Welcome to this last day of September. Rain showers will be on the menu, with much cooler temperatures. Light snow was predicted for the higher ski areas in the Cascades overnight. Things will dry out later Wednesday as a ridge of high pressure moves overhead. The coolest morning if we stay clear all night will be Thursday, with lows maybe down to 40 degrees or lower in many county locations. Fall-ish weather, for sure.
Friday through Sunday looks great with highs in the 70s and fair skies, a good time to get outdoor activities accomplished around the yard. Or just forget chores and go hiking or a walk along the beach. I won’t tell.
We are off and running Wednesday with October, with its autumn colors of red, yellow and orange and of course pumpkins and other scary things toward the end of the month.
So what can we expect weather-wise for October? The Climate Prediction Center extended forecast for October 4-10 is for warmer than normal and drier than normal weather over us. We could see high pressure dominate for the most part the first half of the month and then a good start to fall rains and cooler weather the second half. That is what some extended forecast models were showing.
