Tim Chuey Weather:

The rain season starts today. It may have officially began October 1st, but now it will be for real.

High: 68
Low: 46
Forecast: Mostly cloudy w/rain

A  high pressure ridge (Shaded “Arch” shape with blue arrows) continues to be centered over the Pacific Northwest, but it is weakening. An upper level low is moving inland in Southern California and will spin up clouds at us. A frontal system will slide through the Pacific Northwest Friday starting a parade of storms that are headed our way. Another surface frontal system that will slide through by Sunday will increase the clouds and the chance of rain too. More frontal systems will parade through Sunday and Monday. We are finally going to see our first significant rain of the season. Note: Remember that the roadways can get very slipperywhen we get rain falling on very dry pavement. The rain water brings up the oil that has been deposited on the pavement making a slippery coating until enough rain can wash it away.

Because weather forecasting is a combination of science, intuition, and timing there can be no absolute guarantees that individual forecasts will be 100% accurate. Nature is in a constant state of flux and sudden unexpected weather events can happen.
