  • Hello to everyone from Weatherbug Backyard.  It will seem great to hear from all of you again.  This is my first post on Weatherquack, and am still trying to figure it out.  I haven’t found how to add pictures, bu […]

  • Like the new blog site, but still trying to figure out how everything works..

    Finally some Sun after 8 days of basically Clouds and Rain. Yesterday only reached 61F but today rebounded with a high of […]

  • As with most new things it has taken a little while to get things up and running, but I am now pleased to announce that everything is up and running and I am writing my first entry on WeatherQuack.com, it’s just a […]

  • Tuesday started out with fog as it has the previous 2 days, with low clouds and light showers (0.10″) later in the afternoon and evening with cooler temperatures than yesterday with temps and dew points mostly in […]

  • I just signed in successfully without too much problem, but the instructions thereafter was confusing as expected but I think I got through it.

    Currently I have cloudy skies with fog, a temperature of 64.5° and […]

  • It’s late and I’m exhausted so I’ll keep this one short and image-free. Anyway…our Memorial Weekend heatwave got cut short two days early, west of the Cascades – and 1 1/2 days early in the Gorge. When the wind […]

  • What a beautiful day it is today! With a strong ridge of high pressure centered just off our coast, we have bluebird skies, light winds, and very warm temperatures, with many places around the Portland metro […]

  • We just finished one 5-day stretch of temps 80+ each day, including two days in the 90s. After a brief cooldown tomorrow into Thursday, it looks like the “Early Summer” weather is going to return for Memorial […]

  • Our last (sniff sniff) day of storm chasing was significantly more relaxed than Thursday’s, but we still managed to see some well-defined mammatus and asperatus clouds, a giant wall cloud, some very strong s […]

    • I wonder if rural Oregon/Washingtonians would be as hostile toward solar, as some parts of Texas obviously are toward wind? I would hope that poor rural counties here, would be a bit more open-minded toward the idea of family-wage jobs in renewable energy…

    • Good question Karl… I don’t know anything about it, but it would be an interesting study. I know some folks that live in Ellensburg… I’ll ask them if they know what the sentiment there is about wind farms. How do people in The Dalles feel about the wind farms along the Columbia River Gorge?

      With regards to solar, I know there was some opposition to the “Teanaway Solar Reserve,” which fell through. I think there’s some “NIMBY” going on – most people don’t like a giant solar farm or wind farm close to where they live, especially if it’s in beautiful country.

  • Even though it was nowhere near as active as forecast, day 6 was by far our most active day yet. We saw it all: a tornado, tons of wall clouds, an amazing shelf cloud, multiple funnel clouds, and we were pummeled […]

  • Whew…how was that rainy, cold weather on Tuesday?!? The Dalles officially registered a high temp of 59, but it was in the low 50s for most of the day with heavy showers and hail at times. (Normal high for […]

  • With tornado activity well to our north yesterday, we decided to take a day off from chasing and explore Oklahoma! After sleeping in past noon, we decided to head east from Clinton, OK towards Oklahoma City and […]

  • Our second day of storm chasing was definitely a lot more active than our first! We saw flooding rains, strong winds, lots of (presumably wind, possibly tornado) damage, a weak funnel cloud, several weakly […]

    It’s May (obviously), and if you’re like me you’re super angry to see the word snow being thrown around willy nilly. Well, it’s real and it’s coming. On the bright side, this is a quick-moving storm with […]

  • After much anticipation, Joey and I finally saw some good storms on our third day of our storm chasing vacation! No tornadoes were in the cards for today, but we saw brief bursts of heavy rain, small hail, gusty […]

  • Day two on Joey and Charlie’s storm chasing adventure was mainly a day of driving. After we finally arrived at our hotel at 3 AM Sunday morning, we slept in as late as possible and headed out just before our […]
