Happy Friday! Three strong storms will affect the region later Sunday through the end of next week. Expect 1.50-2.50" of total rain (Sunday afternoon thru Friday), wind gusts of 20-30 mph at times, and maybe a rumble or two of thunder. Snow levels mostly above 5000-6000', but will lower to near 4000' at times (esp Mon night/Tue morning). At this time, it looks like more storms may affect the region late next weekend into the following week (Sun Nov 17 onward). Normal rainfall for November is 6.92". Anomalously strong high pressure in key parts of the Pacific has been affecting the storm track and blocking storms that would otherwise affect Oregon. Keep your fingers crossed that this won't be the general pattern during our wettest months so that we can at least get normal rain/snow.

Note that a weak storm is currently aimed at Oregon but is running into strong high pressure that's across the west. This storm and high pressure are battling it out, but, as the storm somewhat falls apart, just expect cloudy skies on Saturday (especially afternoon / evening / night) and possibly some sprinkles or a light shower 6pm Saturday to 6am Sunday.

NEVER FORGET THAT YOU HAVE A PURPOSE!
