How do light snow showers down to 6,500 feet in the Washington Cascades sound? Refreshing? That is a possibility as a cold trough of low pressure settles in over the region the next several days. I don’t think we will get much moisture out of it, other than a chance of showers or drizzle, much like last weekend.
However, the farther north you go in our state the better chance of some rain. Of course, the Puget Sound Convergence Zone is most likely to set up with this weather pattern and give some rain to those areas.
Meanwhile, we logged yet another 90-degree day in our 2010 record book, making it number 12 this year. Who would have thought a couple of months ago that we would achieve this? You may hear TV weather forecasters say that the chance of 90-degree weather is over for the year with cool weather coming in, which should last all next week. On paper, the odds of 90 degrees after Labor Day is rather low. However, this has certainly not been your ‘usual summer.’ One outbreak of east wind in September could put us over the top.
The experts are predicting that September through November will be cooler and wetter than average. So we’ll see what transpires with regards to the remaining chances of any hot weather. I think we will still have a few more warm days in September.
