14 days dry…tying the 4th-longest streak ever! Sprinkles today won’t even count, but the next real showers could arrive Tuesday evening → most likely Wednesday. 🌦 Temps warming, rain totals still up in the air. Where are you feeling the dry streak most?

What if December finally calms down? 🌤️ A few showers today, then mostly dry days with mild mornings, spotty sun breaks, and cooler—but manageable—temps. Tell me—how did December feel where you are: warmer, wetter, or both? #PNWweather #PortlandWeather #winterweatheradvisory

After heavy rain & flooding, the weather finally gives us a break. A calmer stretch is ahead. 🌤️ Only spotty showers through Sunday will help rivers & streams slowly fall after rainfall and today’s flooding. ⚠️ A Flood Watch remains in effect through tomorrow afternoon (4 PM).

First real Cascade snow in a while! ❄️ Tomorrow is a First Alert Weather Day for the Cascades: accumulation starts in the morning, but rain follows Thursday, likely melting some of it.

Something is finally showing in the forecast! The Cascades finally have a real shot at snow next week. The 7-day outlook is showing early totals — still a week out, and we’ll make normal adjustments, but it’s the strongest signal we’ve seen in a while. #PNWweather #CascadeSnow

Rain totals are all over the place — from just over 2" in Salem to more than 9" at Mt. Hood Meadows. Rain since Sunday: Salem ~2.25" Portland 4.68" Tillamook 6.42" Crown Camp 8.75" Meadows 9"+ A huge spread — and it explains why impacts look so different today. What did you get?

Some apps are calling for a “wintry mix” in Portland tomorrow — but that’s not our forecast. Temps rebound to the upper 30s as rain arrives around 5 AM. Snow levels stay 5000–6000 ft = snow stays in the mountains. Local > automated. https://t.co/LMCJI6P4E3

Ever wonder what it’s like inside OMSI’s Planetarium? I got a behind-the-scenes look & even got to control the weather, tour the solar system, & run my own laser light show! The full segment aired on FOX 12 Now last week, and now you can watch it here: 👉

Still feeling pretty spring-like! No major changes ahead — we stay mostly warm and dry into early May. Showers will stick to our south through the weekend. Our best shot at light rain arrives Monday and Tuesday. #FirstAlertWeather @fox12oregon @fox12weather
