Damp Weekend in Store for Cowlitz County


If you enjoy singing in the rain (and wind), this weekend should be an exciting time for you. The National Weather Service has issued a special weather statement for tonight through Monday. They predict a wet and windy holiday weekend. A large-scale, upper-level low pressure system will develop and reside offshore through the upcoming week. A strong jet stream will direct a series of storm systems around this low pressure. Many of the systems will rotate bands of precipitation and periods of strong winds onshore into the Pacific Northwest through the week. The strongest system looks to impact the area on Sunday afternoon and evening, bringing strong wind gusts and heavy rain. For more information, visit the Portland National Weather Service website.
