I think I have one more for the season once some of the oaks let loose, then after that I'll burn 'em. Almost done for the season. A pretty day today with the lack of wind. My high was 58 degrees. Should be about 10 degrees warmer tomorrow but it'll be windy with winds gusting 30-35 mph. The wind will pick up a little overnight and increase tomorrow ahead of our Wed night and Thurs rain maker. Temps will then drop of course after that.

Dry Fri and Sat. We're still looking at rain coming back in by Sun afternoon and changing to a little snow before ending on Monday. Temps will drop as well. We may not get out of the 30s for highs by Mon afternoon and Tues of next week. We'll have to wait and see the storm evolution for next week before and then again after Thanksgiving. Busy times ahead and lots of chances for cold air to work in. I don't see any snow storms yet but a lot of rain to snow situations IMO. That's all you can really ask for in November!

Same here Les, busy.

Agree , with your assessment. We're in the same pattern still since late October. As we mentioned last week, 3-5 days of alternating slightly above and below Temps. Yes, we've seen some nice 500mb maps in the EPO/PNA zones on the models but those are one or at most 2 day snapshots that don't last and then repeat, hence our pattern. The troughs along the NWPac coast have beaten down the ridge every time, And it certainly looks to continue through the end of November , however, if we can keep this pattern going into December I think it would then pay off with better snow chances because of that expanding snowpack in Canada
