Well, not a whole lot of change in the weather pattern other than a chance of showers today and late Sunday into early Monday. Amounts would be light and mostly to our north and west. I do see perhaps an offshore flow of east wind, which would usher in some drier air that could give us an overnight low early Saturday near freezing in some areas of the county. Imagine that.
It has sure been nice to have some sunshine and mild temperatures the past few days. We reached just shy of 60 degrees Wednesday with 59 degrees for Vancouver. I was driving along I-205 on Tuesday and got a good look at Mount Hood between the clouds. I must say it looks more like late May than mid-winter. Lots of bare rocky surfaces showing.
The weekend’s weather system — which may move north or south of us, not quite sure yet — could add a few inches of snow. But we still are waiting for some juicy potent storms that will dump feet in the Cascades. There is still time, so still not sitting on the edge of my seat, but getting a little uneasy.
California is now back into a moderate drought despite all the heavy rain they had last month. Problem is, they had so much rain at once that it ran off quickly. The drought indicator is also showing parts of Oregon getting into that category and creeping northward.
