Hey @ReedTimmerUSA, a friend of mine just took this shot.
“Hey Jeff, thought you’d like to see what just passed south of my house in Norman, Oklahoma.”
The only change is you won’t see me at Fox 12 Oregon anymore. But I hope to stay a trusted weather source for you, especially when the weather gets wild. Love you all!
Today is my last day at Fox 12. So much love for my co anchors Joe V. & Bonnie Silkman. Going to miss working with these two, and many other coworkers.
For those asking, I’ll be staying local in the PDX metro. Working for a company called Avangrid, providing forecasts for energy traders (focused on solar and wind farms). I’ll keep posting stuff to social media from time to time..
The aurora borealis was visible last night in southwest Washington! This was the view from Washougal, WA. Thanks to Cheryl Crume for sharing! #NorthernLights
I see some "termination dust" ❄️ around the peak of Mt. Hood... a sign of the changing season. Snow levels should dip even lower this upcoming Tuesday and Wednesday. Snow accumulations could occur down to about 6,500-7,500 feet. #ORwx
We had some healthy downpours across the Portland metro area yesterday evening. My wife took an interesting photo around 7:30pm of a possible wall cloud near the Columbia River. @NWSPortland
Happy Friday! Today is another First Alert Weather Day due to hot afternoon conditions and wildfire smoke. A new fire burning in the Willapa Hills could lead to diminishing air quality in the Portland metro area.
The infrastructure is much different in Alabama compared to Oregon & Washington. Many homes and schools don’t have AC in the Pacific Northwest.
Sincerely,
“You Whiney People”
@WeatherJefe@skibowl You whiney people wouldn't last a week here in Alabama, in mid July. It's cooling down a little now, but still 87° with 60% humidity. Mid July, it gets 95°+ with a "real feel temp" of 105°+, with high humidity. So hot the mosquitoes damn near burst into flames.
Bleh... this heat wave is taking an ugly turn in the Pacific Northwest. Conditions are turning real smoky along & west of the Cascades. This is our view of Mt. Hood (or lack thereof) from @skibowl.
Meteorological summer has ended (June-August). It was the 5th warmest on record in Portland. Records go back to 1940. In Astoria it was the 4th warmest. July was scorching hot, but just slightly warmer than normal in June & August
