DAYS 1-5 (NOVEMBER 16-20)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our dry spell and high fire danger roll on, but from a weather standpoint it’s quite nice for being out and about on this mid November weekend. While today there is a gusty breeze at times, the air will not be that cold, as the air mass in our region is quite modified, despite a big ocean storm to our east. As this feature moves away, and high pressure builds in, we’ll have an even nicer Sunday with less wind and above normal temperatures again. Mild weather will continue into Monday, but the wind will kick up as a trough and frontal system swing through from northwest to southeast. Other than the slight chance of a passing rain shower with this disturbance before midday Monday, the dry weather will continue early next week with a cooling trend in a northwesterly air flow. This is all part of a readjusting blocking pattern that for now continues to keep our region dry. Will that last? I’ll address it after this detailed forecast for the next 5 days…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (NOVEMBER 21-25)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The large scale pattern, while driven by blocking, is going to reconfigure itself enough to allow a large low pressure area into the Great Lakes region and some development further east of there to give us a decent shot at some rainfall on November 21, but the orientation \/ movement of this may mean that significant rainfall rates are only over this area for a relatively short duration. Any rain \/ precipitation we can get is beneficial with the ongoing \/ worsening drought and the frequently high fire danger. The remainder of the period features upper level low pressure hanging around and while the pattern is technically “unsettled” with some rain\/mix\/snow shower chances, it’s not likely to be particularly wet beyond the November 21 opportunity and maybe one more shot of rain for part of November 22.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (NOVEMBER 26-30)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thanksgiving travel \/ holiday (November 28) \/ “shopping season” means that the weather here will be very important. Strongest indications are for additional blocking, but our region on the drier side yet again. Will monitor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
