Today has been warm and it has threatened to rain, but we only have had a few sprinkles so far.  Radar looks promising but most of the rain seems to fall apart before reaching us.  We could use some rain, and I […]

Today will be very summer-like, probably one of the few that we have left.  Highs are expected to reach the mid 80s and we should see plenty of sun.  Our last summer holiday is only a week away and I hope that i […]

I love this weather.  Evenings, nights and early mornings are quite humid, but the afternoons are comfortable.  Rain is spotty at best, and temperatures are perfect.  I haven’t had to turn the AC on until the af […]

Yesterday was quite nice  but we did have a few sprinkles of rain in the afternoon.  There were no big storms, just a few popup thundershowers and most didn’t amount to much.  Today has been cloudy so far with a […]

Yesterday was a rather strange day with popup showers and thunderstorms.  Through the day, we heard plenty of distant thunder but we only had one shower which dropped 0.06″ of rain in the afternoon.  Then during t […]

I’m already seeing some storms popping up on radar so I think we will have a wet weekend ahead.  I haven’t watered my garden for a few days, so I’m hoping that the rain doesn’t all miss us.  My weather station i […]

We have had great weather all this week and today will be no exception.  This weekend, however, will be wet if the local weather gurus have it right.  We should see an increase in cloud cover later but no rain i […]

There were numerous thunderstorms which popped up yesterday afternoon, and just like Tuesday, they were moving from the NE to the SW, and remained to the East of us.  Most places received very little rain, but […]

We can’t have nicer weather than what we are getting this week.  Temperatures are perfect and just a few clouds from time to time.  We all still have some Covid symptoms but nothing severe, and we are still t […]

Yesterday was rainy on the western side of the state.  Here where I am, all we got was some sprinkles which left 0.01″ in my gauge.  Today was supposed to start out with clouds, then clear up for the afternoon. A […]

Most wildfire starts during Pacific Northwest summers occur on just a couple of days, when large dry lightning outbreaks impact the region. The most extreme dry lightning outbreaks can cause […]

I’m really enjoying this weather.  It seems so good to have the windows open for a change, instead of having the AC on all day.  The high today is expected to only reach the upper 70s and the humidity will be l […]

Monsoon moisture is surging into the Inland Northwest Tuesday evening as an upper level low spins off the coast of Oregon. On Monday, I reported that Wednesday was likely to see thunderstorm activity pushed […]

This has been a perfect summer day.  There was a lot of sun and mild, but not hot, temperatures.  We had just enough breeze to open the windows and air out the house.  This entire week is expected to be like th […]

We had a thunderstorm yesterday afternoon which dropped 0.74″ of rain on us.  Overnight, we received another 0.03″, so I think we have enough rain for a while.  Today was supposed to be the beginning of our c […]
