From One Extreme...

Currently in Lewiston

 

54°F Fair Feels Like
54°F

We're having a heat wave!  Talk about strange.  Three days ago the hi was 25 degrees and it snowed, today it was up to 58 degrees.  What's up with that?  Sure, it's great to walk around without the heavy coat, but with the snowpack in the mountains, and this 'heat'...it's got all the makings for some serious flooding if the temps don't drop back down to the low 30s...soon.

Well, just checked the 10 day forecast and it doesn't look good.  Rain, rain, and more rain.  Temps in the high 40s and mid 50s. 

That's all we need...more floods.  We just got all the projects from the 1996 floods wrapped up and closed out.  That was a 100 year flood...geologists say its highly unlikely to have two 100 year events within a ten year period, but it's not impossible. 

Hope this is one time the weather person is wrong.
