Sunny And Warm This Week

Winter Outlook: Precipitation

The mild and dry October weather will continue this week. Afternoon highs will be in the 60s and 70s, and the next chance of rain isn't until Friday night.

Whereas there is a strong signal for above normal temperatures during El Niño winters, precipitation during El Niño's is much more variable. As a result, we have equal chances for above and below normal precipitation. Given the warmth expected and the potential for all rain events, it is possible that we could have above normal precipitation, but below normal snowfall this winter.
