An uptick in earthquake activity is being observed along the Oregon-Nevada border between Lakeview and Steens Mountain. For the 30 day period ending 12:00 PDT March 12, 29 earthquakes were located in this area. […]

We have another great, sunny day and I just hope we don’t pay for this weather in April and May, when it’s supposed to be like this. This winter has been unbelievable for us and I almost feel like I spent […]

Leftover moisture and cold air aloft will be enough for scattered showers and isolated t-storms throughout the Pacific Northwest on Tuesday. These storms will be more widespread along and west of the Cascades and […]

We have returned to warm, sunny weather.  Highs should reach the mid to upper 50s this afternoon, and we have more 60s coming over the next few days.  This has been a remarkable winter for us.  The most sn […]

The third system in a train that started late last week is forecast to reach the Pacific Northwest during the day Monday. High clouds from this are already reaching the Interstate 5 corridor as of 07:00. Rainfall […]

Five days ago, local meteorologists declared that “winter is over.” There has been considerable debate the past few years about what constitutes “wintry” conditions in our mild temperate climate. Here’s why I feel […]

We woke this morning to a bit of a shock.  Everything was white!  I knew that we were expecting some snow, but I didn’t expect much ground cover.  We have about an inch and the snow showers should be ending so […]

It has been a dreary, chilly day on our last day on Eastern Standard Time.  Showers moved in yesterday around 1 PM, and continued well into the overnight.  There was 0.71″ in my gauge this morning.  To […]

Strong El Niño conditions were observed over the winter of 2023-24, leading to long lasting periods of split flow in the jet stream aimed at Western North America. This is a typical El Niño pattern, where the n […]

Radar is showing a large rain mass heading our way, and it is moving quite slowly.  I anticipate that it will be here in another hour or so, and that it will last most of our day.  Temperatures will continue t […]

We should see highs in the 50s today once the sun comes out.  But for now, we have nothing but clouds.  We could see some rain tomorrow and Saturday, and temperatures will remain on the cool side.  Re […]

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 […]
