~Fall Around the Pacific Northwest~
Exclusive Inland NW Summary Issued: Wednesday, November 4, 2026 @ 9:30pm
WRITTEN BY: Climatologist Bob Lutz
(Summaries will be issued as needed, and updated more frequently during times of active weather conditions)
SHORT-TERM FORECAST
The pattern will become a bit more unsettled as several fronts are now lined up to move across the Northwest. Unfortunately, each one looks to weaken significantly as they move into our forecast area. As such, precipitation amounts will be unimpressive for November standards. Snow levels will fluctuate in the mountains, but even here, any accumulations will be on the light side.
LONG-TERM FORECAST
The pattern will remain unsettled at times and unseasonably mild. The jury is still out on precipitation, but right now any precipitation still looks to be on the lighter side of normal early in the period. There is a possibility of a stronger system by the end of next week, but model agreement on that potential remains poor. At this time, I see absolutely no signs of any winter-like weather arriving in the Northwest anytime soon.
General Short-Term Model Agreement: GOOD
General Long-Term Model Agreement: FAIR
