General Discussion: Last night’s storm nestled up against the west slope of the Cascades and then just stopped. Radar shows the tail end of the storm moving east of the mountain this morning. At least we squeezed 5+ inches out of it.
Long-term: High pressure will begin to build today. This will set up a longer term dry period, lasting well into the upcoming weekend.
