Friday: Noticeably cooler today (highs 80-85). Much cooler Saturday with maybe some sprinkles or a brief light shower in the morning - highs 75-80. Hot again early next week - check out the predicted temperature chart below. Good news is that the weather pattern is expected to switch over to more fall-like by the end […]
In June 2021, I published a study (Special Report) addressing temperature and precipitation trends across Oregon and the West Coast states. Scroll through the images below for a better understanding of the trends and to put things into perspective. Note that La Nina has had a moderate to major impact on our fall / winter […]
Monday: Whose ready for fall or at least near average temperatures? Above average temperatures are expected to continue over the next 7-10 days. No signs of meaningful rain, either. The pattern may change a little at the end of the month, but reliable data favors a mainly dry pattern with above normal temperatures through September […]
Next Friday (Aug 26) is the last day that the sun will set in the 8:00pm hour. Fall (Autumnal Equinox) is 34 days away (Meteorological Fall occurs on Sept 1). No signs of rain, but there "may" be some end of month changes we'll be talking about next week. Check out the website for lots […]
8:00pm Wednesday: A disturbance to the south of us, moving north at around 10 mph, is allowing thunderstorms to form (this is all part of Monsoon Moisture being drawn up into Oregon). As the embedded disturbance continues north towards us, it "may" trigger thunderstorms across our area. Keyword is "may." In any case, small chances […]
Tuesday: Hot and muggy? Yes, unfortunately it's going to be hot and muggy tomorrow (Wednesday) and Thursday - highs around the mid 90's. Wednesday night will be mild and humid with some cloud cover possible. In fact, there's also a small chance of a thunderstorm here anytime Wednesday afternoon through Thursday evening. Cooler Friday (80-85) […]
Sunday: High temps have been warm over the past 30 days, check out the image! Local fire danger continues to be high. High temperatures will warm a little today and Monday as high pressure to our east / southeast builds northwest / westward into our region. This will cause the general wind flow to start […]
Thursday: Enjoy the "cooler" high temperatures over the next few days because another heat wave is just around the corner! Previous thinking was that high pressure wouldn't be as strong and low pressure systems north of us would push a little closer to our area (which would keep high pressure in check). This is no […]
We've got 44 days until the Autumnal Equinox (Sept 22, astronomical) BUT the Meteorological Fall occurs on September 1st (tied to temperatures). Below, check out the temperatures over the next few days. It's expected to get hot again next week, but there "may" be a change in the pattern which could cause those predicted temps […]
Friday: Our brief cool down will come to an end this weekend, but very hot temperatures (90's) will only be for 2-3 days this time. Highs around 90 tomorrow, mid 90's Sunday (hottest day), then near 90 Monday. Tuesday through the end of next week, highs are expected to drop back into the 80's and […]
