December 1, 2010:  Please check FISHING for storm reports including wind and rain.

November 19, 2010:  Hail in several spots from Port Orford to Langlois. .79" of rain so far.

November 17, 2010:  So far the rain is .20" with 1.02" predicted for today. Hummm 11:40... not going make it unless it starts pouring buckets. Wind on Cape Blanco 62 mph, Battle Rock 25 mph.  UPDATE:  Rain came around 1 am -- 1.06"

October 30, 2010:  Our first storm of the season brought 72mph winds to Cape Blanco. Sorry I don't have rain numbers, both parts of my rain gauge went out. Should be ready to go for the next storm. But that doesn't look like it will happen this week.

April 2, 2010:  More wind and rain... 90 mph on the cape, 73 mph across Humbug bridge, 38 mph across Battle Rock, 61 mph across the Dock. Be careful if you drive, roads are wet and the wind can pick trucks up and toss them... as we have seen many times at Battle Rock. Seems like this is more like storms we should see in December, January and February... not APRIL!

March 30, 2010:  Wind and rain... it's suppose to be spring. Over 3" of rain raised river levels and nasty weather everywhere around the state created hazardous driving conditions, including a few overturned trucks in Eastern Oregon, and land slides including 199 AGAIN! This time one lane remained open. Today, the snow level dropped in Southern Oregon, and temps dropped as well. I was just sure it was spring, my clematis bloomed beautifully, daffodils are about done, flowering plums lost their flowers and burgundy leaves replaced them, weeds are winning.... I'm sure it's spring....somewhere ;-)

March 29, 2010:  If your house rattled all night it's because it was windy. 77 mph on the cape, 77 mph across Humbug bridge, 37 mph at Battle Rock, the last two being during the last hour. (Time: 0:8:36) Drive safe if you have to be out driving!

WEATHER ALERT: Tomorrow expect high winds and heavy rain.

December 29, 2009:  As the year winds down, there has not been much in the way of weather reports so far. Yes, it's been cold this month, with morning temps down to 28 degrees, but those temps have come with sun to help with winter doldrums. We are just starting the winter season, and March & spring look pretty far away at the moment. As usual, I'll be back when we have a good storm. Maybe today will living up from the current drizzle. Enjoy what remains of 2009 and begin to dream of a healthy and prosperous 2010!

December 16, 2009:  Rain came again and topped out at 1.10" for the 24 hour period. Wind gusts are running in the 40's on Cape Blanco. Several 40+mph gusts across the bridge at Humbug earlier this morning. Battle Rock receiving some 20 mph gusts the last couple hours. Pretty steady 30mph over the dock now. High gusts on the dock this morning 38mph about 8am. Enjoy the not so windy, but stormy day. No measurable rain here so far.

UPDATE: Looks like the worst as passed. The high gust for the Cape remains 78. Wind gust across the bridge at Humbug hit 60 mph, Battle Rock topped out with a 35 mph gust. With 3 more hours in the day, the rain gauge reads .94".

December 8, 2009:  Enjoy the cold clear weather. The temp dropped to 29 near the beach, likely lower depending where you live in the area. 26.1 at Battle Rock. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

November 23, 2009:  Ok, sorry I missed the storm... actually I didn't just couldn't report... 3pt deer & truck had a smashing party... Oh well, life goes on, nobody hurt except the deer. Winds on the cape did hit 90. The storm brought 2.40 inches of rain.

Drive safe if you need to be traveling in areas prone to high winds, such as travel south between Port Orford & Gold Beach. Gusts are hitting the Battle Rock area, highest 21 mph. 9:30 PM UPDATE: High gust on the Cape 87, Dock 52.  No rain. UPDATE: 10:03: Cape Blanco 92, Dock gusts still in the 50s. Winds are expected to peak by midnight... warnings expire 4am tomorrow.
