Thursday, November 24, 2011 1:16 P.M. November 23, 2011 – taken from KOMO News I finally found some stats from the storm that hit us earlier this week.

One Storm Down, Another To Go
Wednesday, November 23, 2011 9:23 A.M. The Pacific Northwest has seen incredible amounts of rain over the last 48 hours. A stationary front stalled over our region and directed relatively warm, moist air over our region, giving us heavy rain and strong winds, especially further south along the Oregon coast. In the lowlands, anywhere from […]

Monday, October 24, 2011 11:46 P.M. The graphic above shows the temperatures and precipitation predicted each day out to 16 days in the future by the GFS (Global Forecast System) model.

An Intense Low and SNOW!!!
November 21, 2009 1:38 P.M. Look at the graphic above. It shows the track of the vigorous low I was talking about in earlier posts. This low looks like it will not bring high winds to our area, but the coast and southwest interior could get slammed. Usually we don’t see winds as strong as […]
Calming Down a Little
November 20, 2009 3:44 P.M. Hey everybody! Many of my devoted Garfield High School following saw me in the Messenger, the school newspaper today. I’m truly humbled to have had such a great article written about me and to have been given the chance to show something I have started with the rest of the […]
