We are excited about this partnership and look forward to working with the NOAA and the National Weather Service to help prepare our community for environmental (especially weather) hazards.

The following is a review of the weather conditions recorded at the Tri-Cities Airport in Pasco, Washington. This station is an automated station that is maintained by the National Weather Service. These data are considered preliminary. Temperatures Record high (all-time): 95, set in 1910 and 1925 Record low (all-time): 18, set in 1935 and 1936 […]
It seems like I’ve heard some variation of this phrase semi-frequently – the Tri-Cities gets 300 days of sunshine a year. I know I’ve found myself saying it when I tell someone I’m from Washington and they reply with the typical “oh, so you like the rain.” It’s even so common that the Tri-Cities Visitors […]

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 […]

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 […]
