SHORT-TERM FORECAST
The weather will remain rather quiet through midweek. On Thursday, a storm moving to our south will send some moisture into the Inland Northwest producing areas of showers. In fact, the models have become a bit more bullish with this forecast over the past day or so. Fair weather will return for Friday and Saturday.
LONG-TERM FORECAST
The more permanent onset of our wet season remains in question as models continue to struggle with the details and timing of any potential change during this period. There seems to be fairly good agreement in that temperatures will dip to below normal averages as higher pressure retreats, but much uncertainty exists concerning the precipitation side of the forecasts. I will have more once models come into better agreement.
General Short-Term Model Agreement: FAIR
General Long-Term Model Agreement: POOR
