Well, it appears we will transition back to a wet pattern as California gets a little break from the action. There are a series of weather systems out in the Pacific that are looking right at us. It will get a bit wetter with each one that comes through. Rain will still fall in California but not quite as much as last week.
Good news for the mountains with more snow on the way. The lower slopes will start off as rain but turn snowy as the week progresses. The snowpack has dropped to below average for this time of the year so a reload would be great.
Monday’s weather system was rather weak, with generally about a tenth of an inch falling as of 5 p.m.
There were a few reports of icy conditions early Monday as overnight lows dropped to freezing or below in the outlying areas. It was short-lived, however. Vancouver’s rainfall total this month, as of 5 p.m. Monday, was .41 inch, about 1.75 inches below average. Warmer days have raised the average mean temperature to 34.5 degrees, still about 6 degrees below average.
