Weather reports on whatever I decide to report on.
The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for the Columbia Basin and Yakima Valley from 10:00 Monday to 10:00 Tuesday. The Cascade Mountains also have an alert posted, but Walla Walla was left out of the advisory area. Light precipitation is forecast to spread from west to east across Eastern Washington and […]
Coming in the middle of fall, Halloween has historically been a mixed bag for the Columbia Basin. Most weather conditions (except extreme heat) are possible this time of year – my dad even remembers a bit of snow one Halloween growing up in Finley. For Halloween 2022, trick or treaters and their parental entourage should […]
This blog post is a response to the following question, which I received over on my Facebook page – Tri-Cities Weather: Mark, I remember all the Easters here in the Tri Cities as being WINDY and COOL. Never weather good enough to dress up nice for Easter Sunday. Is my memory faulty or is it […]

We will be leaving the month with dropping temperatures as winds in the upper atmosphere shift to bring cooler air south out of Canada. […]
Here we go boys and girls, this is what we’ve been dreaming of! Snow is set to arrive along I-15 beginning Friday Night and lasting into Christmas Day. The Weather Service offices in Salt Lake City and Pocatello have thrown a couple of winter alerts our way, so let’s take a look at the situation. […]
I shamelessly admit that making a Christmas forecast right now is more of a crap shoot than anything, but I thought I might shed some light of the general idea that the Pacific Northwest is looking at here in two weeks. Before I start, though, take everything I say here with a grain of salt. Long-range Forecast […]
