Weather

Why does humidity make people sweat? Why does thunder come after lightning? What is a haboob? It's all here.

Attention holiday travelers I-90 has reopened according to the Washington State Department of Transportation but authorities say to proceed with caution

You may have noticed the air quality getting worse since Thursday, and you would be right. The National Weather Service has issued an "Air Stagnation Advisory"

You may not be ready for this, but the cold weather is ALREADY on the way! Sure, we're used to things getting chilly, but this soon? Tonight we're going to have our first freeze of the season! That's right, we're getting below freezing in the Tri-Cities tonight, and we've even been issued a severe weather warning...

Summer is fun. The heat, the vacations, the parties, and wearing flip flops are great! But there's something special about fall. Autumn is the time of changing leaves, crisp nights, football, and the fashion! Finally we can start layering up with scarves, boots, gloves and more...

We broke all kinds of records for heat and air quality this summer, and it was NOT a fun time. But finally the weather is chilling out and getting in to more comfortable temperatures. Autumn is usually a a perfect time to live in the Tri-Cities, but winters can be brutal...

We had one good day. Saturday it seemed like maybe the days of horrible air quality were finally breaking up. Well, unfortunately that one day was the only break we get and it's the think smokey haze is back with a vengeance. The National Weather Service issued another alert for really MOST of the Northwest, including Benton and Franklin counties (among other local counties)...

We were told that we would have relief today (Wednesday) from the horrible smokey air in Tri-Cities, but now they are saying not only is it not over but it will get worse.

It has been hard to escape the tan and smokey air that has covered most of the Northwest since last weekend. Monday was the worst day and today doesn't look any better.

The heat is here Tri-Cities! Today we are expecting a high near 105 with temps staying around 100 for at least the next week!
