We continue to see grey skies with a hint of blue showing through from the wildfires in western Canada.  It hasn’t really hampered the sun much, but we aren’t seeing blue skies either.  Other than that, we c […]

We continue to have a lot of Canadian wildfire smoke overhead, so the sky appears to have more overcast than it actually does.  Winds are very light and temps are in the mid 70s.  The humidity is very low a […]

Skies are clear but don’t look very blue due to smoke from the wildfires in Canada.  Our temperatures are very comfortable and winds are light, so overall, it’s a beautiful day.  I’m still working on my f […]

We were lucky enough to get 0.34″ of rain yesterday which was badly needed.  Today is very chilly and the forecast is calling for a chance for more rain, but it hasn’t happened yet.  If we get anymore, I d […]

We had mostly cloudy skies this morning, but now light rain has moved in.  It isn’t much more than sprinkles, but I wish we’d get more.  It has been so dry and our road is very dusty.  The rain is expected to […]

We have clear skies this afternoon, but smoke from the Canada wildfire give the appearance of a light cloud cover.  It isn’t hampering the sunlight much so it’s okay.  Winds aren’t as strong today and they w […]

Today has been sunny, but our high barely made it to  60F,  and with a steady wind from the northeast, it hasn’t been very pleasant to be outdoors.  Tomorrow should be warmer and there is still no mention of ra […]

Our skies are mostly cloudy with filtered sun, but temperatures are very comfortable.  There is no rain expected until Friday and we do have some wind today.  Other than that, I can’t really say much more a […]

Our temperatures are back to where they should be although it was really cold this morning.  We didn’t have any frost but it felt like there could have been.  Temps should make it into the mid 70s today and m […]

Showers were already being observed in the Columbia Basin and Yakima Valley before 04:00 Monday thanks to an upper level low pressure system centered near Central Oregon. This pattern is pulling moisture up from […]

We have lost our warm temperatures today, and with the wind, it feels even colder.  We did get a little rain yesterday, only 0.05″.  We could use more but it doesn’t look like it will happen anytime soon.  Th […]

We have cloudy skies and rain is showing up on radar in our area.  We could see some sprinkles today but we aren’t expecting any heavy rain.  It is getting quite dry which is good for the farmers, and they h […]

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 […]
