Our forecast is calling for much warmer and sunny weather for the weekend.  That is certainly good news after what we have had.  Yesterday was cold and windy with sporadic rain and snow showers.  Today the su […]

I have had a variety of problems, including sleep, the past few days. This report will briefly cover both Sunday and Monday. We had quite a rainstorm overnight Sunday into most of Monday. Temps dropped on Sunday […]

We have had no shortage of rain the last couple of weeks. In fact, we’ve had quite the surplus with many parts of the Mid-Columbia exceeding April rainfall averages by the middle of the month. It looks like this […]

We were under a winter storm warning most of yesterday as rain and freezing rain continued.  The first warning expired at noon, then another was issued later in the day.  I couldn’t understand the reason for t […]

After such a prolonged, wet late winter/early spring in 2017, I was hoping that 2018 would feature a more abrupt transition to the warm, sunny stretches of April that give us a taste of our beautiful summer to […]

Saturday was the second and last day of our “mini-heat wave” with mostly sunny skies with scattered high cirrus at times and temperatures once again reaching well into the 80s as had been predicted all week. The […]

For us, the storm wasn’t as bad as predicted.  We never did get the strong winds that they had near the western shorelines of the state, and most of the precip was rain and sleet.  I heard that the Mackinaw B […]

Friday the 13th had no meteorological shenanigans for my area, as the typical altostratus overcast lessened and only lasted into the mid AM, then turned mostly sunny with scattered high clouds and warmer […]

What a nasty morning!  The freezing rain hasn’t started yet but is on the way.  A Winter Storm Warning is in effect until tomorrow afternoon and the warning area keeps spreading southward.  I have to go to wo […]

Thursday started out with an altostratus overcast into the late AM, then turned partly sunny and much warmer into the mid 70s, as our big warm-up week continues to progress, culminating at the end of the week with […]

Yesterday was a fantastic day except for the strong winds.  Highs reached the lower 70s for the first time this year, and there was plenty of sun.  But winter isn’t giving up just yet.  We have the quiet be […]

While the Tri-Cities Airport is still reporting a deficit for rainfall thus far in 2018, Wednesday night’s rainfall helped to bring our numbers a little bit higher. Parts of the area received record rainfall […]

Wednesday started out with an altostratus overcast into the late AM, then turned mostly sunny and milder, as we start a warming week, culiminating at the end of the week with 80° temps. The Wednesday maximum […]

We had a very mild night which will be followed by a very warm Thursday.  Our highs could reach the mid to upper 60s for a change but unfortunately it won’t last.   We received 0.14 inches of rain ov […]

To say that this is getting annoying is an understatement to be sure.  We can look forward to about three days of normal temps, then back to winter once again.  I don’t ever remember having an April like t […]
