This has been an unusually wet summer on the eastern slope of the Washington Cascades. We've had "significant" (more than a trace) rain events several times each month when our usual pattern is some rain in June, then dry until late September or early October. These rain events haven't been the afternoon thunderstorms that occasionally pop up over the mountains, but seem to be associated with monsoonal flows from the south. Sorry I don't have "hard" data, but that shouldn't be too difficult to obtain. My field crews have been soggy all summer when usually they're dusty.--Ann Camp < aecamp@televar.com>
