Breaks in the Rain

Another week, another peek at the outlook for the rest of October.  Coffee ready here.

Cool Columbus Day, with a bit of chilly wind out of the Fraser Gap today.  Regionally, a chilly night ahead, but our Sunday storm has moved down into CA for this week (lots of wx issues for the Golden State from this system).  For this week it looks DRY, with some sunshine, at times.  Temps will not warm up quite as much as we mentioned last Fri, but low 60s possible by the end of the week.  (Morning FROST possible east side through Thu, if the sky clears in your location.)

The coming weekend will start out dry & mild, then turn quite WET by Oct 19.  The next storm will move over Vancouver Is after dark on Sat the 18th, then spread over the rest of the region overnight.  Breezy.  Again, Sunday will be damp and chilly.  Snow likely above the passes.

Week of Oct 20-24 will start with cool showers that will diminish Monday afternoon leading into a dry Tue the 21st.  Models indicate a WET system that will arrive Wed and continue ito Fri the 24th; however, this wet storm may limit its reach to western WA & BC.  Oregon may miss out on the rain until Fri, and even then, only north of Salem and along the Columbia River Gorge.  

Weekend of Oct 25,26 is trending PLEASANT on Saturday & early Sunday, before heavy rain moves in late Sunday on through the start of the following week.  

⚠️ VERY WET & WINDY Mon - Wed Oct 27-29.  A notable October storm period, with localized flooding possible, especially given falling leaves.
