Not So Scary

Sunshine prevails for Halloween, although it’s going to be on the cool side. Partly cloudy skies this evening will yield to more clouds overnight with some light rain or drizzle possible late tonight. Spotty light rain and drizzle Sunday morning will give way to sunshine and a milder afternoon....before we turn much colder for Sunday night. Oh, and don’t forget to turn your clocks back tonight.

Ray Russell's 2020-2021 Winter Fearless Forecast is now available. The bottom line for the forecast is: 1) less than average snow and 2) slightly warmer than average temperatures. We will have a few significant snow events but prolonged cold periods will be difficult to sustain. Get all the details here. Brought to you by Peak Insurance Group.

Forecast Discussion

Skies will be mostly sunny today and temperatures will remain cool. Skies will be partly cloudy this evening, allowing for a glimpse of the full Blue Harvest Moon before clouds try to fill in overnight. A little spooky. :)

Clouds thicken overnight ahead of a strong cold front that will be pushing through the mountains during Sunday afternoon. Some light showers will be around Sunday morning then some clearing giving temperatures a daytime boost. The cold front will be east of us by Sunday evening, and colder air will arrive in force on gusty northwesterly winds.

Monday will be clear, blustery and chilly. However, as Canadian high pressure modifies, so will our temperature regime, starting as early as Tuesday. The rest of the week features mostly clear conditions with a continuation of moderating temperatures.
