Another day - another storm
Thursday, November 09, 2006Friday looks to be wet and windy with perhaps another inch or so to add to the rain bucket. A brief break on Saturday with cool showers and good snows in the mountains. Sunday gets interesting. I am predicting a good chance of a destructive windstorm in Clark County. Now being that it is still a couple of days away, the exact track of the storm is yet to be. But if it tracks just to our north we would get 70-75 mph winds. Very serious. If it tracks a bit to the south, just blustery. If it tracks towards Vancouver Island, winds in the lesser category but still potent. The main message here is to prepare for a severe weather event should it occur. Have alternate lightning sources available and water and food for several days. My generator is gassed up and ready to go. Stay tuned to your favorite weather source for updates.
Vancouver's rainfall total at 4 pm Thursday was 7.92 inches and we could get another three inches of rain from Friday through next Monday. The outlook for the next seven days calls for continued stormy weather with only brief breaks between weather systems.
