Our long dry spell ended Sunday evening with enough moisture to squeeze out a measly 0.01 of an inch of rainfall. Close but no cigar as records go. A few more scattered showers drifted over the county, and Vancouver recorded 0.04 of an inch Monday.
It did little other than freshen the air a bit and make nasty water spots on your car. I doubt it even settled the dust.
One more weak system is slated for Wednesday, but it appears that will be a dry front. The mountains and coast are the best places to feel a spattering of rain drops. Temperatures will bounce around the 80-degree mark plus or minus, depending on the clouds. No excessive heat’s coming.
Those who had air conditioning during our recent string of hot muggy days I’m sure are grateful. I was, too, until I opened my electric bill over the weekend. Ouch! What a spike — but, for me, well worth it.
