Tim Chuey Weather

The first day of Autumn was not quite as warm as I predicted, but I wasn’t looking for record-breaking heat like the other forecasters. I must admit we did get more smoke in the Souther Willamette Valley from the Tumble Bug Complex fire near Oakridge than we could have expected. That layer of smoke filtered out enough of the sun’s radiation that the high in Eugene only made it to 89 instead of the 94 I predicted. Others were pushing for 96 and a new record high. Roseburg was the warmest in the state at 101 and that is a new record for the date. Today should be a lot like Tuesday in the Southern Valley as more smoke will hang around. The only way the temperature will go above the high 80s is if the winds shift to onshore. That could send the smoke to the East away from us. It will cool down a bit Thursday only the upper 70s then stay in the low to mid 80s through the weekend.

Still plenty of time to win my weekly quiz. Lightning can occur without a thunderstorm. There are a couple of other ways lightning can be generated, what are they? Please give your answer as a comment. The first person to answer the question correctly wins a week of free personalized weather forecasts to suit your needs. Good luck.
