Skies were clear this morning, but now mostly cloudy skies have appeared.  We do have rain in our forecast for this afternoon and we really could use it.  The lawn is getting brown again.  Today should be the wa […]

A critical fire weather event is now underway for SW Washington and Western Oregon. Satellite imagery shows two large smoke plumes emanating from the Double Creek Fire in Central Oregon and the Goat Rocks Fire in […]

There really isn’t much more to say about our weather other than it being great!  We are expecting it to end, however, with much cooler temps and rain for the weekend and into early next week.  Regardless, our w […]

We have clear skies, light breezes, and very warm temperatures.  It’s warm enough to have the AC back on but it got a rest the past three days.  I had my window open last night and actually got cold.  Lows fell to […]

September is here!  September 1 marks the beginning of meteorological fall in the Northern Hemisphere.  Of course, that’s not exactly how Pacific Northwest weather works.  In reality, early-mid September often fe […]

Like many places in the Western United States during summer of 2022, Salt Lake City has been tying old records and setting new ones. Earlier this summer, Salt Lake City International Airport recorded a high of […]

This Labor Day Weekend has been pretty nice weather-wise.  Yesterday was hot with highs reaching into the upper 80s.  Thunderstorms developed late in the day, and just seemed to hang around without much m […]

Although the weather service considers today as the first day of autumn, our weather seems more like mid July.  Temps are in the mid 80s, and light breezes  make it feel even hotter.  It sounds like we’ll have a […]

The winds are a bit strong today but that helps keep the temperatures at a comfortable level.  I don’t have the AC on today because of the nice breeze blowing through my house.  Even though it is quite warm, i […]

Summer 2022 is one that Pacific Northwest seasonal forecasters would like to have back. On the heels of a very wet and cool spring, and with La Nina conditions persisting in the Tropical Pacific, forecasters […]

The storms that rolled through southern Michigan yesterday certainly left their mark.  Fortunately, my area was spared from much of the damage, but other areas, including Detroit weren’t as lucky.  My daughter l […]
