Looking over the radar! #orwx #wawx #auroras

Happy Earth Day! Eastern Washington and eastern Oregon have landscapes that are breathtaking. Here are a few selected photos from our forecast area. From left to right: Mt. Adams, Echo, and Wallowa County. On the bottom: John Day Fossil Beds. #wawx #orwx #EarthDay2024

Spot forecast verified ✅ for this morning’s @AllAirborneBN commemorating the 555th Parachute Infantry Battalion, the Triple Nickles!#orwx @NWSPendleton #LivingtheLegacy

As the saying goes: "All good things must come to an end"🥹. While dry, calm, and warm weather lasts through the weekend, confidence is extremely high wet and active conditions return on Monday. ☀️➡️☔️ #wawx #orwx

The latest GOES loop, focused on the #PacificNW, shows thick layers of smoke continuing to filter into eastern Washington and Oregon. Expect smoke and haze to persist through the weekend. #orwx #wawx

Our strongest heatwave of the season is underway. Everyone is at risk from the dangers of extreme heat, but these groups are more vulnerable than most. Ensure that your loved ones and neighbors are safe from the heat and remain #WeatherReady weather.gov/safety/heat #ORwx #WAwx

Power outages during heat can be especially dangerous. Ensure that you know what actions to take if you lose power during extreme heat. Keep your house cool, keep your body cool, and know when and where to go if your home becomes uncomfortable. #NIHHIS #HeatSafety #SummerReady

@LizDueweke That’s amazing Liz!

Hi. I just wanted to say thank you, PNW. Seattle will always be part of who I am. It will always be part of my heart. Since change is the only constant in life, I am starting a new chapter in Texas. I appreciate all the kind and loving comments…

Altocumulus Castellanus, aka ACCAS, already developing over NWS Pendleton this morning. These popcorn-like clouds are good indicators of instability at the mid-altitudes. Photo courtesy of meteorologist Matthew Callihan. #orwx #wawx

Check out this Dust Devil that formed earlier this afternoon over the burn scar from the Yakitat Road Fire. Notice the ash and soot being lifted high into the air!

“Love” this ❤️! And just in time for our anniversary! #orwx

Skies are starting to clear which could mean (no promises) that you will get a glimpse of an aurora borealis early this AM. Skies will be mostly clear Wed night, although the G scale will be lower. swpc.noaa.gov

Doppler Radar detected an odd "burst" of reflectivity between 7:15-8:00 AM this morning near Benton City. Typically, non-meteorological returns such as these are birds. But, this was in a uniform circle. hmmm. Would anyone in the Benton City area know what this could be?

Are you dreaming of a white Christmas? ⛄ Here is a select look historically at Walla Walla, Pendleton, and Yakima. For a map showing the historic chance across the country, check out: climate.gov/news-features/…

Radar showing freezing rain moving into the Yakima/Kittitas Valleys. What are you seeing?

Flurries in Pasco! The fog is starting to lift and with the cold air we are squeezing some light flurries out of the low clouds. The flurries will be spotty and should end by 10 AM.

Brrrr... Get ready for the coldest temperatures so far this Fall! 20s Thursday morning!
