I posted last week that we could see a pattern change around mid-month.  Some of you have been asking for an update.  October is usually a quiet month, especially to start, but it can bring decent snows later in the month.  Last year the mountains saw a decent storm that dropped 1-2 feet in late October.  

The forecast models in the unreliable long-range continue to show the ridge off the coast being replaced by a trough by the end of week 2.  I am continuing to watch the runs each day and other variables going on.  Still watching for a possible pattern change to cooler and possibly stormy around mid-month possilby due to remnants of a typhoon moving across the North Pacific next week.  I will update as we get closer.

I am also watching the patterns develop that could affect our Winter weather.  Some of you have asked for a Winter forecast.  I have already posted 2 long discussions about the upcoming Winter in September if you look back through the posts.  I plan to have a Winter forecast out before the end of the month.  

For now the weather will get slightly cooler the second half of this week but we should stay dry for the next 10 days.  Then maybe a change.

Stay tuned.....BA
