Sometimes it isn’t all bad to be on the tail end of things. Take, for instance, Monday in Clark County. A rather vigorous weather system was moving through Western Washington with expected rainfall totals of up to one-half inch west of the Cascades and 1-3 inches of rain along the coast and Cascades.
Quillayute as of 3 p.m. Monday had reported nearly three inches of rain with moderate rain still falling. Remarkable for August. The exception was right here in our neck of the woods. We did see clouds increase and as I write this column Monday afternoon, there was still a risk of sprinkles or light showers developing. The rain at 3 p.m. had not ventured south of Chehalis.
After this system moves out on Tuesday we rebound quickly on Wednesday and the remainder of the week. We stand another good chance of very warm weather by Sunday. Summer isn’t over yet, folks. And neither are the surprises.
We managed 90 degrees or better both days over the weekend with a 95 Saturday and 90 degrees Sunday. At least we logged in a couple of those in this summer. Seattle managed to reach 85 degrees Saturday so they have accomplished that hard-to- reach milestone.
