Hi all, I’m Mark Ingalls - a meteorologist in British Columbia. At work I forecast for #energy related things in the Eastern U.S. Here I’ll post about Pacific Northwest #weather and other general thoughts related to my recent move to Canada, my #LDS faith, and other stuff.

The #Portland Big Pipe is at capacity which means some untreated sewage is entering the Willamette River due to heavy rainfall.

A major #flood event is underway in the Pacific Northwest. A few rivers in Western Washington will break records this week due to the #AtmosphericRiver with several others in the region to reach moderate to major flood. Even the Yakima River East of the Cascades is forecast to flood.

The mountains of the Alaska Range cast their long shadows to the north under the low winter sun.

My wife and daughter were woken up to a fire alarm and smoke in our apartment building. Daughter was traumatized standing out in rain in a blanket and PJs.

Picked them up and took them to McD's for breakfast and she was much happier.

Building was cleared by the fire department and all is well now.

Rain showers today and tomorrow. Clearing possible Friday but more rain showers this weekend. Highs near 7 through Saturday, cooling moderately after.

No forecasts for the remainder of the week. I am getting my wisdom teeth pulled this afternoon.

Some light drizzle today and tomorrow with rain on Thursday. A break Friday and then rain showers return for the weekend. It seems models are struggling with the exact timing of the systems this weekend.

New article: Yakima watershed snowpack near record low for this time of year

Some meteorologists in the Northwest are trying to declare the Yakima River watershed to be drought-free but the story doesn't conform to their hopeful view.

Some excitement in local elementary schools here as some sort of illness has 1/3 of students out of my daughter's class this week and apparently lice is going around at the same time.
