Rain is heading our way…

Saturday – 1 October 2022 – 2:30pm update.

The past…

The high on Friday at Stevens Field was 71 and the low this morning was 44. Most of us recorded no rain yesterday but there were a couple of spots that reported 0.02 and 0.01 inches of rain.

Screenshot 2022 10 01 103214 — Rainfall was almost nil yesterday for our area.

Screenshot 2022 10 01 130607 — *2:15pm radar shows* some scattered showers to our north, moving NE. Rain odds will be on the increase later today and into the evening.

Forecast discussion…

A low pressure and trough to our NW will continue slowly moving east over the next 4 days, increasing our rain odds starting this afternoon and evening. Look for a mostly cloudy skies with very good chances for rain through Monday along with cooler temps as a cold front pushes through tomorrow. The low will be almost stationary through Monday, then will drift slowly east, so look for a continued chance for scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms through Wednesday.

Low — A trough and low are located to our NW this afternoon, spinning clouds, showers and thunderstorms counterclockwise around the low. This low will move ever so slightly east over the next few days, increasing our rain odds through Wednesday.

I consider myself a "weather journalist" who has been studying and following meteorology since taking an earth science class in eighth grade. Later, when I became a professional commercial photographer, I learned that my continued studies in meteorology helped me plan outdoor photo assignments. I'm now a semi-retired photographer who teaches photo workshops, goes storm chasing and of course enjoys photographing great landscapes and clouds in our area.
