The best weekend in a while, plus why Eastern Washington is NOT in drought
My new podcast is out.
I start with a very favorable weekend forecast for most of the area, with warm, dry conditions over the lowlands of western and eastern Washington.
Only the mountains could expect some showers on Saturday.
And then I received exaggerated claims of drought in eastern Washington.
I started by referencing Washington’s climate precipitation map, noting that much of the Columbia River basin is desert, with less than 10 inches per year.
Only irrigation is possible, and a small amount of rainfall is meaningless.
In the podcast, I look at the favorable water situation that is currently occurring and will be present throughout the summer in eastern Washington, which is expected to have little negative impact on agriculture.
Bottom line: there is no drought in eastern Washington, by any measure concerned.
