Joshua Lake Oswego Posted October 19, 2022 Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 There are going to be some losers with the first shot of rain. It is not looking like a widespread soaking unfortunately. I think the losers will be south of Portland and BC. Longview to Bellingham will be the winners. The Cascades will do very well of course. The good news is that there are more decent chances for a widespread soaking in the pipeline. Of course, we are getting close to the wettest month of the year where we average about .20āā/day. So, soon any 10 day forecast with <2āā is actually below normal.Ā 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
