Today's been hazy with smoke filled skies across the area. Satellite imagery clearly shows the smoke being drawn north into the state from the fires in Northern California. I don't know of anyone who's enjoying the heat and humidity (and I'm sure you don't either). For quite some time now, our region has been on […]
With the exception of a two to three days here and there, high temperatures have been running above the seasonal average since May 28. I don't need to mention our few days of 80+ degree high temps in April and the near 110 degree heat in June. Hasn't it also been more humid this summer? […]
I'll talk about relatively cooler temperatures and possible rain here in a bit. But first, let's discuss thunderstorm possibilities today (Friday). We're on the western periphery of strong high pressure that's just to our east. Since the circulation around high pressure is clockwise, this is drawing up warmer air and monsoon moisture from the south […]
Heatwave We're now in the warmest part of year, with our normal high temperature at around 86 degrees (normal low is near 52). Temperatures are expected to be hot this week and into next weekend, with highs mostly around 90 to 97. Some data this morning hints that high temperatures on Thursday and Friday may […]
It was great meeting many of you at BMD this past weekend. You all are awesome! Note this website is a work in progress, so bear with any changes. Enjoy the cooler weather today (high temps mid 70's-around 80), as a warming trend begins Thursday. We'll then peak in the upper 80's-low 90's over the […]
All eyes are now on Bohemia Mining days this Saturday and Sunday. Enjoy relatively cooler high temperatures today and Friday (78-83). For BMD, expect nice weather with daytime temperatures near to a slightly above the normal of 84 degrees. Sunday will be the warmest day. Don't forget to put on sunblock! Here's the link to […]
Sunday July 11: Above normal high temperatures will continue through Tuesday or Wednesday before a mid/late week cool down occurs. High temps Thurs-Fri will be near the normal of 82. Overnight lows will bottom out at 50-54, which is right at the seasonal average. Bohemia Mining Days (Sat/Sun) will probably have high temps in the low-mid 80's. […]
You probably noticed less marine clouds this morning, which means more sun and warmer high temperatures into the mid 80's to low 90's. This will continue through the weekend. Normal high is near 82. I've attached one of the computer model's temperature predictions. Not exact, but it gives an idea on what things *may* look […]
Check out the smoke plume from the Jack Fire in the visible satellite image (started at approx 5:00pm on July 5). Also take a look at yesterday evening's webcam photo of the fire. This fire is not a threat to our local area and is well east of Roseburg. At this time, the general low […]
Now that we're past July 4th, next up on the big event radar is Bohemia Mining Days (BMD) on July 17-18. Computer model accuracy beyond 5-days drops significantly so take the pictured model predictions with a grain of salt. When I look at what the models show between the surface and 18,000 feet up, there's […]
