Just As Predicted

"Rain returns to the Northwest, expect a lot more by Monday"

"PORTLAND, Ore. - At long last, the rain has returned. But what a great run summer had. After a stretch of over 100 days of blue skies, warm temperatures and summer fun, broken just once by a piddling .04 inches of rain many weeks ago, Northwest weather reality has returned along with the rain drops. KATU Meteorologist Rhonda Shelby says to expect rain today with steady rain Friday night, followed by showers on Saturday."

It was indeed quite a run. 121 dry days. 

Once Again, All Good Things Must...

"One more day of sunshine and mild temperatures, then real fall weather arrives."
