Very little wind at my house last night, and a few gusts this morning that rang the chimes. Always interesting how different the weather can be from area to area. Thank you for your forecasts. Merry Christmas Rod!
It was 60 here in canby at 1pm. Then a shower came over and it started to drop temperature. This evening in the mid 40s. One of the mildest Decembers in a long time.
@@rodhillweather I really think we need to stop this whole song and dance regarding La Niña/El Nino. La Nina’s or even Neutral years trending toward La Niña are not representative of historic trends anymore. This last triple dip La Niña was dismal. We should focus our attention on just how above average our winters will be year to year, and why in the last decade or so Ridiculously Resilient Ridges (RRR’s) seem to be able to sit over the PNW for weeks at a time. I still have never got a good explanation of why high pressure seems so dominant over low’s. I doubt I will ever see a record low recorded in the Willamette Valley in my lifetime.
Very rainy and blustery yesterday here in South Salem. Today, there were some beautiful sun breaks! Thank you Rod for keeping us updated and helping us prepare for Mother Nature and all she has in store for us!
Hi Rod. You reported 60 degrees in Corvallis but NOAA reports 55 degrees here Corvallis (at 6 PM!). I'm curious as to why the 5 degree difference within a ten mile span. Any ideas?
I don't understand your question. Corvallis airport reported 60 degree high yesterday. Temps were close to 60 between noon and 3:00 pm in the region. Temps at 5pm had cooled to 50 degrees at airport location. 5 degrees difference regarding?
@@rodhillweather Okay, never mind. I went back and looked at the 3 day history on NOAA for Corvallis. There must have been a glitch because the 15 minute updates stalled between 9:15 AM and 4 PM, thus no 60 degree reporting. My apologies for the confusion. It was really nice out there! 💚
Rod, this channel is great stuff! Thank you for doing this consistently. It’s greatly appreciated!
Thank you Rod for your detailed forecast. Enjoying the mild stretch, as another cold spell will surely come our way.

Merry Christmas to you. Yes, our micro climates with certain areas getting certain wind directions and not others is crazy!

What do you mean….this has been practically every December the last 5-10 years…..this is the new normal.
Certainly recently
