Happy new year to all of you! There is nothing special or really crazy going on with our weather in the near future. We have mostly dodged the worst of the storms lately as they have been aimed at California. I imagine you’ve heard about some of the wild weather they have seen down there with heavy heavy rain, gusty winds, and feet and feet of mountain snow.

Here in western Oregon, Salem is on our 7th day in a row of seeing rainfall, and yet we are running about 40% below average for the month. The rain we have seen (so far) this month has been light with plenty of dry breaks in between. Again, most of the action has stayed to our south.

The remainder of today will be breezy with some heavier showers moving through.

Monday will be similar to today with some gusty winds and bands of showers.

Tue & Wed: More dry weather than wet. In fact most of the daytime hours both these days should be dry with rain coming back to the valley late Wednesday afternoon/early evening.

Thu & Fri: Fairly wet days.

See? Nothing exciting. Just regular Oregon rain.

Have a wonderful week!
