September 21, 2010 5:43 P.M. Hey guys, I have some breaking news! Ok, just kidding, it’s not really breaking news. The weather models are acting up (I wish they weren’t, THAT would be breaking news!). Tropical systems are being entrained in the westerly flow. This doesn’t necessarily mean we will have a big storm (although […]
Our forecast and the hurricane season in the Atlantic
Wednesday, September 15, 2010 4:15 P.M. Greetings my friends! Recently, we’ve seen a gradual transition to fall from summer. The days are getting shorter, and they are also getting cloudier and rainier. Up until now, though, we’ve been in pretty good shape. Unfortunately for you sun fans, this rain coming in today will be the […]
Some more recent storms
Tuesday, September 14, 2010 3:21 P.M. After the Columbus Day Storm, we would be without a major storm for some time. But we had a major windstorm on November 13, 1981. This storm was actually similar to the Columbus Day Storm in depth and track, but its track took it a little further offshore, preventing […]
How our strongest storms form
September 10, 2010 3:31 P.M. Hey everybody. I’ll pick up the tab on where we left off on yesterday. I must emphasize that the contents of this blog are not my own ideas, sure I’m not copying and pasting (except for quotes), but I’m really relying on a variety of sources including books by Glenn […]
Historical Windstorms of the Pacific Northwest
September 9, 2010 5:01 P.M. While the weather is still pretty boring, I thought it would be a good idea to go over some different topics that are still related to weather, even if they aren’t my own forecasts for the upcoming days. I’ll cover a couple notable storms each day, going in chronological order. […]
The Art of Inconsistency
September 8, 2010 2:30 P.M. Have you ever looked at one eather forecast one day, seen it as forecasting rain, then seeing the forecast switch to sun, only to have it switch back to rain? That is what is happening in the models right now, and it is very, very hard to make accurate forecasts […]
Hurricane Earl, Long-Range Pacific Northwest Weather Forecast
August 30, 2010 7:38 P.M. Hey everybody, I apologize for not updating for like a month and a half, I’ve been out of town practically the whole time. I’m actually still not home yet, I’m in Denver visiting colleges. Hurricane Earl has caught my attention. This system is now a major hurricane, and as of […]
Well into Summer
Thursday, July 15, 2010 9:52 A.M. It’s hard to believe that only a few weeks ago we were wondering if we were ever going to reach 75 degrees for a high. I, for one, was hoping for us to stay at 74 for the rest of the summer. In other words, have a nice, comfortable […]
Finally getting warmer
Thursday, July 1, 2010 4:40 P.M. Remember how I said I didn’t think it was going to get to 75 last week? Well, I was wrong. We finally broke the streak. I was hoping we could extend it as long as possible. Now that it is over however, I am ready for the heat. And […]
I’m back!
Wednesday, June 23, 2010 12:38 P.M. Hey everybody! After a long break from this website due to an extremely hectic schedule, school is officially out, and I have no reason at all to not be writing these forecasts. We have a lot to talk about. The last day we got to 75 degrees was September […]
