our wild weather

[sunshine]

The strong winds could stick around for the next few days, with wind gusts of more than 40 mph possible Friday.
In addition, brace yourself for some big swings in temperature. Temps will struggle to get near 50 on Friday, with wind chills in the 30s.
Friday will also be cloudy, with the occasional sprinkle or shower possible.
The weekend will be dry, with plenty of sunshine both days, but on the chilly side of average. Both Saturday and Sunday mornings will be in the 30s to near 40. A widespread freeze is not likely, but frost will be possible in the rural areas Sunday morning. Afternoon highs will stay in the 50s Saturday and then get back into the upper 60s Sunday.
The outlook for Monday and Tuesday is shaping up to be great, with sunny skies and highs near 80.

Glad you missed that one.  High winds here and 6.45 am big bang and all power went out.  Just took a cup of tea back to bed and on my mobile phone with data on.  My Next Door app says estimated time for power to be restored 11 pm.  Yikes!

Yikes is right! I hope you get it back on asap!!!

We're expecting high winds today.  It poured rain all through the night, and now it's looking dark and ominous again.

We got up and went out to the motorhome and turned on the generator.  Got everything all set up and the fridge running, heat etc. and then the generator died.  Think the fuel pump may have gone.  I was living with a mad man for a moment.  We trudged back into the house and 5 minutes later all the power came back on, so I don't know where they got that it would be out all day.  Anyway we still have high winds and I'm not counting on anything but it does make you think about being prepared for the big earthquake that is predicted for the PacificNW.

A tornado dumped some cherry trees at the Jefferson monument yesterday.
