November has always been a gray month around these parts. Usually this time of year if it’s not raining then it’s cloudy or foggy with only a few sunbreaks mixed in between, and the past several days have proven this to be true as every single day this past week has featured either extensive cloud cover and or fog with some glorious sunbreaks mixed in.

Looking forward there is nothing exciting going on or life altering as far as our weather goes. We have rain coming in tonight through Monday morning, and then some light rain showers Wednesday; otherwise, the majority of this week is looking dry. Just don’t mistake mostly dry as being mostly sunny haha. This is something the weather apps often get wrong around here during winter. Portland and areas near the Columbia River Gorge sometimes see more sun as they often get some east wind, but we could very likely end up foggy most of this week. Any sunbreaks this week should be viewed as a nice bonus.

To recap: The majority of Monday will be dry, Tuesday will be dry, Wednesday will feature a few showers, and then Thursday – Saturday afternoon will again be dry. Highs most of the week will range from upper 40s to lower 50s depending on cloud cover, fog, and how much sun we actually get. Lows 35 to 40° each night. Rain looks to return late in the day on Saturday.

One more important update

I’m keeping a very close eye on the week of Thanksgiving and will have updates for you all later this week as more details become clear. What I can tell you is we might have some extremely wild weather next we. Currently the week of Thanksgiving could end up being a mess. I’m watching the potential for a powerful storm Monday & Tuesday (Nov 20th and 21st) followed by the potential for much colder air to move into our region right around Thanksgiving lowering snow levels dramatically. Still a ways out, but there is certainly a lot to watch, and you know I’ll be on it!! 😉 🙂

Take care and stay safe!! 🙂
