We all remember the “Ides of October” windstorm on October 15, 2016. The one that sprung out of Supertyphoon Songda and was feared to be a historic Pacific Northwest windstorm that would long be remembered. Models […]

I’ve been watching the potential for snow, sleet, and freezing rain in the Portland area Thursday night into Friday as a weak warm front runs into a cold air mass over the area. The front has trended weaker and […]

We’ve all heard about the Santa Ana Winds. They’re dry gusts of air that are forced through the gaps in the San Diego mountains, and Southern California is getting hit big time right now.

I just learned that the 97th American Meteorological Society event is happening this week in Seattle. I think I just might go check it out. That is how I found out about this site.

Hi Brecky! I was there with @littlebearcreekweather, it was a blast! Lots of really interesting presentations on so many topics.

Have you ever tried to explain to your kiddos how clouds and rain work, but you just can’t show them exactly how it works because the clouds are so high up in the sky? Well, here’s a fun and simple way to show […]

Any plans for the weekend? Well you may want to consider the weather forecast first.

Interesting climate data Karl – we’ll see how cold this month ends up being!

Beating that 26.4 mark isn’t too tough if you have moderately chilly temps in late January; anything that keeps that 2nd half of the month below 33.4 will do. But beating the 24.5 in December 1985? That’s almost a full 2 degrees colder and would require temps averaging 29 or below these next 2 weeks.
I don’t think I’d appreciate having to put up with additional snow and ice next week, in order to get the cold numbers required for that…
-
Staying below 26.4 simply requires that the 2nd half of the month is colder than 33.4 degrees, which is very doable if long-range temperature maps for the Western U.S. are to be believed. But beating December 1985? We’d need to be about 4 or 5 degrees colder than that, I believe, and that would probably require another actual cold spell in late January.
At this point I don’t think I’d appreciate the extra snow and ice that another cold blast would most likely imply.

What do you think?
Why weather?
There are so many reasons I love the weather, but they all stem from my fascination with the natural world. I’ve always been so interested in not only weather but astronomy, oceanography, geology… pretty much every Earth science in the book.
My weather hobby has led me to study the physics of the atmosphere, and this knowledge has further increased my love of weather. But at my core, I just love the weather because I love the power of nature.
I’ve noticed that a lot of huge weather geeks love the great outdoors too. I know I fall into that category… how about you?
