Some neat lenticular clouds over the SW WA cascades this evening coming off Mt Hood. #wawx #orwx

Fairly impressive atmospheric river (for this time of year in the PNW) on the way Sunday-Monday. Rain will be mostly beneficial but will make for a very wet Sunday across the region with 1"-1.5" totals in the valleys. #orwx #wawx

very abundant mountain wave activity visible on satellite this afternoon across a majority of the PNW. Caused by a strong, moist low/mid-level jet associated with the ongoing atmospheric river interacting with the terrain. #wawx #orwx

Great sunset over the SW Washington Cascades this evening with Mt Rainier in the distance as a weak cold front swept through. #wawx

Whitman, NE tornado and incredible structure! First processed image so far. Many many more to go!!! Incredible day! #newx

Happy to say I have accepted a meteorologist position here in Washington. My first official job as a meteorologist. (photo from May 2023 in Battle Ground, WA)

Starting to see signs of a prolonged heatwave over the PNW starting after July 4th as a huge nearly 600dm Pacific ridge sets up shop over the West coast. Some potential for triple-digit heat in the Willamette Valley next weekend if a thermal trough develops. #orwx #wawx

This prolonged heat wave now looks to continue for several more days, Latest model guidance suggests the potential for consecutive 5 days around 100 degrees at PDX. (100-degree record streak is 5 consecutive days at PDX) #orwx #wawx

Oregon: A view of a giant dust devil on the Falls Fire in Oregon, now 133,000 acres. #orfire #orex #wildfire #weather This fire is right next door to the Telephone Fire, which absolutely exploded in activity yesterday evening. Even at 2am, the sky was glowing from the fire.

Some great light rays this morning shortly after sunrise this morning in the Columbia River Gorge

Some fog early this morning over the Portland area. #orwx

Williams Mine Fire burning at the base of Mt Adams seen yesterday evening from the Mt St Helens area.

Was able to capture a mountain goat standing on a ledge with Mt Adams as a backdrop.

Was working night shift tonight so couldn’t make it out anywhere good to shoot the aurora… but was able to get a few photos from the backyard here in Battle Ground, WA

In Carson, WA getting slammed by 50-60mph winds #wawx

Wicked looking shelf cloud as it approached Carson,WA #wawx

Getting hit by another big storm in Hood River now #orwx #wawx

Severe thunderstorm moving over the Columbia River Gorge near Carson, WA Saturday afternoon, really tough chase as it was in a very remote/forested part of the cascades… produced 50-60mph outflow winds as the shelf cloud moved over #wawx #orwx

Thunderstorm over Hood River, OR this past Saturday... you can see in this shot the 45-50mph winds ripping across the water down below generating waves. #orwx #wawx
