I'm sitting here playing NCAA Basketball 10.... Dynasty Mode with Wazzu.

I am unfortunately learning of the passing of former lead weather anchor at KOMO, Steve Pool.
In 2017, I had the privilege of interning under the tutelage of Steve. He taught me so much about being a broadcast met.
He touched the lives of so many. We have lost a great one.

I'm visiting friends in Southern Oregon this weekend and I needed to share this stark view of what prolonged drought looks like. This is a look at Emigrant Lake just outside of Ashland. This whole area used to be a beautiful lake. It has been reduced to essentially a big puddle.

As a kid growing up in Washington and being a Coug fan my whole life, I always considered the Pac 10 / Pac 12 "My confrence." As a general sports fan, I watched all of these teams all the time. I am truly going to miss this confrence. College sports just won't have the same zest.

This is true 😂. I don't play games much anymore, but I had a free weekend with some downtime so I dusted off the ole 360 . Apparently not playing for years but keeping the difficulty on All-American is a bit tough 😅😅. And also apparently going 8-24 can get you relegated 🤣

If you stepped outside and saw smoke or haze this weekend, the likely cause of the cloaked skies was smoke being produced by several northwest wildfires.
Please practice exceptional fire safety today as gusty winds and dry weather will promote rapid growth of new fire starts!

20 years ago today an historic windstorm struck the state of Oregon. A rather innocent looking low that was set to bring showers and breezy winds rapidly intensified off the coast and brought widespread strong wind and rain. This storm is now called "The South Valley Surprise."

Strong wind and heavy mountain snow will be the main weather headlines for today. Several weather alerts have been posted.

The weather will turn active going into next week. The most widely felt impact will be strong winds potentially gusting to 50 MPH on Monday. Heavy mountain snow will also be a huge factor for travelers. All Cascade passes may receive 12-18"+ of snow from late Sun. through Tue.
