Where were the warmest places in the Evergreen state on Monday? Vancouver? Close. Try the ocean beaches from Ilwaco to Forks where it was in the mid-70s while Vancouver was cooler at 73 at 5 p.m.
The reason why? Those offshore east to northeast winds blowing clear down to the ocean waters. As the wind descends to sea level, the air condenses and warms. Can you beat this mid-October weather?
Have you had a frost yet at your home? Many have. Many more will this week as the east wind dies down and we continue to have a dry air mass. Vancouver dipped to 35 early Monday morning. Some outlying areas were in the upper 20s and near the freezing point.
Speaking of chilly temperatures, while we were basking in 70-degree sunshine yesterday, the great state of Texas was shivering in the 30s and 40s with snow and rain almost everywhere.
