The first few days of this week may not feel all that cold, but in comparison to average, it’s going to be cold. An upper level trough, one that’s easily comparable to a trough that we typically see in the November through March period, will drop down from the Gulf of Alaska late Monday afternoon bringing a period of heavy rain and some gusty winds. That may seem typical for spring in the region, but the airmass behind the front is going to be as cold as it gets for this time of year. With clearing possible after the frontal passive on tuesday night, we could be looking at all time record lows for the month of may in the county. Bellingham’s record lows around this time of year are right around freezing, and with any luck, we’ll rival those records. We’ll keep you up to date as this event nears.
