Rain a Chance Sunday Night.

Title pretty much says it all.  We have a slight chance of rain coming in on Sunday.  Mostly along the coast north of San Francisco.  An approaching system coming out of the Gulf of Alaska and heading to the Washington coast will draw moisture from Hurricane Hillary up ahead of it.  This band will run into the California Coast somewhere north of Santa Barbara.  Most likely, this will occur late Sunday north of Bodega Bay.  But, it could come ashore through the Bay Area.  The main band will have a lot of moisture entrenched in it, and we could see over half in inch in many areas.  Side bands will create more sporadic showers.  Point is - be ready if there is anything you need to take care of.  As for the gardeners, I would not worry too much.  Chance are you will see no rain, or just a short shower.  I am not going to do anything to protect my dry farmed tomatoes, but that is just me.  A more cautious me would be building my autumn dry green house about now.

The first sizable north west swell of the season arrive on Thursday.  The crowds were pleased.

More later, but over the next few days we some some fog in the mornings, clearing to partly cloudy skies.  Some chance of thunderstorms today and rain Sunday.  Clearing to transitional fall weather after that.  Portland and areas north are definitely into a wet pattern
