This really feels like a summer day with temps in the low 80s.  We don’t have much sun but it’s nice anyway.  The wind is almost nonexistent.  I wish there was more breeze.  My oriole has been hanging aro […]

Ridging is building over the American West today into the weekend, leading to a regional heat wave in the Pacific Northwest. Above average temperatures are forecast for the Columbia Basin, though things aren’t […]

TEMPERATURES
April 2023 continued the relentless cool, damp weather that has persisted since mid-October. Maximum Temperatures didn’t even reach 60° until April 14th, the first time reaching that value since […]

Remember the annoying cool & gloomy spring weather we had throughout most of March & the first 3 weeks of April?  It is now but a memory.  Our “La Niña Lag” has finally ended, and we are shifting into a warm sp […]

We have another beautiful day to be thankful for.  Highs yesterday reached near  80°F (27°C) and we should see the mid  80s today.  There is no rain in our forecast until the weekend, and that’s just a sligh […]

Our temperatures should reach the mid to upper 70s today, so it will be a great day to spend outdoors.  I think I’ll get more screens on the windows and get some of the flower beds cleaned out.  It will soon b […]

An upper level low pressure system is moving eastward into the Northern Rockies Tuesday morning. Rain showers and isolated thunderstorms, mostly south of the Tri-Cities, will […]

Our temperatures are mild today, but we have showers just to our west.  I’m not sure which way they are moving but it appears mainly to the northeast.  If that’s true, then most will miss us.  We did have a li […]

After a little rain and a few rumbles of thunder this morning, the rain has ended and we are seeing a little sun peeking through the clouds.  There is a chance that we could get a little more rain, but the […]

Our weather today will be what it should be.  Our temperatures will be seasonable for a change, and no mention of snow in the forecast.  Hopefully, we won’t hear that “S” word again until next fall.  At le […]

Today begins our transition from winter to spring, finally.  Highs should reach the upper 50s and each day this week getting a little warmer.  Yesterday was really nasty with rain mixed with a little snow f […]
