Clouds stick around Sunday, but the wind does not. We’ll see light and variable wind in the morning with light westerlies (less than 10mph) in the afternoon. High temp: 75. Monday sees a trough of low pressure move over the Northwest. That sets us up for another day of light wind: light and variable in the morning, west 10-13 in the afternoon. No sign in the forecasts of a big east or west day this week, but we do have a chance at some actual, significant rain!
Kiting is no longer allowed at the Marina – it has become unsafe for other user groups. Lyle is now off limits unless you can get to the sandbar without crossing the RR tracks. If you cross the tracks, you will be ticketed. Lyle: loved to death. Roosevelt: still closed due to wind damage from earlier this year. Mosier is only available to residents of 97040 (Mosier).
