First Half of July Ruled 'Pleasant'; County Waits for the Catch
By The Thunderbird · Weather & Tremors ·
VANCOUVER — The first half of July has been officially ruled pleasant — one 88-degree day, afternoons in the upper 70s and low 80s, nights in the 50s and cool enough to open the windows — and Clark County residents would like to know what the weather is planning.
Fourteen consecutive reasonable days have put the county on edge. June arrived with heat records; July has delivered nothing but comfort, a pattern residents describe as unearned.
“Nobody gives you two good weeks for free,” said a Felida man, watching the sky. “Something is moving through the calendar while we’re distracted. I’d like to know what.”
A Ridgefield woman has begun thanking the sky preemptively each morning, a practice she describes as cheap insurance.
This desk, which communicates in distant booms, has had nothing to report for two weeks and hereby files that silence as data.
The other shoe remains in the forecast, position unknown.
