The weather is beginning to feel more fall-like as we get more clouds drifting by, cooler days and even light sprinkles or showers around the county. Nothing major yet, but the weather pattern has changed from last week.
We had a large area of high pressure off the coast for a couple of weeks keeping weather systems to our north and only brushing us at times. We shot back up into the 90s earlier last week before a slow cool-down with highs in the 80s Thursday and Friday.
Saturday was pleasant with afternoon temperatures in the low 70s.
Now we have a large area of low pressure off our coast in the Gulf of Alaska spinning around. This will continue for a good share of the upcoming week. A series of weak systems will move inland and bring us an increased chance of showers. At this point, most rainfall from any storms will be light, a tenth of an inch maybe here in the lowlands if we are lucky.
I’m still looking for a good soaker to arrive, but I doubt we’ll get one unless one front enhances overhead. So, we keep a chance of light rain or showers Monday through Thursday. This means rain could fall at any time but also partial clearing as well. That low spinning off the coast is like a roulette wheel, where she stops no one knows.
