It's coming back!!!!
Just like your relatives who come and stay to long for the holidays rain is returning, and it's going to be back for a while. My loving spouse Sandy, pointed out It's sad when you count the dry periods in hours! How true.
The next storm is already being picked up on the 4km. satellite images. Rain will start light then get heavier as the day goes on. The warm front arriving will push snow levels up to around 5000ft. Snow that's below that elevation will melt and that means more trouble for the rivers.
QPF ( quanitative precipitation forecasts) estimates were looking at another 1" to 3" of rain through Friday. Yikes! Long term I don't see any changes wet weather at least through Friday of next week. On a historical note. On January 17th 2005, just about one year ago, Portland was begging for rain. It was sunny and we were seeing record high temperatures in the 60's.
Stay dry
