As a warm front crosses the area, strong southerly winds will warm temperatures into the mid 50s today. In the Cascades, the snow level climbs to 8,000 ft. this afternoon. If you are crossing the passes early, you might encounter some slick spots, but no problems later today.
We have a chance of showers tomorrow morning, but a much better chance of rain arrives tomorrow night through early Saturday. Although there may be a few lingering showers for Trick-or-Treaters, I’m still banking on a mostly dry forecast!
Dry weather continues through early next week.
