Driving past the Nooksack (native name meaning noisy water) river I could see that it was quite high. Checking my home weather station I can see that the temps went from 47°F at midnight up to 63°F right now. The Pineapple Express is on its way. About a tenth of an inch of rainfall so far but that is due to change really soon. This just came in about 15 minutes ago:
Flood Watch
National Weather Service Seattle WA
229 PM PST Mon Nov 26 2018
...FLOOD WATCH NOW IN EFFECT THROUGH TUESDAY EVENING...
The Flood Watch is now in effect for
* A portion of northwest Washington, including the following counties, Clallam, Skagit, and Whatcom.
* Through Tuesday evening
* Heavy rain has been falling and periods of heavy rain will continue through early Tuesday over the Olympics and north Cascades. This amount of rain will lead to the potential for flooding in those counties including the Bogachiel, Skagit and downstream points on the Nooksack Rivers later tonight or Tuesday.
In other words, it is winter in the Pacific Northwest. Cliff Mass has all the circles and arrows.
Unpacking the van and starting some pot roast for dinner.
