Just a short note.
Last night, as sea air flooded in, the air quality around the area improved rapidly. The latest purple air map shows all of western Washington now with good air quality. With increased inshore/westerly flows, wildfire smoke has been pushed into northeast Washington.
Expect improvements in the central and southern Willamette Valley later today.
A series of bushes in the northwest stream will bring rainfall to the dynasty over the next few days, with mostly mountains. Check cumulative rainfall until 5 p.m. Monday (see below). Several inches will fall on the western slopes of the Cascades, which will greatly reduce existing fires. The temperature will drop sharply and the relative humidity will be high.
Due to the direction of the wind, the Puget Sound will be obscured by the Olympics, and an area of heavy rain will appear east of the Cascades.
In short, we’ve gone through a transition to more winter-like conditions.
And we won’t be back.
Here are the totals for the next ten days. OH. I’ll take out my umbrella!
