October 2023 Weather in the PNW

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Nice night. 43F and dry.

[The Blob]

46 in Troutdale

[AuburnWx]

Let's get the first of the double digits month rolling. Here's to a fantastic October weather-wise! 

Pumpkin patches, Oktoberfest, harvesting...  October

[Tyler Mode]

Low of 39.8 so far.  A few high clouds bumping things for now.

[Meatyorologist]

41F. Coldest night of the season so far here.

[AuburnWx]

Got down to 43°F here. Currently 44°F. 
Chilly autumn morning. 

[MossMan]

Still no 30’s for me

Another low of 41. 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

39 at Eugene.

[Deweydog]

Heavenly 37 here this Rocktober morning.

 

[Anti Marine Layer]

The Californian intrusions will continue. 

Portland could reach 80 this week, which is hot there. 70 is a heatwave in Eureka, CA which unlike Newport, OR has never hit 90.

[AuburnWx]

SEA finished Sept with a -0.6 departure and 3.44” of rain. Also reeled in a sub-60 day on the 29th. 

[T-Town]

Got down to 43 here. My coldest of the season. 48 now with patchy fog.

38 at Corvallis!

[SilverFallsAndrew]

We hit 36 this morning. It looked like some frost up on the back hill, but I think it was just heavy dew. 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Mentioned on the September thread that it came in exactly average at SLE in terms of

temps. Well above average rainfall. I believe PDX was officially above normal on temps and below normal for rain. 

[Anti Marine Layer]

Californians can't tolerate cold weather. PNWers can't tolerate hot weather. Both areas have Mediterranean climates.

Also October averages warmer than May in Southern California. 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

12z gfs isn’t awful. About 2-2.5” of rain here over the first half of October. Not terrible. A few nice days for Tim’s garden to wind down the season. 

[Cold Snap]

Had a low of 38 this morning. First time getting into the 30s this fall.

[Tyler Mode]

37.3, coldest since April 25th.

[RentonHill]

I am just glad we don't have to listen to you and your partner complaining endlessly about a few sunny days in early October like it's the end of our ecosystem.

Last year about this time we were dealing with weeklong power shut offs to avoid a calamity. Can’t imagine the bitching we would have heard from you if you had to be on generator power for days on end due to fire danger. I’ll take this.

Nice deflection.    Our big power outage was almost 2 decades now.    I was a kid back then.    Obviously this year is different and not every sunny period is the end of world.   And you and your partner in crime complain all the time.

You seem bored and obsessed with trying to start a flame war. Not gonna happen.

That honestly seems to be your goal most days.   I am at the nursing home today so not real busy when my dad is sleeping.   At least we got him outside in the courtyard this afternoon.  He really enjoyed that.

[Cascadia_Wx]

Stunning first day of October. Currently 67 and sunny after a chilly low of 40 with some patchy fog around. Coldest morning of the season so far.

[Cascadia_Wx]

It was a beautiful last day of September in the South Washington Cascades.

Was a gorgeous morning at the lake.

Glad to see that ridge not entrenching

Found a few more old pics….

I believe this was December 1996, and for comparison I took this pic of the deck railing as a reference of how deep the snow was. 

[MossMan]

I believe this was November of 1985…And me in the late 70’s lol!

Foggy and misty this morning and all sunshine this afternoon. High of 62.4 so far. 

[Cascadia_Wx]

Nice to see tomorrow’s rain event getting beefed up a little on the models.

Also starting to look like we won’t have to endure too much misery next week before a rainy pattern returns. Although it wouldn’t surprise me to see the ridgy pattern get extended.

I'm sooo ready for some wet windy fall weather. Sure today is nice because it is crisp but I'm over the warm weather.

Thu to Sat could hit 80 with Friday being the best chance right now.
