I think we got spoiled by those weeks of sunny, warm and dry weather. I know I did. The rains returned Tuesday, took a brief break early Wednesday, then came back again by late afternoon. Did you feel the humidity yesterday afternoon?
It was indeed humid, with values at 70-80 percent relative humidity. I mentioned that the brunt of the cool and damp weather was headed toward California. Vancouver topped out at 65 degrees Wednesday and Los Angeles had the same as of 4 p.m. We reached only 60 degrees on Tuesday.
There is an unusually cool and wet jet stream pushing a whole slog of moisture to our south. High mountains in California could get several feet of snow; locally, we’ll see heavy valley rains. We kind of get the leftovers. So, once again, I get out my broad brush and paint the forecast with showers or a chance of showers each and every day in the next seven days.
Timing, that always is the key. Looking at weather charts late yesterday, it appeared we could have a totally dry period late Friday into a good share of the day Saturday. So, once again, the weather gods may bless the Hazel Dell parade. It rarely rains, you know, during that event.
