I have a confession to make. I blew the forecast for today. That's the most polite way of putting it. In private company I call it something else, KGW would likely be fined by the FCC if I mention it in this forum.

Last night I stood up in front of the green weather wall and said, hey it's going to be cloudy, damp and cool for the first day of summer. Now that I've wiped most of the egg off my face, I'll tell you a secret. Despite satellite images, computer models and doppler radar. Mother nature still has the last word!

Skycams at the coast showed clouds, rain gauges at Astoria, were clicking with light precipitation amounts.
Computer models showed a nice layer of moist air coming ashore from the southwest. Well it's not the first time I've been wrong nor will it be the last. What have I learned from this? the first lesson from meteorology 101. Weather is dynamic, and not always as easy to predict as one might think.

Back to square one
Dave
