WeatherWatcher: First Fall Storm, Weekly Report

First Major Storm of the Season

Forecast

Weather Data

First major storm of the fall season is on the way. The storm is expected to arrive Tuesday afternoon-mid evening. A particularly strong system for this time of year is expected to bring us showers by the afternoon and steady rain overnight with breezy winds. I suspect it is possible for a scattered power outage, however unlikely. We are expecting from a half inch to a full 1 inch of rainfall out of this event. Check those storm drains and make sure they remain clear.

Forecast: After Tuesday's storm we will see showers through Friday. High temperatures are going to be much cooler than we're used to, but much closer to normal finally. Highs are looking to be in the mid 60's with lows in the mid 50's. This week should remind us very clearly that fall has arrived. Next weekend looks dry right now with temperatures nearing 70, longer range forecasts seem to agree that rain showers will return next week as well.
