it just might be 40 days and 40 nights of rain... 23 of the last 24 days now with rain or rain showers. I expect rain will continue through early Wednesday the we should catch a bit of a break. Not just rain but record rain in Portland 1.35" as of 7pm. That's a new 24 hour record. Today's high 57 degrees also goes into the books tying a record set 61 years ago.
Lee's camp in The Coast Range has nearly been washed away, they've picked up 6.50" of rain in 24hrs. Now for some good news. I think the rain will let up a bit on Wednesday. I won't be completely dry but instead of steady preciptiation we're looking at showers. That should help the rivers drop back into there banks. The break is going to be short lived, we're back under the gun again Thursday!
Talk about a 180 degree swing, last year at this time is was dry, sunny and warm, high's were in the 60's! Talk was about the "D" word. Not downpour but drought...
