    Thursday afternoon, the National Weather Service in Pendleton posted Winter Storm Watches for their entire warning area. For the Tri-Cities and Hermiston, the statement calls for 3-6 inches of snow falling Friday […]

    Doppler radar is one of my favorite tools for viewing weather data. Its amazing to me that using radio waves, we can see light rain and snow, tornadoes, and fine details in hurricanes. Not only can we see where […]

    Author’s Note: This post will mostly be a reminiscent story, but there’s some weather data down at the bottom if you’re interested.

    One year ago today, a childhood dream of mine came true – to see a total solar […]

    • Dang, you learned about it in elementary school? I thought I was early when I heard about it in middle school. And are you sure that living in the path of totality was a coincidence? 😉

    Well, I’ll start this update off with an apology. In my last update, I wrote about a major pattern change that would essentially mark the end of our 100-degree days for the season. In fact, I’ll even directly […]

    If you’re cursing the heat and feeling like it’s been warmer than usual, you’re not wrong. We haven’t set any records this July for the Tri-Cities, but our average high for this month has been 95.3, nearly four […]

    I have not seen this particular issue, but I do know that when you go into your media and click on an image, it will give you an option to edit and in there is an option to rotate an image. I don’t know if this will resolve your issue, though.

    • That’s what I was thinking too. Thanks for chiming in on this, @markingalls! @kevinshaw, did that fix it?

    • Thanks for your suggestion Mark. I am pretty sure I tried to do that but will revisit it again when I get the time. Been paddling upstream with only one paddle so it seems the past few weeks. Various health issues plus my family visiting last week put me behind, lovingly so of course. Thanks to Nathan for your support also.

    Kilauea has been making national news the last few days, and for good reason. The volcano, which has been continuously erupting since 1983, opened a new fissure Thursday evening in the east side of the Leilani […]

    The following is a review of the weather conditions recorded at my personal weather station in Boardman, Oregon. Data recording began the morning of April 4, so there is nothing available for the 1st through the […]

    The following is a review of the weather conditions recorded at the Tri-Cities Airport in Pasco, Washington. This station is an automated station that is maintained by the National Weather Service. These data are […]

    Last weekend was packed with wind and intermittent showers, which was a stark contrast from the end of the work week. Breezy conditions are expected to last for the remainder of the afternoon, but that’s pretty […]

  • According to the Western Region Climate Center, the Tri-Cities averages 7.10 inches of rain a year while Phoenix’s Sky Harbor Airport averages 7.46 inches. This means that we get less than them most years, but it’s close enough that it doesn’t happen every year.

    It seems like I’ve heard some variation of this phrase semi-frequently – the Tri-Cities gets 300 days of sunshine a year. I know I’ve found myself saying it when I tell someone I’m from Washington and they reply […]

    Blue skies are expected for the entirety of the work week, with temperatures climbing into the 80s for the Mid Columbia with a dry weather pattern in place.  Our first 80-degree day of the year is forecasted to […]

    Wow, we got some seriously beautiful weather Thursday. Friday should be even better with highs reaching well into the 70s and sunny skies. Changes come our way into the weekend when a cold front approaches the […]

    We have had no shortage of rain the last couple of weeks. In fact, we’ve had quite the surplus with many parts of the Mid-Columbia exceeding April rainfall averages by the middle of the month. It looks like this […]

    While the Tri-Cities Airport is still reporting a deficit for rainfall thus far in 2018, Wednesday night’s rainfall helped to bring our numbers a little bit higher. Parts of the area received record rainfall […]

  • I used the T50 template, which has icons that are made specifically to fit the forecast boxes.

  • Mark Ingalls commented on the post, Shrinking glaciers on Mt. Rainier, on the site 7 years ago

    Everything I’ve seen about Mount Shasta indicates that it currently has a general trend of increasing glacier size because of increased precipitation values. I don’t have any links off hand that I can provide, but I have recently been reading a book named ‘Fire Mountains of the West’ that might be of interest to you.
