SHORT-TERM FORECAST
Following some unseasonably mild weather, a cold front will bring temperatures down closer to normal for mid-October standards. Expect windy conditions to develop on Saturday as this change gets underway, but as has been the case for the month of October so far, no widespread measurable precipitation is expected.
LONG-TERM FORECAST
This is the time of year when our wet season should really be ramping up, but unfortunately, I still don't see any signs of that happening yet. The reason is that higher pressure will continue to divert most of the major storm activity away from the Northwest. Instead, weakening systems will generate some occasional cloud cover, but no widespread precipitation is expected at this time.
General Short-Term Model Agreement: EXCELLENT
General Long-Term Model Agreement: GOOD
