Not a bad morning overall. We did see some pretty heavy showers around Scappoose and Vancouver, even at the airport. Now conditions are drying out.

By the way, it's "ah ha" not "the ah-ha's". The birthday fact of the day was...in 1985 "Ah-Ha"'s song "take on me" hit number one on the pop charts. I called them "the ah-ha's" Oh well! But yup, got that one wrong.
Anyway, most of the showers will be in the mountains for the rest of the day. Look for mostly cloudy skies with some sunbreaks. Have a great day!

Good morning from the First Alert Storm Center,

We squeaked out a pretty nice day yesterday with mostly dry conditions and even a little sun. Nice day overall. Today won't be quite as nice, but not a horrible day by any means.

Today there is an area of low pressure well to our south off the Oregon coast. Most of the showers are staying well to our south, mainly into California. We are only seeing a few light showers spread to our area today. Overall that is the trend for the day, just a chance for a few light showers. More than anything you'll probably run into a light mist, or maybe some patchy fog. This afternoon we'll keep it mostly cloudy, and mostly dry with only a slight chance for a shower.

Tomorrow I think we'll start off with a lot of fog, but eventually we'll see a little sunshine. I think we could see partly sunny skies once the fog burns off. Then we go right back to the wet pattern for Wednesday. Thursday we dry out, Friday we'll see a chance for some rain, Saturday dry and Sunday a chance again. Up and down all week.

Have a great Monday!
