Funding gaps remain the biggest obstacle to helping vulnerable Oregonians survive extreme temperatures.

Heat pumps are becoming an increasingly popular technology for Oregonians seeking an efficient method of air conditioning, though data shows the state has experienced significant gaps in AC access.

Forecasters are urging residents to prepare for extreme heat and increased wildfire risk as temperatures climb into the triple digits.

It’s been a low-snow year for slopes across Oregon, including Mt. Ashland.

A record-shattering heat wave is rapidly melting California’s snowpack. The early melt means less water when the state needs it most.

Weather whiplash is in the forecast for much of Oregon, with warm temperatures expected to arrive just days after heavy rain brought flood alerts across a broad stretch of the state.

If conditions don’t change, it could spell a challenging year ahead for cities, aquatic wildlife, outdoor recreation, farming, hydropower facilities, and, possibly, a longer-lasting wildfire season.

Much of Oregon is facing a mix of winter weather impacts, with mountain snow building in the south, strong winds easing in parts of Eastern Oregon, and minor coastal flooding expected during high tides.

Northern California can expect a stormy Christmas as an atmospheric river moves through the region.

JPR meteorologist Milt Radford offers insight into the holiday travel weather and a warning about King tides.

The region is experiencing unusually warm and dry conditions, scientists find, and snowpack is at record lows for this time of year
