Outdoor Report for Friday, Oct. 23

We have what's called a water year, which starts on October 1st and goes until September 30th. Of course, a new water year just started, and we're getting a very lackluster start to that as well, with only eight hundredths of an inch of rain so far for the month. We typically average almost four inches of rain for the month of October. We are so far off of that. All right, here's a look at your radar right now. We have high pressure overhead today. What that's going to do for us is bringing us some morning clouds, some afternoon sunshine. Today's high temperatures are going to be back into the upper 50s, but we're starting off the day in the 30s in a few outlying areas. Bellingham, Olympia, Centralia all in the 30s to start our day. For yard work today, for football this evening, looks fantastic, especially as we get into the afternoon hours. We are going to be back to sunshine, folks, with highs in the mid to upper 50s. For the central sound, south sound will be into the mid to upper 50s, close to 60 down towards Olympia. And for the north sound, we'll be looking at mid to upper 50s mostly sunny skies coast and the strait will be into the 50s for the most part still waiting on some interesting weather i do have some on sunday sunday it's a complicated forecast we have a low pressure system that's going to be bringing some rain to a part of our region but right now it really depends on where that's all going to line up i think we'll have a better idea tomorrow models are coming into better agreement saying that that low is going to be a little farther away from seattle so most of the shower activity is going to be out over the olympic peninsula and coast and we could be mainly dry or just see a few light showers on sunday especially in the morning hours then we dry out for the evening again watch the forecast again tomorrow uh things are probably going to come into agreement a little bit better by then monday and beyond we're back to drier weather and look at how consistent these temperatures are going to remain this is right around average for this time of year. We're going to stay that way all the way through next Thursday.
