Weather Banter

This is just so different from Alabama that I had to share it -- from the current Portland FD:

...Convective opportunites return tomorrow, moving
northward into the area, especially in the areas from I-5 east
across the Cascades. Showers will start after 11 am with
lightning/thunder probabilities of 5-15% after 3 pm. Things will
decrease by 10 pm tomorrow evening. The central Cascades have
the best chance for lightning and showers, and unfortunately a
wetting rain isn`t anticipated. I wouldn`t be surprised if the
Mount Adams to Mount St Helens area saw some lightning

Yes, showers are not wetting during summer here, when they happen at all (which they haven't, really, in the 11 years I've out here except a little bit last year and some more this year).

When raindrops do reach the ground, at least around the house here, dandelion-like flowers suddenly appear out of the parched brown lawn. They're soon gone, but that little bit of moisture is all these plants need, I guess. And as soon as the real rains set in, that same apparently dead grass will green right up and we'll have emerald-colored lawns again til next summer.

Amazing.
