Weather reports on whatever I decide to report on.
It’s not often that we talk about deep low-pressure systems coming for the Pacific Northwest this late in the season, but here we are with an atmospheric river that is looking to do just that. We’ve had a small amount of rain today in the area, with 0.04 inches falling so far at the Tri-Cities […]
Author’s Note: This is the last of a weekly series on geology for a class I am taking this semester at BYU-Idaho. This week’s prompt required students to show the effects of climate change in our local area. Other posts from this assignment can be found under the “Geology 111” category. If I had to pick […]
Meteorological spring began on the first, but Mother Nature is using it to give the West Side their first taste of early-summer. At 4pm at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, the temperature was 73 breaking the old record of 68 which was set in 1998. Seattle isn’t the only one breaking records, though. The last time Seattle […]

This week’s prompt required students to look at earthquake patterns in the area they live in. Other posts from this assignment can be found under the “Geology 111” category. Earlier this semester, I wrote an […]
Author’s Note: This part of a weekly series on geology for a class I am taking this semester at BYU-Idaho. This week’s prompt required students to find a news article, post it on our blogs and explain how plate tectonics played a role in the situation.

An atmospheric river is set up to douse almost the entire West Coast. Raising freezing levels today and tomorrow will aid Thanksgiving travelers the next couple of days, keeping snow off of the major passes. By midnight Monday night, the freezing level in much of Oregon will be above 9,000 feet with freezing levels remaining near […]
If it seems like you’ve gotten a lot of snow so far this season, you’re not wrong. All of Oregon is above average for snowfall thus far, as well as most of Washington and southern Idaho. This is good for improving our ongoing drought situation, especially in eastern Oregon where the drought is still keeping […]
Yup, you read that unfortunate headline right. The high at my house today in St. Anthony, Idaho is going to around 4, while the high where the Curiosity Rover is on Mars is forecasted to be 28. In fact, 10 states will be completely colder that the high at Curiosity and another 18 states will have […]
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 […]
