Jesse Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 The WRF shows some 30s over the next couple of days. Nice to see some good minus departures finally.Yeah. Tomorrow night especially looks to be chilly in outlying areas. Low/mid 40s wouldn’t surprise me here. Maybe light frost in the eastern Coast Range valleys of Columbia County. Like Timber or Vernonia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT-SEA Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 This month is proof positive September isn't always nice here. It has rained every day for a week now and I've had over 2 inches of rain since the weather turned. This is one of those years it simply changed over night and that was it. I'm still quite confident of a cold fall / very early winter.Yeah... one extreme to the other. No balance. Totally dry to rain almost every day. Ugly.

SilverFallsAndrew Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 Yeah interestingly I think we have more defined seasons down here.

BLI snowman Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 Yeah... one extreme to the other. No balance. Totally dry to rain almost every day. Ugly. We still haven't seen a significant low pressure system come ashore or seen a true stratiform rain event. No steady or prolonged rain events yet for most areas, which makes a big difference. The vast majority of places have been in a partly sunny with occasional showers pattern the past week. Meaning plenty of breaks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably true. Drought and famine affected ancient humans much more directly than we experience day to day now. They even created gods to pray to for rain and sun.

But we were talking about ancient people, not present times. Probably very close/anxious tracking of the weather back then. Especially once we developed agriculture. It still matters today, on the larger scale. But we have more flexibility in shuffling things around. Ie if there is drought affecting the output of a crop in one area we can usually get the food item from somewhere else that is not being affected.
