Well it's been a while since I've been on the blog. With all the HD conversion, new weather computer and general madness that's TV news getting a link set up from our weather computers to the blog has taken sometime.

It's Valentines Day and there is a lot of love in the forecast. Dry and milder conditions are arrving today and will be sticking around for a while. This weekend we're going to see high temperatures in the 60s. A first for 2008.

Valentines day is an important day in the weather forcast for Western Oregon & Southwest Washington. It usually means and end of our chances of seeing low elevation snow. From now on sun angles are getting higher and temperatures are becoming warmer. The chance of seeing snow on the valley floor falls of rapidly. I won't go out on a limb and say it's impossible to get snow after Valentines Day-especially this year, but it's a slim chance and best.

Enjoy the next few days looks like a taste of spring is on the way. This weekend I'm sure we're going to smell back yard BBQs and maybe even somebody will fire up a lawn mower! Can summer be far off?

Cheers
Dave
