The “rain storm” Thursday was enlightening and satisfying to everyone, I believe, unless you had outdoor projects in the way. Skies cleared later in the day so not all that bad right? Rainfall totals varied from a tenth of an inch to over one-half inch in our foothills. More than enough to settle the dust — at least for a day or two.
Vancouver picked up 0.21 inch, which was nearly three times what we measured all month in July. And it is about a third of what we would normally expect in August. So, a few notable facts in our otherwise serene weather pattern.
Another weak weather system slid by to our north Saturday, bringing a few light showers to our far north and a little drizzle along the coast but nothing here in Clark County. Now that that’s out of the way, we return to summer today through Tuesday with highs back in the 80s.
I enjoyed Saturday’s cooler temperatures in the afternoon in the 70s after the clouds began breaking up. Although running errands around town, I worked up a little sweat due to the higher humidity. At my age, it doesn’t take much! At least the evening northwest breezes were pleasant.
