Hazy but still fairly clear down to Redmond at edge of totality, with some high cirrus, but smoke from Milli fire was being blown SE by NW winds and completely covered Bend, which is out of totality. Woke up to clear skies this morning in Sunriver, but I see there now is a 6mph SW wind in Bend, which may blow smoke towards Madras and Redmond. Cliff, it would help if you could weigh in again with satellite photos today.Michael Riordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03135613300005502938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-57267192408013374342017-08-19T23:49:30.515-07:002017-08-19T23:49:30.515-07:00No eclipse glasses here, so as a fun project I'...No eclipse glasses here, so as a fun project I'm building a camera obscura tomorrow (Sun) with the kids.singliarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00920230430150498611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-90422808825968354992017-08-19T22:56:12.200-07:002017-08-19T22:56:12.200-07:00We have tickets for s trip up to the top of Msry&#...We have tickets for s trip up to the top of Msry's Peak Monday morning what do the models say? <br />Should we stay down in Corvallis instead of heading up the hill?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04891878774095237743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-1670385586218680482017-08-19T09:46:56.025-07:002017-08-19T09:46:56.025-07:00Thank you for this.

There is a<br />chance that these clouds will expand with north winds steering them<br />south into parts of the Central Willamette Valley. These<br />possibilities are not fully in the forecast yet, but it is a<br />possibility, and has decreased the forecast confidence for clear<br />skies in the Willamette Valley during the time of the eclipse.<br /><br />The main reason this possibility is not in the current forecast, is<br />that the weather pattern expected for Sunday night and Monday is<br />almost identical to what we had last night (Thursday night) and this<br />morning (Friday).<br />...<br />The best option for clear skies Monday morning continues to be east<br />of the Cascades pending areas near fires where smoke may be a<br />nuisance.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03367877910715325354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-81204025600669655982017-08-19T06:24:30.489-07:002017-08-19T06:24:30.489-07:00

You understand the nuances of Oregon's terrain so well.<br /><br />Keeping fingers crossed that no little shortwaves sneak in and we will have the best view in the country for this as long as that high cirrus deck is over Portland and not Salem. This really could be an amazing confluence of events. Possible solar flare view during the eclipse too.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08517260428530452171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-4842660286987199252017-08-18T23:32:28.902-07:002017-08-18T23:32:28.902-07:00Hi Cliff,

We're in Pocatello heading toward Yellowstone, and I have seen no less than 100 other Washington-licensed vehicles here in Idaho doing the same. We'll be keeping our fingers crossed for clear skies in Jackson Hole.herrbrahmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08308204686231352936noreply@blogger.com
