Granted, Summer isn’t quite emanating brilliance like Mr. Christ in Leo’s little sketch, but just like Christ, He doesn’t have that much longer to live. I’ll […]
Back to the Status Quo
Tuesday, August 13, 2013 12:28 P.M. Mr. Krupp on the left, and his alter-ego Captain Underpants on the right. Retrieved from the Captain Underpants Wikia Page. I don’t know how many of you read the Captain Underpants books, but I grew up with them. They were based on the premise of Mr. Krupp, an extraordinarily […]
Little Storms
Monday, November 26, 2012 1:37 P.M. I was looking at the models this afternoon, and I noticed that there are a lot of little storms slated to hit our area later this week into next week. None of these storms look particularly strong. In some ways, they look kind of cute… in a nerdy meteorological […]
Storms!
Friday, November 16, 2012 8:50 A.M. I’m happy. You know why I’m happy? Because we will finally see a string of strong storms that will streak from ocean to peak through next week. Now that was clever. Let’s look at the timeline for our storms. Our first storm comes in on Saturday morning. This one […]
I Am Actually Looking At Weather Models
Thursday, October 11, 2012 2:52 P.M. I’m a weather fanatic, and most of you know that. But during the last 80 days, I’ve been out of touch with my meteorological side. Back in September, if you asked me what the weather was going to be a week from now, I would have no clue. All […]
Bye Bye Dry Streak
Saturday, September 8, 2012 9:07 P.M. As I write this blog, I’m listening to Miles Davis’ and John Coltrane’s famous rendition of “Bye Bye Blackbird.” It’s a wonderful song, but as I listen to Miles’ soulful tone, I can’t help but feel a bittersweet sentiment in my soul. Because for me, the “Blackbird” is not […]
Back From The Dead!
My, my my! It certainly has been a long time. Well, I could enamor you with excuses, but I’m not here to justify my actions (or lack thereof). I’m here to predict the weather. To say that June has been rather chilly is an understatement. To quote Scott Sistek of KOMO, “Today marked the 20th […]

Wednesday, March 28, 2012 10:53 A.M. Photo Credit: Jenni Whalen So, I was talking a peek at the weather models this morning, and unfortunately, this morning’s runs look even wetter than before! I’m not complaining, as this will be great for our mountain snowpack, but it is sure to be an inconvenience for many around here. […]
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 […]
Storm Looking Even Bigger
Monday, November 21, 2011 10:07 A.M. I have to be brief, as I will have classes in 20 minutes, but I thought I’d give you an update on the major storm that will impact us tonight into Wednesday. I looked over the model runs this morning, and it looks as if the storm is now […]
