Weather Eye: Storm predictions continue to be all wet as rainfall remains slight

Another storm that fizzled with drizzle. Monday’s weather system weakened to the extent that Clark County only had some sprinkles or drizzle as it passed through Monday afternoon.

For many of us, the weather system that came through over the weekend produced light amounts of moisture, except for a deformation band that set up in the northern parts of the county and dumped upward of one inch of rain. However, the band of rain was narrow and hardly any reached south of the Columbia River.

Another weather system moves inland Wednesday and, again, hardly any moisture will make it inland and most of it will be far to our north. High pressure will then build inland, with fair and mild weather the reminder of the week, maybe into Saturday.

It is not looking good for a big blast of the rainy season any time soon. October may end up way below average unless nature provides a trick-or-treat stunt by month’s end. The Vancouver rainfall total through 5 p.m. Monday was only .54 inch, about 1.25 inches below average.
