with these high dew points, but at least the temps […]

The last several days in The Dalles, I’ve noticed the feeling that we’ve moved past the “peak” of our summer season. We’ve had a few nights with low temps in the 50s now. That always seems to start at some point […]

Our Saturday morning is beginning with cloudy skies and very humid conditions.  It should be a mostly sunny day once the clouds and fog have dissipated.  There is a slight chance of a stray shower but not l […]

I have had some data collection problems this week and have not posted since Tuesday’s report. I have issues resolved now and I will post a somewhat compressed three day report covering Wednesday, Thursday and […]

(sorry, I don’t have a good fresh photo of the red smoky sun!)

As you can probably tell, it’s been a very tough summer for much of the Western U.S., and even parts of Canada. So far there have been five big […]
