Here We Go

Here we go... Our first sign that fall is here . Yes the season offically changed last Sunday but Thursday night the weather pattern offically changes. An unseasonably cool weather system is dropping in from The Gulf Of Alaska. Oregon and southwest Washington will have one more dry and mild day before the rain reaches us.

Computer models put the rain arriving to the north coast in the afternoon. Locally the rain should hold off until evening. Colder air arrives behind the initial rain bands.

As the colder air arrives Thursday night snow levels fall rapidly. By early Friday morning snow might be sticking as low as the 4000ft elevation. Most of the mountain passes could see some light accumulations of snow or a mix of snow and rain. I think sticking snow will be most likely above 4,500ft.

The cooler and damp weather pattern will likely continue through the weekend and into the middle part of next week. Yep here we go - fall has arrived
