There is certainly lots to discuss today with the incoming weather. We chatted on Sunday about the potential for high winds and copious amounts of rainfall beginning today into early next week. That is still on schedule.
Powerful storms off the Pacific Ocean are heading our way. It will be raining (or pouring) when you read this.
The storm today will dump heavy rain over the Pacific Northwest with several inches along the coast and in the mountains. Locally heavy as well in the 1- to 3-inch category.
A high wind warning was already in effect today for the coast with winds gusting between 65 and 75 mph. Another big blow will hit the coast Saturday with possible higher winds maybe 80-100-plus mph. This storm brings with it remnants of Typhoon Songda.
