Monday was an active weather day with some severe weather reported here and there. A waterspout was observed near Netarts, Ore. A rare tornado warning was issued for the Long Beach Peninsula and other areas of Pacific County as a severe thunderstorm moved in off the Pacific.
All of this and numerous downpours around Clark County were due to cold air aloft after Sunday’s weather system that moved over us. Vancouver never really got any heavy rain Sunday but as the storm moved eastward areas in the fire-ravaged Gorge received good downpours.
Most of the rain locally fell Monday and the two-day total as of 5 p.m. was nearly six-tenths of an inch. We have a break today but can’t rule out a shower or two before another storm moves in overnight and into Wednesday.
The Cascades got their first dusting of snow and another 6 to 8 inches is forecast above 6,000 feet tonight.
