Fog & Frost

8:57 AM Fri, Jan 30, 2009 |


Deja Vu...Dense fog again this morning. Like yesterday the fog will be slow to burn off. We should see some sun breaks by early afternoon. The freezing temperatures this morning are causing headaches on local roads. Many streets have a coating of frozen fog and ice. Temperatures will climb into the 40s this afternoon.

We won't have a problem with fog tomorrow or freezing temperatures. A weak weather system will arrive...



One More Time

12:46 PM Tue, Jan 27, 2009 |


Here we go again! Cold air is in place and now weather system is pushing in from the Gulf Of Alaska. I'm forecasting 1" to 2" of snow through the morning hours in the Portand / Vancouver metro area.

The good news is this is going to be a short lived event. Snow this morning will turn to snow and rain early this afternoon. As the temperatures warm rain will wash away the snow by this evening.

Precipitation will remain r...



A bit of a break

7:11 AM Mon, Jan 26, 2009 |

A nice break from winter today, mostly sunny skies and temperatures in the 40s. Even the east winds coming out of the Columbia River Gorge will settle down. Peak gusts will stay under 25mph. The break will be short lived, tonight a cold front arrives from the north. Clouds will increase and Tuesday will be a fairly damp day. Snow levels will stay low and several inches of freshies will fall at local ski resorts.

From Wednesday through ...



Another shot of snow?

10:00 PM Fri, Jan 23, 2009 |

Saturday will be a chilly and cloudy. Rain showers will be possible late in the day as a weak weather system arrives. No doubt about cold air arriving Saturday night. Modified arctic air will arrive from the north. Temperature Sunday morning will be in the 20s. Moisture will be limited but I think it's possible a few flurries will fall Sunday. No accumulation in Portland or the valley but the mountains may get an inch or two.

Temperatu...



Have you heard the rumor?

10:51 PM Wed, Jan 21, 2009 |

Cloudy skies have returned to the forecast and so has a chance of rain. As a weak weather system moves across the region today we might see a few sprinkles Thursday morning .

Drier conditions will come back Friday then things could get interesting. Colder air returns late Saturday along with some moisture. Showers Saturday night and Sunday might start as snow showers. If snow does fall amounts will be very light. Frankly I think we're ...



More Rain On The Way

11:30 AM Mon, Jan 05, 2009 |

Expect milder but wet conditions Monday with rain showers and snow levels climbing to 5,000 feet.

Showers will taper off this evening but the break will be short lived. A strong storm will arrive Tuesday. That storm will be windy and rainy from the coast to the Cascades with rainfall amounts reaching 1.5 to 2.0 inches.

Oh No Not Again!

8:35 PM Thu, Jan 01, 2009 |

Welcome to the new year, looks like mother nature won't give us a break. Rain, wind, flooding and low elevation snow. Anybody else hear hoof beats, from the four horseman of the weather apocalypse! A fire hose has been turned on the Pacific Northwest. A rainfall record in Portland 1.25" today. Some locations in the coast range have seen over 5". The heaviest rain tapers off after midnight


Colder air will arrive and snow leve...
