There is some good news and bad news in the weather forecast this week. The good news is that the temperatures will be relatively mild, especially overnight, generally in the 50s and 60s. A huge area of low pressure will remain a few hundred miles off our coastline and spin disturbances around into the Northwest.
This promises some shower activity at times but also offers some dry periods as well. Snow levels unfortunately will be above the timberline reaches of the Cascades, so not much in the way of building a ski snowpack quite yet.
So nothing really exciting in the weather to write home about. Of course as we broad-brush the next seven days of weather as mild and showery at times, it is always possible for a more vigorous low to develop. For that we keep our weather eye open as we are in the fall stormy season.
We were at 6.76 inches of rain for the month as of late Monday afternoon here in Vancouver. Way above average but not quite as much as January when 7.03 inches fell. If we can swing by that total it will the wettest month in 2016. We should easily make it by midnight Halloween.
