SHORT-TERM FORECAST
The well-advised storm continues to make headway into the Northwest. Sunday is expected to be cool, breezy, and rainy at times, with some embbedded showers and possible thunderstorms producing pockets of localized heavy rain. Numerous showers will continue into Sunday night, but any thunderstorm potential should be on the decrease. Some models are forecasting the chance of scattered showers on Monday, but that will all depend on how fast this latest storm moves out of the Inland Northwest.
LONG-TERM FORECAST
A return of higher pressure should bring with it drier, warmer weather around midweek, which should then continue into next weekend. In fact, temperatures are forecast to rise to above normal averages as we head toward the end of the workweek, with little chance of any measurable precipitation. This pattern would be more typical of September weather, and it may persist for several days!
General Short-Term Model Agreement: GOOD
