Today really looks and feels like November.  It is cold and temperatures are remaining in the upper 30s.  The high was supposed to reach 40°F today but I don’t think it’s going to make it.  At least it isn’t win […]

There isn’t much to say about today except that it’s cold and gloomy.  The forecast called for partly sunny but we haven’t seen much sun yet.  Highs aren’t even expected to reach the 40s, so it’s a drastic c […]

This morning began with clear skies but clouds have moved in since then.  It won’t be very warm today but otherwise not too bad.  At least we have no snow yet but I’m expecting that to happen very soon.  We co […]

Yesterday was another beautiful day here in mid Michigan.  Temps rose into the mid to upper 70s which broke many records.  We certainly did enjoy it and I was able to sleep with my window open for possibly the l […]

Although it’s a bit breezy, it is absolutely gorgeous outdoors.  This is amazing for November 10, and it will probably be the last where we would want to sit outdoors.  My husband is out doing some last minute c […]

Temperatures are a little cooler today but it is otherwise very nice.  Skies are mostly clear with a few clouds passing over, and winds are light to moderate.  Mother Nature just keeps giving us fine weather a […]

Colder temperatures are swinging into the Pacific Northwest out of British Columbia and Alberta with a brisk north to northeasterly breeze forecast on Tuesday. Those winds die down early Wednesday morning and […]

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 […]

TEMPERATURES
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 […]
