Happy Friday!! I hope you all are enjoying October. We have a very wet Saturday on tap with close to an inch of rain expected tonight through the day tomorrow. Breezy too with gusts early Saturday morning of 20 – 30mph. Rain should move in tonight around 10pm.

1.) Sun & Mon: Showers at times with more breezy/gusty winds up to 30mph Sunday night.

2.) Tuesday starts off dry with rain moving in late afternoon.

3.) Wednesday will be the opposite with a few showers early morning; otherwise a mostly dry day.

4.) Thursday through next weekend (the 17th & 18th) looks dry for any outdoor activities you may have planned.

Below is the estimated total precipitation through Wednesday. These maps aren’t perfect; however, they do a decent job of showing roughly how much precip can be expected and where it will fall.

Basically we can expect about 2″ over the next several days here in Salem with more in the mountains and along the coast. A good fall soaking bringing rain even east of the Cascades which will help end the fire season over there! As mentioned, dry weather returns Wednesday afternoon and should last through next weekend.
