TODAY is Halloween; Trick-or-Treat time will have light rain/showers and breezes of 5-10 mph ("may" be a break at some point this evening). Good slug of moisture arrives after 3:00am, rain could become heavy tomorrow morning & afternoon + some wind gusts up to 25 mph. Scattered to numerous showers Friday night and Saturday (some […]
Don't forget to set clocks BACK one hour when you go to bed this Saturday. Seasonably strong storm will affect the region this afternoon through Friday night, 2-3" of total rainfall expected. A good burst of rain (~1/2") should occur this afternoon/evening, will back off a bit tonight, then be pretty solid Thursday morning through […]
Thursday: Ready for some good rainfall? Lots of rain coming in Friday night through Monday. Looks like an easy 1.5-2". Snow levels above 5000' through Sunday, then 3800-4500' Monday. No wind concerns, ~15 mph or less. Freezing lows likely tonight then again Mon/Tue nights. Tuesday looks dry then rain chances exist between noon on Wednesday […]
It's Thursday! Scattered showers (maybe a rumble of thunder?) until just after sunset. Dry tonight through Saturday night (with some fog), then rain returns Sunday afternoon or evening (~1/2") into Monday. Dry Tue/Wed, then "maybe" a strong storm next Thursday (more details about this on Sunday or Monday). Temperatures roller coaster over the next 10-days. […]
Major weather change to a more consistent fall/wet pattern occurs Tuesday night. Until then, unseasonably warm, dry today/Sunday, chance of sprinkles or a brief light shower on Monday. The coldest storm of the season so far arrives Tuesday evening/night between 7pm and 11pm. Typical mid-fall medium strength storm - expect around 1/2-3/4" of rain/showers Tue […]

Wednesday's storm dropped 0.09-0.14" of rainfall in Cottage Grove. It'll now be dry until the end of next week. The strongest storm of the season (so far) may come in Thursday night of next week (Oct 3) and depart the following Saturday morning. Some signals that we could see 0.75-1.25" of rainfall, but this is […]
It's Monday (again!). Abnormally hot today and Tuesday. A big drop in temps starting Wednesday and we "may" then be done with above 80° highs for the season. Regarding rain chances, expect some light showers Wednesday 12pm-10pm and maybe some sprinkles Friday morning before noon. I still think a more fall-like rainy pattern will kick […]

Next chances for light rain possibly around Sept 24, but there's uncertainties and we may therefore end up mostly dry. No […]
