Our fine weather pattern just keeps on rolling despite a forecast for morning clouds, which for the most part were either patchy or non-existent Wednesday. That allowed the highs to once again surpass 80 degrees.
Forecast models insist a weak weather system moving by to our north will bring a solid overcast Friday and patchy drizzle or sprinkles form the Columbia River northward. If we do get anything, it will be negligible. Expect sunny and warm weather over the weekend.
I see no rain in sight, with dry weather most likely continuing the rest of the month. Have you noticed how quickly the roadside grasses are turning brown? It wouldn’t take much to spark a fire. Wildfire season is well on the way.
Vancouver is running 5 degrees above average so far this month and about eight-tenths of an inch below normal in the rainfall department.
