WEATHER FORECAST: June 25 – July 1, 2009 
    
Over the past week, we have noted some interesting and dramatic variations in rainfall across the Portland Metro area. Locally heavy showers dumped 1-1.75" of rainfall over Portland and Troutdale areas last Friday while other locations South and West received just a trace or .01". This left us with some variable ET values and some areas which need to water while other spots have not needed as much. The pattern ahead though will require that we plan to water over the next 7 to 14 days as Mom Nature is set to send us into a much drier mode. Expect much warmer, or hotter, weather as we move into July, and beyond with very little rainfall forecasted for the next 7 days.
