[Grovenet] it ain't lookin' to good

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Yeah, the track of the Pineapple Express passed us moving north sometime
yesterday. We're due for mostly sunny skies starting Monday.

I skipped my daily run on the beach yesterday and today. When it's blowing
too hard the wind chill sets in when I get splashed by a wave. I like to run
along the edge of the surf, not on the dry sand. Besides the dry sand starts
looking like a Sahara sand storm when the wind kicks up. Gusts are hitting
about 30 mph today and were a bit higher than that yesterday. 

Temp here is 65F. As of now we're up to 0.75" of rain for July at the
Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport. 

A fellow doing the same as I a few miles North at Agate beach came across a
grisly sight: a corpse washed up on the sand. It was a fully-clothed man who
had been dead a few days. 

Each year one or two people, especially teens in swim trunks or cut-offs,
are lost after they turn their back on the surf and get caught by a sneaker
wave and then try to power their way back to shore against the rip until
they become exhausted, but a fully-clothed adult is very unusual. 

Time for Inspector Morse, or at least Jessica Fletcher, to get to work and
solve the mystery.

My weather map shows the heavy rain headed 
directly for the mouth of the Columbia.

  Must be the "luck of the draw" as far as the 
direction the storm clouds are
  heading as they pass north. 100 miles south of 
you in Newport on the coast
  we're having a "wet" July with 0.42" so far and 
35.42" year to date. We're
  having showers today.

  That's a "wet" July this year because other 
recent July rainfalls have been
  much lower:

  2006: 0.28"

  2005: 0.03"

  2004: 0.22"

  2003: 0.14"

  2002: 0.27"
