How did you like our little rain storm Friday? Of course, it was pouring during the afternoon and evening commute. At 5 p.m. it was hydroplaning conditions on the roads. Vancouver had 1.03 inches Friday which was the heaviest one-day rainfall amount since October 27 when we had 1.33 inches.
We still are 1.50 inches below average for the month. Saturday was fairly decent with only a few sprinkles or widely scattered showers around western Washington and just cloudy skies.
Last week we discussed a drying trend this week and that is still on the horizon but a weak weather system moving up from the south could bring some rain Tuesday into early Wednesday. After that, the rest of the week looks mild and dry.
We may get enough clearing tonight to view the total lunar eclipse. It will be the Super Blood Wolf Moon and the eclipse begins around 7:33 p.m. and ends before 11 p.m. The total eclipse is around 8:41 p.m.
