I had 3.6" "in the tube" between my 7:25 am reading and midnight here in Glacier, WA. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see more than 4.5" for twenty four hours (love UW's radar: https://atmos.washington.edu/weather/radar.shtml - thanks for that!)<br /><br />I've seen worse - 5-7" in a day - but we absolutely LOVE fall weather. Mother Nature's pruning, true. Life in the Pacific Northwest is a hoot.<br /><br />As for the flood warnings for the Nooksack - I'll be surprised if there's much of a blip for a while. Why? There's not a great deal of snow above us yet (some, but nothing like spring snowmelt). Over many years I've come to understand that what drives serious floods is the combination of heavy rain-on-heavy snow + high tides. For all the rain we're getting, that's not the case at this time.GlacierBakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14691372693124586046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-43435712347586510972017-10-18T23:41:32.766-07:002017-10-18T23:41:32.766-07:00Our yard in Bellingham is covered with 1/2'...Our yard in Bellingham is covered with 1/2'' of cedar slag.<br />A few plants knocked over when the wind did it's "gust" thing.cgthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15810780473362242679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-21141015569826711422017-10-18T23:19:39.630-07:002017-10-18T23:19:39.630-07:00Sure,rain for the next few days,but it looks like ...Sure,rain for the next few days,but it looks like widespread record, or near record, maximum temps for much of the Western U.S. next week.Could parts of Western Washington experience 70 degree plus weather if a strong offshore flow develops?Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03855312259314603071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-53614936415273040952017-10-18T22:48:18.888-07:002017-10-18T22:48:18.888-07:00I'm not ready. 😕I'm not ready. 😕dampscribblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03631146101239217541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-46559916507685116402017-10-18T22:10:57.348-07:002017-10-18T22:10:57.348-07:00Cliff, I share your sentiment: it feels good.

Per the climate data from the Spokane weather office, we had the driest summer (June 21-Sept 21) on record. Just a measly 0.06-in. For some perspective, the normal is 2.07-in and the data go back to 1906 for the Winthrop station. Indeed, for the 4 month period from June 16 to Oct 16, we only had 0.08-in. Last spring I figured we would revert to the mean after the wet winter but 0.08-in in 4 months seems a little absurd.Deekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10227802798728715787noreply@blogger.com
