We didn’t quite make it past the high of 75 degrees Wednesday due to a wind shift around noon filtering in some cooler marine air. However, skies were sunny with increasing high clouds in the late afternoon. The beginning of a change.
We discussed here earlier in the week a sharp cool-down and that is underway today: Clouds, rain maybe a thunderstorm and lowering snow levels in the Cascades.
Our dry streak that we began on Saturday ended Wednesday and was the longest stretch of rainless days since after the big snowstorm back in January. Then we went five days in a row without precipitation, from Jan. 12 to Jan. 16. After we get through this cool and damp pattern, we will shoot for maybe six days in a row!
Not much has changed with the weather outlook into next week, with periods of cold showers and maybe a thunderstorm if we get some clearing. There is some hope late next week that we’ll be warm and dry for a few days. This would coincide with the upcoming parade in Hazel Dell. Stay tuned!
