WeatherWatcher: Weekly report, more rain on the way

Forecast

Graphs for the month of October

Last week's data

Forecast: We have a short break in the weather on the way for us on Sunday, with mostly sunny skies and a high near 70°F. This will be short-lived however, as our next storm moves in late Sunday night and into Monday bringing renewed rainfall. The rest of the week looks like it will stay wet with a series of storms moving through. Expect highs around the low - mid 60's and lows in the 50's. Rainfall amounts will probably be a little lighter at about 1 inch of rainfall total for next week, but it will probably be more spread out instead of in short downpours.

Graphs for the month of October: I wanted to show that the average daily barometric pressure has showed a drop as the storm train got pointed in our direction. So far, we were averaging around 29.7-30.0 inches of mercury at the weather station all summer and fall. When the storms moved in that average dropped down to 29.2-29.4 inches of mercury. 

Rainfall is graphed on the same timeline for October and you can easily see the connection to the low pressure and increased rainfall totals. 

With the third graph you can see we are still running a degree or two warmer than normal, even in the low temperatures. This is a trend that hasn't broken for the majority of the last 4 months.
