weather

After a warm, yet, pleasant holiday weekend, the heat has been turned up in the Yakima Valley. Temperatures in excess of 100 degrees this week.

A few days ago the reports said we were in for some showers, dropping the temps into the lower 60's after enjoying ALMOST 90-degree heat for days last week so I checked the forecast and thankfully my warning to hold off on washing your car, rang true.

You know whose leaving the door open? The Jet Stream. Real quick FYI we're in for some nasty weather the next few days so don't bother leaving the door open. Shut that thing and make sure it's secure.

As much as we rely upon 21st Century weather forecasting that utilizes the latest technologies, weather can still be unpredictable. Mother Nature has her plans, and the rest of us can just prepare for the worst and be thankful for the best.

Inquiring minds wanna know!

A wind advisory is in effect from 10 am Thursday through 9 pm Friday. U.S. National Weather Service (NWS) expects winds up to 35 mph, gusts up to 45 mph on Thursday. Stronger winds expected Friday, 30 to 40 mph with gusts of 50 to 55.

Brace yourselves, Washingtonians, for a late winter storm that has begun across the region and will continue through the weekend. Ironically, it is Western Washington and not as much Eastern Washington. which will bear the largest snowfall and therefore interruption to normal life.

This week, the National Weather Service is forecasting a cooling down, which has already begun. By Thursday, the forecast is calling for a 50% chance of snow, with a high temperature of 25. (remember Saturday was 58 degrees?) The overnight low is projected to get down to 10 degrees Friday night.

Batton down the hatches! Tie-down the tarps! A couple of extra squirts of toupe' glue! It's going to be windy for at least the next 24 hours. The National Weather Service had issued a HIGH WIND WARNING which ended earlier today, however, I found that curious since the much more brisk gusts…

It likely won't be a record-setting storm that will produce 8-foot drifts and ground aircraft but there is an official WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY in effect for our area.

Be careful out there driving this week and bundle up! Hopefully, there will be enough snow for a snowball fight!

Another storm will move across Washington and Oregon tonight and continue to drop snow (sometimes heavy) through Wednesday evening.
