Toward the end of the Last Glacial Maximum, catastrophic flooding surged down parts of the Columbia River watershed as natural dams creating large lakes failed. Some originated from Glacial Lake Missoula, which […]

We had a light covering of snow early this morning which measured about quarter of an inch.  It didn’t last long.  We had recurrent snow showers most of our Monday which measured 0.08″ of melted precip in my g […]

Our morning began with a light cover of snow on bare surfaces, but my rain gauge had just water.  We received 0.36″ of precip yesterday and overnight, and snow showers have continued throughout our early […]

Our summer-like weather is coming to an end with an approaching cold front.  We certainly enjoyed our weather this past week, especially the few 80 degree days that we had.  It sure brought the leaf sprouts out o […]

Yesterday was a record breaker once again for high temperatures.  Today will be warm but not enough to exceed the current record of 87°F (30C).  Regardless, it will be a lovely day to get outdoors and take in th […]

TEMPERATURES
March 2023 had a very cool start, with Maximums not even reaching 50° until the 11th day. The coolness only was briefly alleviated mid-month before returning to below normal through month’s end. The […]

We have been graced with record high temperatures yesterday and today.  It will be hard going back to average temps again.  People are out in shorts, sandals, tank tops and thoroughly loving it.  It’s hard to be […]

We better enjoy these last few days of “shorts” weather because it is about to come to an end.  Next week will be back to average, even below average temps once again, and early next week will be cold and wet.  A […]

We are starting to see the trees budding out with this warm weather.  Today will make it into the low 70s with the next three days even warmer.  There is no rain in the forecast until the weekend.  This af […]

Anyone who’s been outside in the last few weeks knows that it has been a remarkably gray, damp & cool spring thus far in NW Oregon and SW Washington.  This is wonderful news for the local vampire community.  But f […]

Our weather continues to be wonderful, and I can’t add anything more to that.  Highs today will reach the upper 60s and I even have a few windows open.  The fresh air smells so good.  The next mention of rain is […]

We couldn’t have a nicer day than what we have.  Highs are expected to reach the mid 60s and plenty of sun.  Even the winds are mild.  What’s even better is that this is expected to continue the entire week.  It […]

After more rain than we need, this weekend and the upcoming week sound wonderful.  Every day will be a little warmer with the 70s expected by week’s end.  It doesn’t get any better than that.  Much of the water ha […]

This upcoming week is expected to be beautiful.  There are no storm systems approaching and temperatures will remain above average; even hitting the 70 degree mark later in the week.  This morning is a bit c […]

We are starting our day with a tornado watch and very mild temperatures.  At this time, most of the storms are moving well to our west, but I know that we’ll get our share later.  We already had one loud clap of t […]

There is another round of severe and tornadic weather expected for mid week.  My area is in the marginal risk area, but it seems like these storms keep hitting the same areas.  So far, we’ve been lucky, but I k […]

Yesterday was an unbelievable day of severe storms and tornadoes throughout the mid-section of the US.  It began fairly early in the afternoon, and continued throughout the night.  We had just a nice summer-type t […]

We woke to moderate rain this morning and it has continued since then.  There was 0.29″ in my rain gauge at 8:30. Temperatures will be quite warm today giving us a small chance for severe weather tonight.  T […]

Tomorrow is expected to be another stormy day with large areas of the midwest and south expecting more tornadoes and strong severe storms.  As for us, we could see showers and maybe a few thunderstorms, but at […]

We are having snow showers this morning which are barely covering the ground.  I’m sure that it will melt very quickly and we aren’t expecting much accumulation.  We have another storm system heading our way for t […]
