Here is something that catches my eye:
Since the start of meteorological fall - September 1st, Portland has received 7.23" of rainfall. The amount is 2.70" above the two month average of 4.53 inches. Our early start to the La Nina season is 162% of normal! I have not done the homework, but I have to believe we have just completed one of the wettest September, Octobers in a long time.
September was 1.71" above normal. October finishes at .99" above normal. The latest forecast charts give tomorrow, November 1st a good chance of receiving an inch of rain. Remember lots of data support this La Nina season to be the wettest we have seen since the 1990s! Certainly an interesting start that makes you wonder what is yet to come!
Wet October, Outlooks say more coming...
