Fall Weather Coming

Fall Weather Coming. I’m Greg Martin with today’s Fruit Grower Report.

Not sure if you have noticed but the weather has been changing. I have even contemplated pulling out my sweater. Meteorologist Tim Creek has a look at what the next 30 days has in store for the northwest.

CREEK: After our cool and unsettled weather this weekend it does look like we are going to try to ease back into a warmer type of weather pattern at least for the latter part of September. Now I still expect that we’ll see some minor weather systems sliding by to the north maybe Wednesday and Thursday which will give us a lot of clouds but at the same time I think high pressure is beginning to build in from the south and it’s this high pressure that is going to take a hold of the overall weather pattern as we get into maybe Friday, this weekend and much of next week. Now if the long-range weather charts are correct we could be looking at temperatures that are in the 80’s for the most part through next week and maybe as warm as the mid to upper 80’s. That’d be about 10 degrees warmer than average for this time of the year. I would like to say that’s going to continue through the month of October but that wouldn’t be correct at least in what I’m thinking. It does look like the weather pattern is going to kind of fall apart as we get into the latter part - last day of September and the first of October and I really do expect, at least through the first half of the month that we are going to have a relatively active weather pattern which will lead to maybe slightly above average precipitation and neat normal temperatures.

Frost does not seem to be on the board at least at this point in the forecast.
