~Fall Around the Pacific Northwest~
Exclusive Inland NW Summary Issued: Wednesday, October 28, 2026 @ 7:00pm
WRITTEN BY: Climatologist Bob Lutz
(Summaries will be issued as needed, and updated more frequently during times of active weather conditions)
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, but it will remain dry much of the time.
LONG-TERM FORECAST
Higher pressure is forecast to return going into the first week of November. This will put us right back into an extended period of unseasonably mild and dry weather with little if any precipitation. Thereafter, the pattern is showing signs of becoming more active as we approach the 2nd week of the new month. An active storm track should begin to take aim on the Northwest, which, if it occurs, would send several fronts with varying degrees of precipitation over our region.
General Short-Term Model Agreement: GOOD
