Hi everyone,
Thanks to Dana for the almost-wakeup call at 7:15 this morning. Dana lives on the bluff in Hood River and was calling to let me know that it's 65 degrees and nuking.
It's colder than that inside my house. It's not nuking in here, though.
Apparently it blew so hard that the power is out in much of HR and White Salmon. For once, the ghetto has been spared. I have the power!
Gradients this morning at .18/.04/.44 and there's a wall of rain approaching on the satellite picture. What this suggests is that the cold front is just west of Hood River. So... give it a couple of hours and watch the gradients in the desert. I'd expect 35+ at Arlington and Threemile later today. I suspect that The Wall will be very gusty. If you don't want to drive, gusty 30+ is the call from Hood River eastward.
Tomorrow is looking quite good. Strong high pressure builds in at the coast, driving winds into the 28-32 range from the Hatch to Maryhill. Wind direction should be better at The Wall tomorrow. Sail around 11-1 tomorrow for strongest winds. After that, high pressure builds inland, tempering gradients.
Does the warm weather mean winter's over?
Have a great day!
Temira
