Like the arteries that supply blood to the heart -- the coronary arteries -- the carotid arteries can also develop atherosclerosis or âhardening of the arteriesâ on the inside of the vessels. Over time, the buildup of fatty substances and cholesterol narrows the carotid arteries.
NPS/Steve Redman. Weather patterns at Mount Rainier are strongly influenced by the Pacific Ocean, elevation, and latitude. The climate is generally cool and rainy, with summer highs in the 60s and 70s. While July and August are the sunniest months of the year, rain is possible any day, and very likely in spring, fall, and winter.
Good evening Central Oregon! Wednesday brought warmer temperatures and partly cloudy skies across the high desert. This afternoon and evening we are seeing breezy conditions, and that will continue through the night. Overnight we will see some changes come as rain will move into the area, and the cascades will see some snow.
