Back in the rain shadow we go!

Back in the rain shadow we go! I’m still tracking the storm train about to happen for any extreme wind. These La Niña spring patterns can sneak up on us. As of now the major gradients are headed down to Portland and the OR coast, but I’m keeping my eye on the extended for any changes.

In any case, the gulf of Alaska is awake and the storm train is arriving Saturday.

Expect rain, wind and some really nice transitory high pressure sunshine. The “in-between” days are always the prettiest during these patterns as we can always find some unexpected calm wind and sunny warmth.

And yes — we will be rain shadowed, as shown in the two slides above.
