Another Rain Shadow

Continuing our pattern from January, we had another good rain shadow today.  Here's the radar from about 4:30 this afternoon:


The rain shadow seems quite strong.  Sometimes only the very southeastern part of Victoria is in the rain shadow, but this one is extending out west towards Sooke and north towards Sidney.

A look at the daily rainfall totals as of 6 pm:

0 mm at most sites in Victoria, Esquimalt, Oak Bay and Saanich
0.5 mm in Sidney
6 mm in Sooke
8 mm in Duncan
16 mm in  Ladysmith
18-20 mm at most sites in Nanaimo

But as a write this, I can hear a few drops of rain starting to fall.  Here's the latest radar, from just before 6 pm:



It looks like the rain may starting to move in.  It was nice while it lasted!
