The Ides of March

LOL.  I only know about the Ides of March cause the radio plays a song of theirs (something about a vehicle), and I thought it was cleaver of me to mention it today 😉 But instead of a picture of the band, I thought we might all enjoy this sunrise picture better as I’m always keeping an eye out for a good sunrise (or sunset).

Okay, forecast time, here’s the next 6 days with details below.

More typical March weather

Thursday:  Our “wettest” day, but even so, it won’t be an all day washout, just a few pesky showers moving up the valley during the later P.M. hours.

Friday & Saturday:  Mostly dry both day with only a few showers each day.  Just enough to keep those two days from being totally dry :/  A very typical spring pattern here in western Oregon.  Highs in the mid 50s.

Sunday – Tuesday:  Drier and milder with highs getting closer to 60 again.

It is still March, which means mornings can & will be chilly.  Each morning will start out in the mid to upper 30s these next 6 days.


Quick update to forecast.  I’ve just reviewed some of those nerdy maps and charts I enjoy analyzing, and two things pop out at me.

  1. Some of the showers Thursday afternoon could be quite heavy.  Heavier than I alluded to.
  2. A couple showers seem likely Sunday afternoon/evening; however, most of the day will remain dry, so don’t cancel all your outdoor plans or anything crazy like that.  It just won’t be 100% dry like the graphic above shows.

Have a great day!!

March 12th Update

Week three of March 2018

A pretty typical spring forecast right here. 

Very sunny and mild Monday

Rainy Tuesday

Lots of clouds, sunbreaks, and just the smallest threat of a light shower Wednesday through Friday.

Saturday could have a few more showers; although at this point they look to be wimpy at best, so not a washout by any means.

Sunday the 19th looks mostly dry with a few showers.

Enjoy your week!!

Middle of the night update

Nothing quite like finishing school projects right before the stroke of midnight.  Now that I have those off my plate let’s take a look at the forecast.

Considering how late it is and how tired I am, I think there’s really only two main messages you need to know.

First:  Thursday is going to be rainy and windy most of the day, especially the first half of the day.  Friday will have some showers around also.

Second main message:  Saturday through Monday look amazing for this time of year.  Temps will have no problem getting into the 60s each afternoo!!  Woo hoo!! It’s going to be a fantastic weekend weather wise!!

Third message:  because I care for you all so much. 😉😂  Rain returns next Tuesday afternoon.

Busy week update

Amidst a very week with school projects coming out my ears I can only do a fast update with no super fancy pictures or graphics.  So, here’s what you need to know:


Wednesday:  One more mild and dry day with increasing clouds and a chance for a sprinkle by nightfall.

Thursday:  Rainy much of the day and breezy at times.

Friday:  Lingering showers, but drying out as the day goes on.

Best news of all…

A dry and mild weekend with highs getting up to the upper 50s to low 60s!!

So enjoy your weekend!!!

Monday:  Looks to stay dry and mild before rain arrives next Tuesday.

March 1st

We have a busy few days of weather ahead, so let’s dive right in!!

AA forecast for March 3.1


Some important details:

Today (Thursday):  Cold showers will reign supreme with sunbreaks at times.  Some showers will be heavy and don’t be surprised to see hail in one or two of the showers.  Snow levels will also be quite low.

Overnight Thursday through Friday morning:  Snow levels lower even more close to the valley floor.  You all may not believe me after last week’s misses, but we have a chance for snow again during this time frame.  So keep a close eye on the forecast as we all know these things can change at the last minute 😉

What is likely:  Slushy snow accumulating on most surfaces except the pavement.  Little side note – the higher and stronger sun angel this time of year makes it tough for snow to stick to the pavement.  Snowier in the hills around and outside of town.

Possible, but less confident about:  Enough snow on the roads to affect school or work.

Moving on…

Saturday:  A few cold showers likely with some wet snowflakes mixed in.  An occasional sunbreak later in the day.

Sunday, Monday and Tuesday:  Looking even drier with only a small chance for later afternoon showers.  If you do get it a shower it would be very brief.  Majority of this time will be dry.

A cold end to February

It’s chilly out there and the cooler than normal temps are here to stay for at least another week…


The look ahead

Into March

Wednesday: Wet and windy most of the day.

Thursday:  Cool with showers around.

Friday:  Another day where we could see some snow flying through the air; however, similar to like last week, it seems unlikely that we see any real accumulations.

Saturday -Monday:  Dry almost this entire period with only a small chance for an isolated shower during the late afternoon hours on both Saturday and Sunday.
