SHORT-TERM FORECAST
The pattern will remain somewhat unsettled at times as various fronts move over the Northwest off the Pacific. With the storm centers still well offshore, these waves of moisture will continue to weaken as they approach our forecast area. As such, precipitation amounts will continue to be unimpressive for November standards. Snow levels will also fluctuate in the mountains, but even here, any snow accumulations will be on the light side, mostly due to the unseasonably mild temperatures, which are expected to continue well into the new workweek. In between fronts, expect drier weather, but areas of low clouds and fog could be locally problematic.
LONG-TERM FORECAST
For the most part, the pattern will likely remain unchanged with occasional showers and gusty winds at times. Precipitation amounts still look to come in on the lighter side of normal. If the storm centers over the Pacific move closer to shore, then there is a chance for some heavier precipitation, but models continue to disagree on that potential. With the prevailing southwesterly flow, temperatures on average will also top out well above normal, with still no signs of any winter weather in sight for us here in the Inland Northwest.
General Short-Term Model Agreement: GOOD
General Long-Term Model Agreement: FAIR
