Thanksgiving is closing in on us and I have put together (just for you) a detailed look at the type of weather conditions we can expect between now through the end of the Thanksgiving weekend.

Remember the images are clickable, so if you want (or need) a closer view then feel free to click on them.  Pretty fancy right???  😉

Sunday – Tuesday:  Dry & sunny with cold nighttime lows.  I expect frosty mornings all 3 days, so bundle up!!

Wednesday:  Increasing clouds through the day.  At this point I think it will be dry, but watching for the chance of some late day showers.

Thursday:  A shower or two early on.  Rain & wind moving in late in the day.  Winds gusting 30 – 40mph.

Friday:  Windy at times with lots of showers.  Gusts up to 40mph in the morning, dying down through the day.

Saturday:  A partly cloudy day with just a few scattered left over showers.

Sunday:  Chance for some light rain.

No fancy graphic this time.  The weather will remain very predictable for at least the next 7 days or longer.  Here are the details:

Today & Tuesday:  Mostly sunny, cool, and dry.  Highs: mid 50s, lows: 32 – 37°

Wednesday:  Lots more clouds with a very slight chance for a rain shower.  Highs: mid 50s.

Thursday – Monday:  dry with mostly sunny afternoons, cold mornings, and patchy fog.  Highs: 51 – 58° & lows: 28 – 36°

The next several days are fairly easy as far as forecasting goes: patchy morning fog some days, a few clouds at times, and lots of sun, especially in the afternoons.  Chilly mornings too.

Our first widespread frost of the season is looking quite possible over the next few mornings.  Whether or not we hit freezing will all depend on how clear the skies are and if fog rolls in or not.  Regardless, it will still be chilly in the mornings.

That’s all for now, so enjoy our nice dry, cool fall weather while it lasts.

Review from yesterday

Overall I’m happy with how yesterday’s forecast went.  It was drier during the day than I anticipated, but the same couldn’t be said for folks living north of Salem where light rain fell much of the day.  The mostly dry evening turned out to be a good forecast which was the biggest thing I was concerned with.  Most of all, roughly 24 hours later, I can say that I am pleased with how my forecast turned out, and I’m thrilled that some surprise downpour did not occur.

Onto the forecast

Gloomy weather will dominate the next 7 days.

Confidence is higher that Friday night through Saturday night will be dry.  It will be chilly, not real sunny necessarily, but dry.  Other change is for Sunday.  It’s still going to be a wet day, but not at much rain as I was thinking in the previous post.

And now for the super fun announcement……….. 

You may have noticed over the past week or so that the images in my posts are now clickable!!  Woo hoo!!!  Now you can click on them for a larger view.  Was that worth the build up lol?? 😉   

Alright, have a good rest of your week!!

We have had a couple of very active days with over an inch & a half of rain falling between Sunday & Monday, the Cascades picked up a few inches of snow, and 3 very weak tornados were spotted right here in western Oregon.  None of the tornados did any serious damage, but rather crazy weather nevertheless.

Over the next 7 days the best chance for dry weather will be today and then again for much of Saturday.  Final thing to highlight is the increasing likelihood that Sunday will be very wet. 

Today:  Lots of clouds, but very little in the way of rain.  Maybe a quick sprinkle.  Nothing more.

Wednesday:  Light rain for much of the day.  This remains a very tricky forecast if you are wanting to know if the evening hours will be dry.  All I know at this point is that the later in the day/evening we go the better chance for dry weather.  When that dry weather moves in exactly I cannot say.  This means Halloween plans could be a little bit damp.

Thursday:  A few light showers.

Friday:  More light rain at times.

Saturday:  Dry most of the day, but will still see some pesky isolated showers here & there.

Sunday:  A very wet day as mentioned above.  Rain, some heavy at times.  With perhaps more than an inch possible. 

Monday:  A few showers.
