Going To Get Wet

We are off to a good start to the day today, and the weather should hold up well through the afternoon, but from then on wet weather will dominate into next week. We will see a major shift in the weather pattern as a high pressure ridge shifts to the east allowing low pressure from the Pacific to move in. The result will be a cooler, and at times wet period right into the middle of next week. The first wave of rain will move in tonight, with showers lingering tomorrow. There might even be an isolated rumble of thunder or two Friday afternoon. Another round of rain will come through Friday night into Saturday, and more showers will be in the forecast just about every day for the next 6 or 7. Along with this will come chillier air. That will drop the snow levels in the mountains low enough to cause trouble for travelers. Accumulating snow could get as low as 3,000 feet by Saturday and Sunday. Temperatures here in the Spokane area will be getting into the 50s again today, but then drop back into the 40s through the weekend. Overnight lows will be in the low to mid 40s. In reality, this is just about what you would expect of November weather.
