Much of the Northwest is enjoying a break in precipitation after persistent regional storms and post-frontal showers. A low pressure system heading for Alaska will bring that to an end from north to south with the […]

Our morning began with temperatures in the upper 30s, and a little fog.  We continue to have cloudy skies but it is supposed to become partly cloudy this afternoon.  Our temps won’t get very warm but still a […]

A prolonged pattern of upper level troughing and repeated regional storm systems have added quite a bit of snow to mountains of the Pacific Northwest over the past week. As of the end of the day on March 4, the […]

Our morning began with showers and a few rumbles of thunder.  There was 0.25″ in my gauge at 8:30, and the rain continued a while after that.  Right now we have cloudy skies and the rain has stopped for n […]

We should see record high temperatures once again today.  The current record high is 70F, set back in 1974.  We’re expecting highs today in the mid 70s.  It already feels pretty warm out there and some wi […]

We have sun and very mild temperatures today.  We should see some clouds a little later, but no rain is in the forecast.  We continue to have a long stretch of unseasonably warm weather and I, for one, am e […]

The Sierra Nevada mountains of California and Nevada are experiencing a rare extreme blizzard this weekend with incredible amounts of snow and strong winds forecast through Sunday including major travel corridors […]

This past month has felt like anything but winter.  It only snowed about three time enough to cover the ground, and then it didn’t last long.  Today is expected to reach into the mid 50s, and we could see t […]

Some drizzle was observed in the Tri-Cities area Thursday and Friday as a low pressure system worked its way through the region. That low is on its way east to bring some snow to the Plains and Canadian Prairies […]

On March 5, 2024, the National Weather Service office in Portland is issuing an update to the geography of their public forecast zones. These are the preset boundaries they use to issue a number of their weather […]

After warning us all day yesterday that we had a marginal chance for severe weather, but a very slight chance for tornadoes, guess what???  Several tornadoes hit the state.  The closest to us was Grand B […]

Today looks and feels like a day in late April.  Unfortunately, it may bring some severe weather later this evening and tonight.  The last time we had weather this warm, this early in the season, was when we h […]

We have near record temperatures today and tomorrow, but another cold front will move in, giving us the possibility of strong thunderstorms tonight and early tomorrow.  I’ve noticed many of the farmers are […]

For more than a week, weather enthusiasts have fixated on the chilly upper-level trough that is currently entering the Pacific Northwest and will stick with us for the coming week. Snow levels will drop to […]

Today is starting with sun, but it isn’t expected to last.  We will see highs near 50F and that’s a relief from yesterday.  There is no rain in our forecast until late Tuesday, and we could see a record high t […]

It looks like a very pretty day, but it is too cold for my liking.  Temps aren’t even expected to reach the freezing mark, but at least the sun gives the illusion of being warmer.  This cold will be s […]

Seasonally warm temperatures being observed in the Pacific Northwest Friday and Saturday will draw to a close on Sunday when an upper level trough is forecast to turn the upper level wind pattern more […]

Our warm weather is leaving us for a few days but expected to return soon.  This winter has been weird weather-wise but I’m not complaining.  It’s been very unfortunate for those who love winter sports.  Ev […]

We have had mostly cloudy skies this morning, but now we have partly cloudy skies and haze.  After a little research, I discovered that the haze is from wildfires in Oklahoma.  We had a record temp of 62°F ye […]

It really feels like spring out there today.  It is already much warmer than what was predicted, and we could set a new record today.  The morning was cloudy, but now there are quite a few breaks in the c […]
