The weather starts the year out with a bang at the Washington Coast. Besides the outstanding fireworks at midnight, we had sustained winds of 23mph all day, with gusts to 41mph and the highest tides of the year. Coastal flood warning issued with 20 foot waves....it was awesome. In addition to mother natures activity on this first day of the year... it is the 2nd day of clam digging and hundreds of lanterns speckle the beach below us.
Year (2009) in review. A total of 76.20 inches of rain was recorded by our Davis weather instruments at Seashore Dreams this year. The highest temperature was 89F and the low was 16F, with a windchill of 7F. The highest wind recorded in 2009 was 58mph. No extreme storms. We did have snow several times in January and February but no blizzards to speak of.
All in all it was a typical weather year at the Washington Coast.
