OK, we we have a is this a new segment
Josh Cozart's capture sure, why not yes, why not?
I love it I I take so many photos, especially
on my walk in to work and this is the
prime time to get those cameras out and about as
the fall colors are really starting to pop here across
the Pacific Northwest, especially with those foggy warnings, it really
allows the vibrance of the colors to start to show
through.
Now we are seeing some of our trees come to
an end as they become bare.
We're talking about the ash trees and also so the
locust trees, but it's the oaks and the maples that
are really starting to get underway along with a lot
of the sweet gums as well.
Now over the next week or so, much of the
central and southeastern sections of our state expecting to kind
of dwindle with our peak fall foliage.
So seen a lot of bare trees here across much
of our state, but for the I-5 quarter, including the
Portland, Vancouver metro area, that's where we expect to near
our peak fall foliage.
If you haven't already started to see it in your
neighborhood, 48°, making it feel like the autumn season with
most.
So the skies winds out of the West at about
7:00 as our sunset is within the early 6:00 hour.
Satellite and radar are also showing that that cloud coverage
is starting to break down with a nice onshore flow
at this point in time.
But some big weather changes are on the way as
we work our way closer to the weekend.
Now as far as those cold temperatures go, it's Far
East into the northern sections of Oregon, southeastern sections of
Washington where freeze watch is currently in effect.
That's where the sensitive plants could potentially be damaged or
even killed in those cold temperatures.
But right here at home along the I-5 corridor, expecting
to see our early morning lows hover in towards the
50s as we move into Saturday and Sunday.
That is all due to the return of an atmospheric
river, a burst of moisture pushing its way across the
Pacific Ocean, ending up in western Oregon and southwest Washington.
That will bring some soaking rains back to our region,
but it is likely going to be weak to minor
across our area.
But nonetheless, that does mean that a super soaker event
is starting to take shape here across western Oregon and
southwest Washington.
We'll time it out here with our futurecasting.
Those clearing skies for this afternoon, maybe some high, thin
cirrus clouds to filter out some of the harshest of
the sun's rays as we keep that cloud coverage for
the start of the day Friday, a little bit more
sunshine.
By the afternoons, those winds become quite gusty.
And then there you go.
The wet weather starts to push its way back in
late Friday through the overnight hours and into Saturday.
And then it's pretty much rain as far as the
eye can see, helping to fill up those rain gauges,
in many cases closing in at about an inch, inch
and a half from Saturday to Monday.
And the rain chances still remain well into next week
as significant heavy mountain snow is possible Tuesday, Wednesday into
Thursday of next week.
Today right here in the city, 59°, that's our end
goal.
We'll see increasing clouds tonight as temperatures hover into the
low 40s.
But those wind gusts becoming close to about 30 mph
come tomorrow morning.
So if it's trash day, make sure those trash cans
are secure along the curb.
7 day forecast.
There you go.
The winds of change usher in that atmospheric river Friday
into Saturday, boys.
It going to be a super soaker event Sunday.
Monday, dropping those daytime highs into the mid 50s as
we stay pretty much wet through the middle of next
week.
Wow.
OK, so Friday is the if it's trash day for
anyone.
Yes.
Especially in the early morning hours.
It's going to be quite breezy out there.
Yeah, we're always the house.
So ours is Monday, but we're like just stuff because
everywhere, because I have it packed to full.
All right, we'll be right back.
Stick around.
