  • Move over Seattle, Chicago aims to take "Rain City" title

    Updated: 2011-07-24 12:22:12
    Imagine the wettest of the wet days you've ever seen in Portland -- then multiple it by, oh, a gazillion.  That might get you close to being able to fathom what happened in Chicago early Saturday morning. A massive line of thunderstorms rolled through the Windy City, dumping more rain in a few hours than Portland will usually see in all of November. How much rain? In the three hour period between 12:51 a.m. and 3:51 a.m., the airport received 6.78 inches of rain -- read that again: in three hours!!!

  • What a national heat wave looks like on paper

    Updated: 2011-07-19 17:14:47
    We've all been hearing about how summer has been relentless across much of the nation that doesn't consider itself to be in the Pacific Northwest. But just to give an idea of how expansive the heat wave is, both by endurance and geography, I thought I'd put together a "tour of the U.S." using various TV stations' extended forecast graphics to tell the story:

  • There's miserable weather, then there's Tuesday in Tennessee

    Updated: 2011-07-13 17:21:17
    As many of you already know, much of the nation remains gripped in a massive heat wave where triple digits have been the norm for well over a week -- some spots approaching two weeks. But unlike Arizona, when even when it's over 110 for ages it's still a "dry heat" (monsoon season notwithstanding) in the Midwest and Southeast, it is most assuredly *not* a dry heat. One spot that appears to be among the top sufferers is Millington, Tennessee, where the temperature Tuesday afternoon was a sweltering 102 degrees. But that's not all -- the dew point was a mind-boggling 81 degrees. Put the two together and it meant that to anyone standing outside, it *felt* like it was 127.
