It was a gorgeous sunset tonight on Mt. Shasta with a nice stack of lenticular clouds. Winds were very strong on the mountain today helping to create these cool clouds.

A waterspout was spotted earlier today near Gold Beach. This photo was taken just north of town and was reported to be moving northeast. Bo said the waterspout touched down just about a mile offshore and churned up a lot of water.

Mount Shasta was putting on a show today with lenticular clouds. The clouds are a sign of the incoming winter storm on the way. Here's a shot of the mountain this evening at sunset. So pretty! 🏔️

The satellite loop of the pryocumulonimbus from the
#BootlegFire
is just unreal this evening. It's become a whole cluster with more cloud-to-ground lightning being detected by radar too. This extreme fire behavior has also helped to merge the
#BootlegFire
and

@KDRV
! The time sure has flown by since I moved out west, but I love it out here. 🌲🏔🌲 Thank you to all the viewers in Southern Oregon & Northern California for watching and letting me into your homes each night with your weather forecast. ❤️
Here’s video of another waterspout that happened today. It happened around 7:30 p.m. near Brookings.

Ilyse Sheppard who captured this video said the waterspout lasted over 10 minutes. She said this was a once in a lifetime experience. I would definitely agree!
Check out this beautiful view of Mt. Shasta sporting a lenticular cloud over the summit. The mountain will see several inches of snow tonight. ❄️🏔️❄️

Wishing my friends at
@KTVL
the best on their last day on-air today and tonight. It’s a really sad situation for Southern Oregon and Northern California, but there’s a bunch of stations that are going to be getting some great journalists and meteorologists. 💛
It was quite the lightning show last night up in Bandon as storms rolled through the region. Some amazing lightning captured here! ⚡️⚡️⚡️
#ORwx
Unfortunately, we’re also tracking a bunch of new fires in the region from storms the last few days.

This was the view on Friday from the lookout in Hellgate Canyon as the
#RumCreekFire
was exploding in growth to the northwest in Josephine County.

Quite the show over Southern Oregon tonight. We're hearing this may be space debris and not a meteor. I'm working to get more details for you all tonight @ 11.

This was looking south last night from Mt. Ashland towards the burning

Crater Lake measured a snow depth of 128” this morning. That’s a new max for the season and well-above the 100” average for today’s date. Much more snow on the way through the end of the week! ❄️
I don't think
@SchittsCreek
could have had a better first episode of the final season. I have no doubt that this will be the best season yet. I love this show so much! ❤️ Thank you
@danjlevy
! It’s a work of art.

Obsessed with this photo taken today at 1,000’ outside of Brookings. That’s the ocean in the distance. I can only imagine getting to see this beautiful view in person!

Well, it's happening. I'm doing weather from home now. So come on in, sit back, relax and hear about the rain and snow that's moving in this weekend. But please be sure take of your shoes and use a coaster. See you starting at 4 pm!

The
#HeadFire
is exhibiting extreme fire behavior based on reports from fire crews and from our radar imagery. The fire has produced its own thunderstorm! The lightning can spark more fires. Acreage up to 3,000 acres and growing! Below is the view from Fort Jones.
It was a winter wonderland this morning outside of Lakeview. Just a reminder it’s June 20th! 😳 A persistent band of snow overnight dropped several inches in some spots. This home measured 5” of snow! ❄️❄️❄️

back in Eau Claire, WI. For the first 7 of those years in this biz, my hair was awful. But seriously, the best part has been ALL of the amazing people I’ve met & call friends all these years later. ❤️📹⛈
Check out this incredible sunset time-lapse video tonight of the intense
#BootlegFire
burning in the Basin. This shows today's extreme fire behavior and the pyrocumulonimbus clouds that formed. I'm scared to see the acreage report in the morning.
Some crazy lightning captured this evening at about 8:30 p.m. in North Medford. This storm took off so quickly right in the middle of the valley.

Fire crews are going to be tested here as a strong thunderstorm has developed SE of the

and is moving NW towards the fire. It's capable of wind gusts of 40 mph with pea size hail. Tune into NewsWatch 12 @ 5 p.m. for the latest on storms and fires in our area.

Wow! Right now the only way for travelers to get over the Cascades in Oregon is to basically either take Highway 58 or Highway 140. Every other Cascade highway is closed due to this winter storm.

Here’s what the Mt. Shasta Ski Park looked like today behind this latest winter storm! What a view! ❄️🏔️❄️

The ski park is expected to open up again tomorrow after a power outage kept it closed today.
