We’ve receivedover 5″ of October rain, we endured the coldest first few weeks of October on record, and we now have the opportunity to change our last week of October forecast for the better.  At one point our computer models were showing us in the 40s with rain and snow From Wednesday into Friday, but it now appears that we’ll be much warmer.  The storms system responsible for the late week frightful weather is actually going to stall over the Rockies, keeping us in what we call southerly flow…all this means is that winds will be out of the south, and this will lead to mild temperatures for the whole week. Here is a jet level model image from Wednesday at 6 pm:

This upper level storm will crash through the region most likely Thursday and Friday, and yes, it does still look like we’ll get some more unwelcome rain, but probably not snow. Halloween? It’s a ways away, but as of right now, it looks partly cloudy, cool, and a bit breezy. Not bad though, right?
