Fine late-winter weather continued Wednesday, with only scattered clouds from a dissipating weather system moving across Clark County skies. High pressure is with us another day, with afternoon temperatures reaching the mid-60s in many locations today.
Those east winds will be back near the Columbia River Gorge and in the eastern areas of the county. It appears winter and the month of February wants to end on a wet note, with rain late on Friday and again on Sunday. The weekend, right? Appears that has been the pattern lately. I think Saturday will be the best day, with the greatest chance of showers early.
The threat of showers is also on tap for leap day on Monday. Our meteorological spring begins Tuesday, and March will come in like a lamb, at least at this point. How did March arrive last year?
Looking back in the record books, the first day of March 2015 had mostly sunny skies and a high of 57 degrees and a low of 42 degrees, with no rain. Monday may be very similar, but as always, that’s subject to change. I guess that falls into the lamb category. We’ll have to wait and see if the lion rounds out the end of the month .
