If I believe my iPhone weather app, Newport has a worse AQI than Portland this morning. It says 153 here, not sure where it’s measured, though a Purple Air map shows one at 134. I should get a sensor, weather is very local here (like by the block), and it’s super hazy, but I don’t smell smoke. The sunrise picture sure shows it though. #orwx #newportoregon #oregoncoast

It's happening. Our fresh pure ocean air is being polluted by those inland heathens. Simple air filter has been deployed. At least our temps will be cool with highs in the high 60s here in #CoosBay #Wildfires #ORWX #WAWX

Zooming in on Oregon, the enormous scope of ongoing wildfire outbreak is clear. Numerous large smoke plumes from dozens of active fires--which have now burned over 1 million acres in Oregon alone--are casting a broadening pall across the interior Northwest & N. Rockies. #ORwx

Yesterday's "lightning bust" in eastern Oregon & Washington has already resulted in >100,000 acres burned & dozens of new wildfire ignitions. Many are in grass & brush and may be managed soon, but at least 10 are in heavier (forest) fuels and are taking off this PM. #ORwx #WAwx

My SIL is at a church youth camp near Mount Hood and sent me a video of her hiking through a thunderstorm in the woods yesterday. I inquired further and she told me the leaders didn't know it was going to storm. I reached out to our bishop and we're going to put together a workshop so that the adult leaders can be empowered to know what to look for to avoid this in the future rather than relying on a simple phone weather app. I don't fault people for not knowing, but now that I know it's a problem I feel like it's my responsibility as a meteorologist to help improve the situation. For now they're proactively texting me asking for updates through the end of the campout. Glad to see they're doing what they can. #weather #ORwx #LDS

A major new wildfire outbreak is now underway across interior Pacific Northwest, with dozens (or more) new wildfires already popping up in eastern Oregon & Washington following tens of thousands of lightning strikes in region experiencing moderate to extreme drought. #ORwx #WAwx

A major thunderstorm outbreak is unfolding across the interior Pacific NW. While not "dry thunderstorms" (w/briefly heavy showers), numerous wildfire ignitions are still likely due to strikes outside of rain cores, severe pre-existing drought, & heatwave to follow. #ORwx #WAwx

New instance, new #introduction. Hello everyone! I’m a meteorologist working at a company that launches #weather balloons. On Mastodon, I toot about #weather, mostly #BCstorm, #WAwx, and #ORwx. I recently moved from White Rock, B.C. to Hermiston, Oregon and am excited to be back in Oregon and closer to family. Some #geology tidbits will be thrown in along with my thoughts on rural life, family life, and my #LDS faith. I am an avid geocacher with 3119 finds. I enjoy sharing my exploration and also stats on my #geocache finds. I will work on configuring profile verification soon.

We have recorded 3.0 mm of rain here in Hermiston so far today. First rainfall since installing my new weather station and an impressive value for stratiform rain in the Columbia Basin. #ORwx #weather

Here's a shout out to all the people on the Eastern Seaboard that yes, #Eugene #Oregon in the #PNW can get walloped with snow at times. This shot from #1969 came up on my FB feed. #ORWX
