Another Storm Brewing
Saturday, November 18, 2006
As you can see by the afternoon satellite picture another Pacific weather system is about to move onshore. More rain and blustery winds will accompany the storm on Sunday. Beyond that a couple more systems will bring rain and showers with slightly cooler temperatures and mountain snows through Thanksgiving. If you plan to travel over the Cascades for the holiday, be prepared for winter conditions.
Looking ahead, a change to our stormy weather pattern will occur with unsettled conditions and lower freezing levels with the possibility the main jet stream flow will head to our south. Details are still fuzzy so check back.
Enough high clouds were present to keep the really dense fog from persisting in Clark County early Saturday resulting in a rather cool but pleasant afternoon.
Afterthought: Forecasters now blame the inaccurate hurricane prediction for this season on what else? El Nino of course. It sure is handy to have such a phenomenon that everyone can blame something on when things fall short . . . or overflow.
