Weather reports on whatever I decide to report on.
With all the snow we’ve received in the Pacific Northwest over the past several weeks, it’s crazy to think that there are still some parts of the region still experiencing drought conditions. Almost all of the drought is centered in the Oregon Cascades and the high deserts south of John Day (with a small amount […]
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 degrees above the “average average” (hope that’s not too confusing) of 91.4.

Breezy conditions are expected to last for the remainder of the afternoon, but that’s pretty much it for wind for the foreseeable future (which is like three days when it comes to that).
