"Oh yeah? Watch this!"

Our tag line today relates to how Nature responded to our last forecast of "dry through at least Oct 20” - now rain & showers are likely, at times.  It’s as though Nature says, “Watch this!”  Or, it could be that lots of Patrons washed their cars, which always brings on rain!?  It’s the first Friday of October 2024, so let’s get to why you are here with a morn’n beverage in hand. 

Rain today, with showers lingering into the evening.  Cooler.  The weekend does look dry & mild.  As for next week, we see another chance for a few showers, esp over the Vancouver Island & the Puget Sound later on Mon the 7th on into nightfall.  A repeat of this is likely for Tue night into early Wed, which should include NW OR.  After that, it looks dry to wrap up the week of Oct 7-11,  EXCEPT for a chance for showers over mainly western OR overnight Thu Oct 10.  

There may be a bit of FOG Sat morning, the 13th, in the lowlands, but the weekend is charting as dry & mild.  A NE breeze should arrive Sunday on into Mon the 14th, keeping fog away.  Dry through that week until Fri Oct 18, when another Pacific storm is on the charts for Fri night. 

So, obviously, Oct will not be nearly as dry as we had forecast earlier this week.  Still, the models do not present super-wet storms nor multiple wet days in a row.  Will that hold?  Check back here on Monday.
