Ready for some rain? It's in the forecast this week

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

With unusually warm temperatures this month and little rain throughout the summer, hearing that rain is in the forecast this week may be welcome news for many around Western Washington.

Some cooler and cleaner ocean air is moving in Monday and air quality is in the moderate to unhealthy for sensitive group range, with a few monitoring stations reporting good air quality.

The onshore push isn’t super strong, but it should be strong enough to improve air quality a bit more with some haze still around Monday afternoon.

Air quality will be the lowest closest to the foothills and closer to the fires. Highs will be in the upper 60s and lower 70s, which compared to the 88 degrees on Sunday is a huge difference. The record for Monday is 74, which we more than likely will not reach. I have Seattle hitting 69.

1. I'm YEARNING for rain!

Here in NW Oregon the trees are stressed, lots of brown on the ends of those branches. Scary!

At least it’s cool and overcast, at least for now. High’s expected to hit 71. And the clouds are supposed to burn away by late afternoon. Dear God we need some rain!

At least the damn ongoing heat seems to be over. But it looks like we’ll have to keep waiting for rain til at least Friday.
