Charlie Phillips commented on the post, La Nina Watch Issued!, on the site Charlie's Weather 7 years, 2 months ago
Patricia, you deal with MUCH harsher winters in Michigan than we do in Portland, so I completely understand! For us, La Ninas just mean 44 degrees and rainy instead of 45 degrees and rainy, and there’s nothing skiers love more than low snow levels 🙂
Thank you Laura and Jeff! I am definitely looking forward to the shift too. They’ll allow salt…[Read more]

With the days rapidly getting shorter and the first major system of autumn only hours away, I’ve been getting more and more excited for the beginning of storm season. There’s nothing I love more than a good […]

I hope you can forgive me for the click-baity, questionably accurate title. From an astronomical perspective, autumn will begin on 1:02 pm PDT Friday, September 22, 2017, and meteorological fall officially began […]

With our record dry summer and the hottest August on record for many places around the Pacific Northwest, we’ve inevitably had an incredibly active fire season and the smokiest summer I can ever remember seeing […]

Awesome post, Charlie. I had not seen the fire-spreading graphic nor the 12-hr video, both great to see. They really show how it quickly moved from ridge top to ridge top.

Crazy heavy smoke today… wish it would let up! I can’t remember every seeing a summer that has consistently been this smoky.

With Southeastern Texas still reeling from Hurricane Harvey, it feels a little surreal to be talking about another major hurricane impacting the United States. But with Hurricane Irma, that may well be the case. […]

Great write-up and graphics regarding Irma! Incredible how powerful the winds are (strongest ever measured in the Atlantic, I think).

Well the eclipse is over and it was definitely a wondrous experience. I got to experience less than a minute of totality from the hills south of Maupin. The temperature drop, the twilight look…and finally the […]

Monday’s solar eclipse was the most breathtaking natural event I’ve ever witnessed in my life. The transition from light to dark was frighteningly fast, and I was dumbfounded by the beauty and extent of the sun’s […]

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing your awesome experience and putting to words the feelings we all shared. What a great day!

Your experience with totality is very similar to mine – so much more than I expected and it was a blur in time. Thank you for a great write-up about it.

No real changes… coast is still looking cloudy for eclipse time. I strongly, strongly recommend heading a couple miles inland.

Can you believe that there are less than 48 hours to go until the Great American Eclipse of 2017? I get giddy just thinking about it. The weather is looking spectacular for nearly everyone – the coast will l […]

Thanks Charlie! Any update on the columnar cloud numbers or on coastal cloud cover more generally?

Super post. Lots of information. Me, as much as I hate winter, I’m hoping for a no on the full-blown la Nina….but like everyone else, I get what I get. Thanks again, for the info.
Great write-up, Charlie! I’m more familiar with La Niña/El Nino effects on the East Coast and California. Good to know that chances are better for snowfall here in the PNW during La Ninas! My snow board is ready to go. I received 16.0″ here last year, mostly from the surprise 10-incher in January. We live on a long, steep hill at 600′ and I got home just in time at the start of that storm as the roads were getting quite slippery. I was able to enjoy it all from the comfort of home compared to my 7-hour drive home from work during the smaller December snowfall – ugh! #notenoughsnowremovalequipment, #nosaltallowed.
Patricia, you deal with MUCH harsher winters in Michigan than we do in Portland, so I completely understand! For us, La Ninas just mean 44 degrees and rainy instead of 45 degrees and rainy, and there’s nothing skiers love more than low snow levels 🙂
Thank you Laura and Jeff! I am definitely looking forward to the shift too. They’ll allow salt on the roads this year, but I don’t think it helped with the surprise January snowstorm – there’s not much you can do once the snow has already compacted onto the ground.
