Well, it looks like we are in for a cooling trend sometime Sunday or Monday.  I knew that this weather couldn’t last.  I just hope we don’t get prolonged frost.  My fruit trees are starting to bud out!

Well, I haven’t heard any of the meteorologists talk about it yet, but it looks like we have a pineapple express set up to dump lots of rain on us over the next week or so.  Dean Dolin doesn’t think any of the storms will stall over us, but the possibility exists.  I don’t think we have to worry about river flooding here in town, but we are on a flood watch for the local rivers, especially the Chehalis River in Thurston County.

Keep an eye on the local conditions here at Napavineweather.info.

Well, it looks like we have a soggy start to 2010.  So far we have had almost 2.5 inches of rain this year.  I would imagine we will hit that mark by the end of the day.  We already have .36 inches today and .08 late last night.

Yesterday was a pretty nice day.  The sun showed itself a little, which was a nice change.  I am just glad we are in Washington and not in the Midwest.  Way too cold for me!

I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year. It seems that we are having a wet first day.

We have a rain/snow mix right now. If the temperature continues to fall, it might turn into just snow.

Well, it looks like the 50 degree days are over for now.  It is expected to stay in the lower 40’s during the day and it could get down into the lower 30’s at night over the next week or so.  Could it maybe snow Monday or Tuesday night?  We will see.  Right now the forecast is calling for rain Monday night with a low of 31.  Being below freezing could indicate snow.  Or maybe it will be freezing rain, which wouldn’t be good for Tuesday morning.  I am sure my boys would love to see snow this week. 

James

that is the question of the day.  So far the temperature is going up.  I don’t see any clouds right now that would indicate snow is possible.  We will see what the night will bring.  I know my kids would love to see it snow. 

The extremely cold weather is gone for now.  Here we had 9 degree lows for three days in a row!  That beat the old record in 2006 by almost 4 degrees.  It is supposed to warm up next week and bring lots of rain.  I hope it doesn’t rain too much.

James

Well, we have started to get our first real cold snap of the season.  Yesterday morning it got down to 26.1 degrees F.  This morning it got down to 24.4 def. F.  It is supposed to get even colder this weekend.  Dean Dollin  says that there could be some snow Sunday or Monday, but nothing significant.  We will see.  I am going to put out the snow board on Friday in case we get some.

James

Well, I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving.  I had a quiet one. 

The weather over the holiday was pretty mild.  Other than .87 inches of rain, it was quiet.  The week ahead is supposed to be fairly nice for this time of the year with some sun breaks at times.  The temps are supposed to be dropping down into the mid to lower 30’s overnight.

There is a high wind warning watch in effect for Napavine.  See www.napavineweather.info/wxadvisory.php for the full details of the warning watch.  We could have wind gusts as high as 60 mph and sustained winds between 35 and 45 mph.  You will be able to see the current wind conditions on the homepage of the website.  The low pressure system passed farther south than originally forecast.  As a result, the warning was canceled and an watch was issued instead.
