Recently by Author (#241)A couple of weeks ago I took a ride on Aftershock. It's a rollercoaster at the Silverwood Amusement Park in North Idaho. The ride throws you around, slams you forward and back, then it hangs you upside down. After about 90 seconds it spits you out, none the worse for wear. All you can do is hold on and enjoy the ride. Yep, that's pretty much our weather this week. Just like the Aftershock, all we can do is hold on and enjoy the ride. This mo... A couple of weeks ago I took a ride on Aftershock.

With forecasted temperatures 30 degrees cooler on the coast many families are packing up the car and headed for the beach. Before you read on - Stop! We've been getting reports from hotels, motels and campgrounds that the NO VACANCY Lamp is lit. When you call to ask if anything is available the answer is "sorry we're booked full." If you don't already have a room reserved you mig... This Morning Michael Convery, said I was going crazy from the heat. I think a lot of us will be getting a little over the next few days! Sunny and record breaking heat is on the way today! Between now and Saturday we're looking at the hottest weather of the year. I'm forecasting a high today of 98 degrees. That will squeak by the current record of 97 degrees. Friday will be even hotter at 102. Yes that will be another record breaker. In 2008 ... To paraphrase Bart Simpson, Hoo chee momma! It's going to get hot. Sunny skies and warm temperatures return again today. Tomorrow is a different story, hot-very hot temperatures are returning. I'm forecasting highs in the upper 90s. Some locations in Western Oregon will reach 100 degrees. The scorching temperatures will be slow to leave. I think 90s will stick around through Saturday. >> Continue reading: Hoo - Chee Momma It's that time of year, when Planet Earth & The Perseid Meteor showers meet in the sky. As a matter of fact this annual meeting between Earth and The Perseids have been observed for almost 2000 years! The Perseids are part of the debris trail from the Swift Tuttle Comet. Late Monday night through early Tuesday morning will be peak viewing. Up to 60 meteors and hour might be visible in the nighttime sky. You don't need a fancy telesc... It's been a crazy day around here today. I was hoping for a nice quiet Monday and could talk about sunny skies and warm August weather. Well that plan got dumped just after 7:00 this morning when the phones lite up with reports of a plane into a house in Gearhart .
The first day of August and it's cloudy and damp. Let's see in just the last 15 minutes Scott McIntire, our morning show director came up to me and said " I'm not liking this" I've got an outdoor picnic dinner. Then Drew Carney chimed in " ya and I've got to go to an outdoor wedding tonight." Hmmm is that pressure from my co-workers I'm feeling? Yes this is a little unusual for August 1st. The last time it rained on this date was back...
It's going to get...
Nuff Said!
