Before I was interested in meteorology, I was fascinated by volcanoes. Even as early as preschool, I would religiously watch my many volcano VHS tapes, and I’d make my parents read this book to me. I was […]

Hi all! I was in Seattle this weekend for yet another fantastic Pacific Northwest Weather Workshop, and I was actually lucky enough to present on some research I had done identifying substantial drops in wind […]

Within a few weeks, La “Nina” will be replaced by her cousin, La “Nada,” which is the moniker we’ve lovingly given to ENSO-Neutral Conditions in the Tropical Pacific, where we are neither in a La Nina or an El […]

After such a prolonged, wet late winter/early spring in 2017, I was hoping that 2018 would feature a more abrupt transition to the warm, sunny stretches of April that give us a taste of our beautiful summer to […]

I’m back! My sincere apologies for being AWOL the last month. I have, however, been working hard on WeatherTogether’s weather models, though I’m having some connectivity issues uploading them to the site since […]

Glad to see you back online. I may have to call in sick on Monday!

Charlie Phillips wrote a new post, Another Snowstorm for Portland Tonight!, on the site Charlie's Weather 6 years, 9 months ago
As expected, the innocuous, non-sticking snow that was so persistent yesterday quickly ballooned into a full-fledged, crippling lowland snow event last night as heavy band of snow pushed through the Portland metro […]

Another day, another poorly-forecast lowland snow event.
Our low-pressure system was stronger and faster than modeled, and as a result, it generated more and heavier precipitation than expected. Yesterday’s […]

Charlie Phillips wrote a new post, More Snow for Portland Tuesday Night!, on the site Charlie's Weather 6 years, 9 months ago
We probably ended up with approximately an inch of snow at our place in the Woodlawn neighborhood of Northeast Portland from yesterday’s late-season snowstorm. Fellow WeatherTogether blogger Jeff Taylor ended up […]

Charlie Phillips wrote a new post, Snowing in Portland!, on the site Charlie's Weather 6 years, 9 months ago
This will just be a quickie, as I’m getting up early tomorrow to go skiing at Mt. Hood Meadows. But after getting scattered, non-sticking snow showers for much of the day, the Portland metro area is finally seeing […]

Charlie, have a blast skiing today!
I received 3.3” total snowfall as of this morning’s measurement at a 600’ elevation (0.3” from the afternoon total, which melted, then another 3.0” from the evening, steadier snowfall as temperatures dropped). Kudos to our pet care person who pulled double-duty and measured it for me!-
Fairly rare for both Portland and central Maryland to have a similar snow event at just about the same time! Warm mid-40s on Sunday wiped out the snowpack, esp with the stronger sun and increased sun angle. Thanks for posting such a detailed analysis for your snow there in Portland. Have a blast skiing up there on Mt Hood Meadows! Enjoy! Kevin

Wow, that’s an extremely impressive storm! How often do you get sea foam like that?

Charlie Phillips commented on the post, Spring/Summer Outlook, on the site Snellville Weather Center 6 years, 9 months ago
Nice post Jeremy! It certainly has been very hot in the Pacific Northwest over the past several summers – I hope we don’t have as bad of a fire season as we had in 2014, 2015, and especially 2017, when the Eagle Creek fire roared through the Columbia River Gorge and brought falling ash to Portland!

Charlie Phillips wrote a new post, No Snow for NW Washington Sunday morning 🙁, on the site Charlie's Weather 6 years, 9 months ago
This will be a brief post, I just wanted to let folks know that our chances of snow for San Juan/Whatcom Counties Sunday morning have dramatically decreased due to our shortwave taking a more southerly track. […]

Thanks to an atmospheric river last Sunday that brought flooding to many rivers flowing off the Olympics and Washington Cascades and a strong ridge just offshore for the first half of this week, we’ve had mild […]

It has been a wonderful past few days for mountain snowfall, and we have gobs of additional snow on the way this week! I was skiing in Whistler from the 14th through the 18th, and although the first two days were […]

Charlie Phillips wrote a new post, Wind, Rain, Mountain Snow, and Big Waves this Week!, on the site Charlie's Weather 6 years, 10 months ago
After a brief break this weekend, the coming week will feature the classic quadfecta of winter weather: rain, wind, mountain snow, and big waves on the coast. As far as mountain snow goes, I couldn’t be happier, a […]

Another great write-up, Charlie! Looking forward to having a more active pattern starting Monday.
I’ve walked the beach at Pillar Point where Mevericks is held. Amazing waves can generate, especially during winter storms.
Have a great time in a Whistler!!

I’m back! I apologize for the unannounced blogging hiatus – the truth is that I’ve been a tad burnt out lately. Interestingly, I don’t think it has as much to do with work as much as my commute to and from work, […]

Good to have you back, Charlie! It was a ho-hum period anyway but now looking forward to the more active weather.

WE DID IT!
In an event that far exceeded my expectations, Western Washington and even parts of Western Oregon saw their first White Christmas since 2008. Our storm made landfall further south than modeled, […]

I am so glad that someone was able to get a White Christmas this year, our last was in 2010 (and before that 1995) so as you can see ours are even less frequent than yours

Awesome Charlie! I can’t get enough pictures of all the volcanic activity these days. I just learned 2 new terms the past week – Laze and Vog. Fascinating to think about what the final result of all this activity will be. Thanks for posting!

Charlie, I am a quilter and I just came back from a Hawaiian vacation before the volcano eruptions. I was wondering if I have permission to print this picture of the volcano. I want to add it to the side of my quilt I am making from my vacation.
Thanks for reading my blog Mary! I hope you had a wonderful vacation. You can absolutely use a picture of the volcano for the quilt. The images are not mine – they are from the USGS, but they are in the public domain and are free to use. If you want to share, I’d love to see a picture of it when it is done!
