Weather

Summer kicked off on Sunday and just in case you didn't believe it, that sizzling season is making itself known this week. Temps in the upper 90's will seem tame in comparison with what's in store this weekend.

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.

If you blinked, you probably missed spring. I swore I just had the heater on wearing my winter coat inside and now they're telling me we're getting weather in the triple digits literally tomorrow as of typing this. I hope your air conditioner is working...

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.
Last weekend, we enjoyed a little summer preview as far as w…

UFOs. Are you among the Believers? Are you among the Deniers? Do you find yourself curious but among those who are simply unsure? Join the club. Any of them.

We just had a weekend with high temperatures in the 80s. A few weeks ago, the irrigation water in the Yakima Valley began to flow, sprinkler systems were checked out and put into service, and we adopted the full head of steam into spring.

As though we haven't been through enough this past year, now one forecaster is turning our world upside down and shattering plans for what was supposed to have been a very beautiful and relatively warm Spring!

Timmy got some footage of that sky explosion on Thursday night!

Don't let the warm 50+ degrees we enjoyed today fool you. Winter is not letting go quite yet. In fact, there's another BIG winter storm headed for the Cascade Mountain passes that could produce upwards of 2 feet of snow.

UPDATE: Stage 1 Burn Ban In Yakima County LIFTED
The weekend is upon us once again and like last weekend, I had a backyard fire in my plans. Well, I don't mean to say that my backyard would be on fire, rather, I was looking forward to firing one up in my outdoor fireplace...

Winter has revealed its more serious side over the past few days. More snow than forecast fell in the Yakima Valley over the weekend and record snowfall occurred elsewhere, including the most snowfall in a 24 hour period in Seattle in over 50 years.

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.
