Another wet and breezy storm moved through Wednesday with some high winds of 65 mph at the coast and inland about 25 to 35 mph in exposed locations. Maybe a few garbage can casualties? We caught up in our monthly rainfall some. We are still below average but will be at normal or higher in due course.
Showers are scattered today as the cold pool of air behind Wednesday’s storm lingers overhead. Snow will be falling in the mountains. Things settle down on Friday and it should be dry and chilly late in the day and early Saturday. This would be the best opportunity for our colder locations around the county to see light frost.
Then yep, you guessed it, more rain on Sunday with showers continuing Monday. We may have a couple of dry days Tuesday and Wednesdays with easterly winds. A chance to cleanup the yard with all the leaves that may have fallen. It will be cool however with the east winds. Cooler weather with precipitation follows later next week. We are in our usual November habit.
