I’m gonna guess it won’t surprise you to know that November is historically our wettest month of the year. This week will sure help confirm that fact!
The next round of precip makes its way towards us tomorrow (Tuesday) afternoon and evening. Light rain overnight, turning showery on Wednesday…near a half inch of rain by the time it moves through. This system will also bring some gusty winds overnight and through the day Wednesday - looks similar in strength to this past Saturday’s storm, with peak gusts in the upper-30 mph range…but much longer in duration. This time, they’ll start out from the east/southeast through the gaps in the Cascades, before shifting around from the south by Wednesday afternoon.
Another wet system Thursday and Friday, bringing an additional inch of rain along with it. Winds will “only” be breezy with that one though! An early look at the coming weekend seems to indicate a calmer one than the past couple weekends.
Back to the “wettest month of the year” tidbit - by the end of this week, we’ll most likely have had more rain than June, July, and August combined! Problem is, we really do need all the rain we can get…we’re several inches below average for the year, which is contributing to still being considered under drought conditions.
