Boy, where do I start? Maybe wiping the mud off my face from the “warm, dry weekend” forecasters promised? Oh well, thick-skinned, I am. Not all that looks promising comes to fruition. That includes computer weather forecast models. Hopefully some of you retrieved pumpkins Saturday.
When we made the forecast last week of a nice weekend, we knew the storm track would be close but thought it would remain farther north.
High winds pelted the Washington coastline from north to south Thursday night — nearly 60 mph at Forks to 50 mph at Ocean Park on the Long Beach Peninsula. There was some slight damage as limbs and fences felt the brunt of the winds. Early fall pruning.
It was gusty locally as well with winds 25 to 35 mph. Rainfall was on the paltry side with less than a tenth of an inch in Vancouver. On Saturday, it was dry all day and near 70 degree; we just missed the sunny part.
