After a slight cool start to the week, warmer weather is rolling in with the start of October. When could we finally see Fall weather?
Forecasts are showcasing very consistent patterns of dry and warm weather as we change over months. October is trending 10-15 degrees warmer than normal for this time of year and that will push us into the upper 80s by the weekend. I'm not leaving out the chance of 90°F returning to southern Idaho just yet as the heat just continues on.
Dry weather is the other half of this forecast that will stick around. Very minimal precipitation will impact the most northwestern part of Washington by Thursday but that is about it for chances of rain for any part of the Pacific northwest. Thought out extended outlook says warmer than normal, it will be very comfortable for the most part so keep the sweaters packed for the daytime as we will not see cool weather for a bit longer.
A quick update on El Niño as we get into the Fall season. Pacific temperatures are still trending much warmer than normal which is a clear sign of the weather phenomenon. All signs point to our winter being warm and dry once again which won't bode back to back years.
October is just around the corner and the warm weather is sticking around so be ready for it!
