What to expect in the coming weeks

By Rod Hill on 2011-09-18


Now that our hot September streak has ended, you may be wondering what the coming weeks will bring.

Forecast models are showing a number of days with afternoon sun and highs in the 70s to near 80 as September continues and ends.  This month has a likely chance of ending with above normal temperatures and below normal rainfall.  

The October outlook does call for above normal rainfall with temperatures close to normal.  Current forecast charts show a wet week as the new month begins.  

You may find this surprising, but the record book now shows most of the daily record cold - high temperatures in the 50s.  In other words, it would not be unusual for high temperatures to only be in the 50s!

More to come on the winter forecast in a few weeks.  Fall begins September 23rd - a little later than most years.
