Weather reports on whatever I decide to report on.
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 quote myself: “This shouldn’t even lead you to believe that we won’t hit 90 again at some […]
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. I had a brief reprieve […]

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 3rd. Wind data was not accurate until the end of the month, so it is not included. These data […]
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 much it for wind for the foreseeable future (which is like three days when it comes to that). Temperatures […]
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 be Wednesday, with cooler temperatures returning this weekend. This will be the first time we’ve hit 80 […]
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 unsettled pattern is coming to a close as the atmospheric river shuts off. While Pasco still […]
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 values, while others are now above average for the month of April (and it’s only the 12th!). For me, at least, […]

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 […]
