Yes it's true UFO's Unidentified Flying Objects have been reported over the Portland Metro Area! Authorities
report upon futher investigation the objects appear to resemble trash can lids... The numerous sightings
are confined to the area east of I-205 on both the Washington & Oregon sides of the Columbia River.

Oh ya, did I mention the east winds are back! After almost a 48 hour break the winds are howling again. From Cascade Locks to Troutdale winds will reach 35-45mph sustained. Gust could make it to 60mph. The strongest winds will be around the Rooster Rock and Corbett areas.

The good news is the wind will keep fog and freezing fog from forming on the eastside. Thursday I would expect to see more problems in wind sheltered areas with fog and freezing fog. The problems should be a little better since the winds will help dry out the atmoshpere and reduce the fog in many but not all areas. A lot of folks want to know when this pattern is going to end. My answer, not anytime soon. There are some signs the wet weather might return sometime next week.

By the way Wednesday is trash day in Troutdale
