TEMPERATURES
April 2022 was quite a chilly one as nearly every day this month averaged below Normal. In fact, only a day or two averaged more than a +1° departure from Normal.  The warmest day, oddly, occurred e […]

Radar is showing a fragmented thunderstorm moving in my direction.  In fact, it’s been on the radar for the past 3 hours but doesn’t seem to know where it want’s to go.  There was a large red cell which seemed t […]

La Ninas typically feature cool and wet springs, and the 2021-2022 La Nina has had that in spades. According to Chief Fox12 Meteorologist Mark Nelsen, Portland just experienced its wettest April on record, the […]

Mother’s Day was quite nice, but we lost our sun half way through the day.  Radar showed some light showers over much of the state but the humidity and dew point was too low for any of it to reach the ground.  T […]

Our day began with clear skies and moderate temperatures.  Now, clouds have taken over but temperatures are quite warm.    Winds aren’t too strong so it is a very pleasant day.  Each day this week will cont […]

The only thing that could make today better would be either warmer temperatures or less wind.  Otherwise, It’s perfect.  We had light rain and clouds half of yesterday, and even when the rain stopped, it was w […]

We have light rain this morning which is expected to end by the afternoon.  The weekend looks great with sun and mild temperatures.  Then we are told that it will get hot next week, with an extended period of 80 d […]

We had light to moderate rain all day on Tuesday leaving us with 0.69 in total.  Skies remained cloudy all morning and have become partly cloudy since then.  Forecasts are calling for a major warm-up next week, w […]

We get one nice day, then a bunch of cloudy, cold days.  Temperatures are in the 50s, so I guess you can’t really call that cold, but it sure isn’t where it ought to be for early May.  I should be out cleaning o […]

After a dreary, cold, damp Saturday, our Sunday is turning out much better.  We had fog and a little drizzle this morning, but now the sky is showing signs of clearing, and we are getting a few peeks at the […]

On April 29, 2022, the temperature dropped to 32°F. at Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI), breaking the daily record of 33° from way back in 1874. This also established the 3rd l […]

Although our temperatures aren’t where they should be, it still has been a very nice morning.  There was a frost but since nothing is planted yet, there was no harm done.  The early spring flowers, which are in b […]

It is now 1:30 pm and our temperatures haven’t even made it into the 40s yet.  I don’t think that they are going to.  Highs today are expected to reach the low 40s, and if the sun comes out, it just may h […]

Compared to the last few days, today is miserable.  It is cold, damp, and windy.  We have had a few periods of sprinkles but no significant rainfall today.  We had a little rain yesterday but the temps were mu […]

Yesterday was another very warm although windy day.  Storms didn’t arrive until the evening, and we did receive a lot of rain but nothing severe.  There was a total of 1.10″ in my gauge this morning.  Today fe […]

Today’s weather was a real treat with highs reaching the low 80s.  We had sun all day with a few scattered clouds here and there.  Clouds are on the increase now with possible showers moving in late tomorrow.  We […]

Although we have rain in the forecast for this afternoon and tonight, this morning is lovely with plenty of sun and mild temperatures.  Our daily highs have been a bit below average but this weekend will make up […]

It seems that our cold, unseasonable weather is leaving us and we can look forward to some real spring-like weather.  Temps should reach well into the 50s today, and everyday this week will continue to get a […]

Last week was a very interesting pattern, given the season.  We had a full week of “Winter In April” weather – including a historic April snowstorm for Portland/Vancouver and temperatures more typical of late […]

Our Easter Sunday was quite nice.  There was some cloud cover  in the early afternoon, but we had sun most of the day.  Temperatures were a bit chilly but not as bad as today.  It feels more like late March tha […]
