Right on track the fog showed up today and kept temperatures down across the valley. We made it to a sizzling 41° for our high. We cool back down tonight. Saturday will likely be a near repeat. No reason to expect the sun will magically break through the fog this time of year – at least down in the valley.

Up in the Cascades it’s a whole different story in a pattern like this. Lots of sunshine over the fresh coating of snow. Check out these beautiful images from Hood and Hoodoo today!

The next 7 days

Fairly high confidence in the forecast for the next several days. Thursday (Thanksgiving) should be mostly dry, but there is a slight chance for an afternoon shower or two. Lower confidence for that day.

In case you need a refresher, I enjoy using different colors to represent the confidence I have in the forecast. For example a difficult forecast with a high probability of changing is going to be highlighted yellow while green highlighting indicates high confidence in my forecast staying on track.

The Cascades will have a little bit of snow Sun & Mon, but overall not too bad for traveling. Tue night through Thanksgiving morning will be pretty snowy with another 10 to 15 inches of new snow for the ski resorts.

Have a great weekend!!!!
