Beautiful autumn weather continues and you must admit it sure looks like fall with trees in ever-increasing colors and dangling leaves letting go and falling upon the ground. There is early morning fog that desires to linger into the late morning hours and a touch of a chill in the air.
I see no big changes in our weather pattern as another weak low approaches Sunday, but rainfall still looks to be rather benign compared to what it should be. Later next week the remnants of yet another hurricane, this time Olaf, will move northward and perhaps entrain some moisture into our cloudy skies. If things work out we could receive a good soaking, if not just a splitter spatter.
The last hurricane remnants stayed offshore and moved into British Columbia. Little rain was recorded locally. I can tell you that with a bit less moisture in the air tonight, skies will be clear enough all night in most areas for some chilly early morning low temperatures. The first frost for some, maybe frost on the pumpkin? The last official day with a low in the 30s for Vancouver was May 7 with 39 degrees. September reached 40 degrees.
I haven’t had the heat on yet at my house but it won’t be long. Weekend plans should be OK on Saturday with highs in the 60s. Can we snag one more 70-degree day between now and Sunday? We haven’t had a day so far this month with a below-average high temperature. The last 70-degree day we had was Oct. 16 with 74 degrees.
