Although our temperatures are quite chilly today, at least we have clear skies and bright sun to help make it feel warmer.  It is a bit breezy but not a bad day at all.  We are expecting another very warm day on T […]

Yesterday’s blustery conditions resulted in an extraordinary sunset which drew a lot of attention from area photographers.  The picture above is just one, but there are many more on the Michigan weather group on […]

Daylight Savings Time ends tonight.  We are under a wind advisory today until 9PM, with gusts expected up to  50 mph.  So far we haven’t seen any that strong but it is windy enough to make it uncomfortable to be […]

Today will be the last spring-like day so we better get ready for what’s ahead.  The “gales of November” will be upon us tomorrow with wind gusts expected to be 40-50 mph.  Winds will increase today as the day r […]

Highs today will reach the 70°F mark, and this is expected to last until Sunday.  It is a bit breezy today and there is plenty of sun.  Unfortunately, driving can be a challenge with the sun so low in the sk […]

October 2022 was one of the warmest on record in the area, especially for Maximum and Mean Temperatures. Of the three official Portland weather stations (Downtown, Airport, and Weather Forecast […]

Once again, our morning began with fog, but it wasn’t as dense as previous mornings.  The sun appeared rather quickly and it burned off right away.  We could see highs near 70°F this afternoon so it will be an […]

Mostly dry weather (with a few isolated showers) comes to an end on Friday as an atmospheric river takes aim at the Pacific Northwest. This is likely to bring the first wind storm of the season to much of the […]

I can’t believe this weather.  Just when we think that the warm weather is finished, we get another round of it.  This morning began with dense fog and visibility less than a mile, but now the sky is clearing a […]

Rain showers diminish Tuesday afternoon and evening, though a few isolated showers are possible during the day Wednesday. After that, skies are forecast to clear over the Columbia Basin allowing for temperatures […]

I just KNEW that if I planned to take a break from weather blogging, then things would suddenly become really active and intriguing.  Now we’re looking at a very active pattern for the end of October & early […]

Just when we thought that Halloween would be nice this year, it certainly isn’t.  At least it is fairly warm and not snowing.  For us it really doesn’t matter because we don’t get any trick or treaters anyway, b […]

Coming in the middle of fall, Halloween has historically been a mixed bag for the Columbia Basin. Most weather conditions (except extreme heat) are possible this time of year – my dad even remembers a bit of snow […]

We had dense fog early this morning but it burned off quickly.  Now it is sunny with a few clouds in the sky and light winds.  Temperatures should reach the low to mid 60s so it’s going to be a winner of a d […]

Although a jacket is needed to be outdoors today, winds are light and it’s a good day to go out and do almost anything.  We have some work being done to the outside of our house, and the guys finally have a nice […]

After a wet, dreary Wednesday, today is bright and sunny but temperatures are below average once again.  There is little wind and with the sun, it is very pleasant.  I’m hearing predictions of a very snowy w […]

The rain began late last night and is continuing this afternoon.  There was 0.21″ in my gauge at 9AM and it has been raining since then.  Temps have been dropping all morning and are now in the 40s.  I’m glad th […]
