Yesterday saw storms rushing north from a low-pressure blob just off the OR/CA border. As they approached they wore down and essentially disappeared just south of us. I mowed the lawn under a fierce 0.01-inch downpour i.e. I did not get wet.
This morning we awoke to a large patch of radar echoes east of Portland. By this time the low was near the coast and storms were moving from east to west. Once again the storms died out; most probably as they came west off the Cascades the downslope dried them out.
This afternoon storms began developing to our north and dropping our way! Several blew up around Castle Rock as an E-W pressure ripple dropped our way. And again they missed us - this time the downsloping was off the Willapa Hills which are nearly as big as the Cascade foothills. So many hard showers around, and we have recieved 0.01" total.More attempts could be made this evening; we shall see.
