SHORT-TERM FORECAST
The secondary low pressure system sitting offshore will gradually weaken and move away from the Northwest by early next week. In the meantime, the chance of a scattered rain or snow shower will continue, especially Wednesday night and again later Saturday. Otherwise, most areas will remain dry much of the time. Temperatures will also remain slightly cooler than average, and there will also be areas of low clouds and fog in places during the overnight and early morning periods.
LONG-TERM FORECAST
Higher pressure is forecast to return going into the first week of November. This will put us right back into a period of unseasonably dry weather with little if any precipitation. On the flip side, areas of low clouds and fog could be problematic in some locations under the high pressure ridge. Thereafter, the pattern is showing signs of becoming more active as we move toward next weekend and the 2nd week of the month. If an active storm track takes aim on the Northwest again as many models are predicting, then expect a return to varying degrees of precipitation later in the period.
General Short-Term Model Agreement: GOOD
General Long-Term Model Agreement: GOOD
