The weekend turned out pleasant and Monday’s weather wasn’t bad either. That upper-level low is still offshore and will head our way triggering scattered thundershowers, showers and perhaps some steady light rain. Unstable conditions and cooler conditions will persist through Thursday; nothing else new to add to the mix.
Our high temperature today will be below the average 72 degrees, but nothing extreme: My coolest recorded high for June 18 was 60 degrees in 1979, and my highest was 102 degrees in 1982.
From my June 19, 2011, column: “Seems like we just can’t squeeze out more than a day or two at a time with a little bit of sun.” We have done much better than that this June.
From the same day, via Dan Hein of Camas: “It’s the second half of June, 11:15 a.m., 54 degrees, raining and foggy! Time to build a fire in the insert to ward off the cold.” And so it goes from year to year. I don’t think we will need a fire in the wood stove this week, but it will be cooler.
