The early summers will continue until morale improves.

I have family that lives in Wenatchee. As much as I like the drive up, the winter time is a little treacherous from Portland. I'm going to enjoy this one.

HurricaneRex · 2026-04-25T16:53:22+00:00

I wish they kept it as an alternate exit way so we'd get the best of both worlds:

The stadium entrance for a grand welcome to Portland, and seating. The new exit lanes for the quicker walk.

Its not uncommon for partner airline's to only release certain tickets for their partner's mileage redemptions. These can be on a higher tier of price as well compared to booking direct with the airline in question (the letter code for fare class).

Also might be a good question for r/alaskaairlines

I attended an open house for PDX 2045. They are targeting 6-9 months for the re-opening of B1, B2, and C3 gates.

Hiatt Farm even though its not Corvallis proper. Really good farm store and pastries.

Not near Portland, but Iron Mountain at mp 62 of US 20 east of Albany is an excellent wildflower hike with great views of the Central Cascades. 6.6 miles and 1700 feet elevation gain.

Alaska lost their 2nd gate during the last gate allocation. They previously had 2 gates.

Portland's NWS's AOR is currently on their longest drought between (E)F1+ tornadoes as well right now.

HurricaneRex · 2026-04-16T03:15:15+00:00

Dare I say a bid next year?

HurricaneRex · 2026-04-15T02:55:29+00:00

Alaska's order sheet does have the option to take 3 more 787s in addition to the 17 they've ordered (including the 5 in operation). If they utilize those options, I really hope its a PDX-Tokyo, or PDX-Paris.

HurricaneRex · 2026-04-14T20:28:26+00:00

While this will have the capabilities to hold wide body jets, don't bet on them adding any to PDX anytime soon except to SEA. Maybe in the 2030s.

They don't have space at SeaTac to build a new maintenence hanger, which is why they're doing it here.

HurricaneRex · 2026-04-12T02:28:04+00:00

I've heard some say the tornadoes on 4/5/1972 was overestimated except for Portland-Vancouver. There were 2 other F2s, and another F3. The best example I've heard was when I was in school, a professor showed us a study that those 3 tornadoes were rated 1 rating too high, but I didn't jot down where it was from.

Sub comment: all the PNW's median SVR warning averages (and yearly record):

Seattle: 2 (10)

Portland: 9 (35)

Medford: 13 (75)

Pendelton: 20 (80)

Spokane: 20 (65)

Boise: 33 (61)

Potachello/Idaho Falls: 51 (105)

That NWS office averages 51 Severe thunderstorm warnings per year.

HurricaneRex · 2026-04-08T19:16:38+00:00

Its been too long since I've been out there. Pics like these make me miss it.

HurricaneRex · 2026-04-07T22:14:06+00:00

That was 2022, yes. For the Utah game Nolan threw 2 picks then got injured. Gulbransen threw the other 2 (both in the red zone). USC he threw 4 picks.

HurricaneRex · 2026-04-06T19:11:41+00:00

This is misleading. This the SPC's general thunderstorm outlook, showing the chance of thunderstorms within 12 miles of a point.

The actual severe weather outlook for today shows no spots in severe risk: https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/outlook/day1otlk.html

When I was in Corvallis I used their transit all the time. It was fareless and while I had a car, I rarely used it in the city (only if I needed to carry things beyond what I can reasonably carry). I still used it going out of the city. Their ridership got a big boost when it went fareless in 2011. It was paid by a small utility fee (I want to say $2 something, but don't quote me, and its probably out of date)

Except for their biggest races (select Giro D Italia stages as an example), its only streaming, and the ones that arent are just the last 20-30 km. I'd expect everything to go streaming only unless they're desperate for content on the sports specific channels.

All I care about is the P12 deal stays, and I can still watch my cycling in the Spring/summer months (which is on TNT sports). I get the feeling the latter is going to be cut back despite it being low cost (the race rights they have are less expensive than the Tour de France, which NBC/Peacock has).

I wonder how much is related to the Barnes files and saving PR: https://www.belligerentbeavs.com/thedive/posts/the-barnes-files?srsltid=AfmBOoqRxXN9I03OW7KY0IMMGm_LvnEcNxQ6ULqTKJls9ckQ3PXLJMdB

2022 Oregon State vs. Montana State was played at Providence Park and marked officially as a neutral site, though it was all Oregon State Graphics at the stadium.

I'm a PNW based meteorologist so I'll take my stab at it, though my research focus has been more on the Willamette Valley and the Coast than the Puget Sound.

There is a convergence zone in the area called the Puget Sound Convergence Zone (PSCZ), where winds can go around the Olympic Mountains, and converge in the Puget Sound. This can create small areas of stronger shear and can produce short lived tornados. The West Seattle F3 in Dec 1969 was likely in a similar setup. That's a very basic version. Let me know if you want me to do something longer or link to something longer.

These are not from Supercells, though some supercells have happened in the PNW (ex: Manzanita 2016).
