SHORT-TERM FORECAST
The weekend and the early portion of the new workweek will be characterized by cooler temperatures both day and night, along with occasional cloud cover. Precipitation is not expected at this time, as much of any major moisture will remain offshore.
LONG-TERM FORECAST
The models continue to struggle over the precipitation side of the forecast during the final week of October, but I have noticed a slight trend that is leaning more toward the wetter solutions. This is all still dependent on where the latest offshore storm will track by the middle of the new workweek. On the flip side, there remains very good agreement in that temperatures will remain on the cooler side of average. As such, if any precipitation that does make it inland may very well fall as snow in the mountains, and even some wet snow is possible down to the northern valley floors during the overnight hours later in the period.
General Short-Term Model Agreement: GOOD
General Long-Term Model Agreement: POOR
