Big Weather Picture Oct. 30-Nov 7

Wet Pattern on the Way Out

The large storm system will be leaving our area today (Friday Oct 30), and seasonably cool air will fill in behind it. We'll have some wind Friday and Saturday, but things will calm down after that.

For most of the Nov 1-5 period, the weather looks a bit drier-- only light precipitation is expected. Temperatures will be near average to slightly below average with highs in the upper 30's to low 40's and lows mostly in the 20's.

By the deer rifle opening weekend, an El Nino-induced mild weather pattern will begin. I expect this to be the beginning of a very long and persistent mild pattern that could last most of the winter. We shall see. For one, the Farmer's Almanac does not agree with me.
