It’s a beautiful October day across our war-ravaged city. #Portland

(May 12th | 4:30 P.M.) We’ve seen some impressive downpours and isolated thunderstorms around the Portland metro area today! ⛈️ #ORwx

Slight risk of severe thunderstorms tomorrow (Wednesday) across western OR & western WA. If a storm turns severe, it will be capable of 60+ mph gusts, hail 1+ inch in diameter, frequent lightning & downpours. A brief tornado can’t be ruled out (low chance). #PDX #ORwx #WAwx

Stacked lenticular clouds above Mt. Hood this evening. Absolutely gorgeous!

Great sunrise this morning! If you look closely, you can see a sun pillar along the horizon. Sun pillars are a result of ice crystals slowly falling through the upper atmosphere, reflecting the sun’s rays off of them. Pretty cool! #Portland #PDX

Happy first day of Meteorological Spring!

Who's ready for a taste of Spring? An anomalously strong high pressure system is expected to build overhead between mid to late week. Temperatures are forecast to rise into the low to mid 60s across our western valleys for the first time this year (Willamette Valley + interior sw Washington)! #PDX

Super vibrant rainbow this evening! 🌈 #PDX

Are you kidding me!? 😲 🌈
Monday evening in Portland, OR

You may be asking “What’s up with this wild weather!?” Here’s your answer: a textbook mid-latitude cyclone is spinning right offshore of the Pacific Northwest. She’s a beaut! High wind warnings & wind advisories posted west of the Cascades. Downpours & isolated storms also expected. #PDX #ORwx #WAwx

Another sick view of a passing shower + rainbow this afternoon. #PDX 🌦️🌈

Showers & storms moving east with sunbreaks in their wake. Perfect conditions for rainbows. Feelin’ like spring in the PNW 🌧️🌦️🌈 #PDX

Just spotted some mammatus clouds over Portland! 👀

We’ve had some healthy showers today. More showers + wind on the way. Great day to watch weather! #PDX

This feels like the Twitter of old
