Today: Spotty showers are being observed around Southern Oregon and Northern California this morning with mostly cloudy skies overhead. As the day transitions into the afternoon, most of the region will dry out with partly to mostly cloudy skies. One area this may not necessarily be true will be along the coast where isolated showers are possible through the day. High temperatures will be milder and more seasonal today. Temperatures will top out in the low to mid 60s in our westside valleys with upper 50s to lower 60s in Siskiyou County. East of the Cascades highs will rise into the middle to upper 50s with the coast seeing highs in the upper 50s to low 60s. Winds will be fairly light in Southern Oregon and Northern California today, although higher terrain areas may see gusty winds out of the west.

Tonight: An uptick in showers is expected this evening in Curry County. Rainfall totals will not amount to much, but conditions still will be damper than this afternoon. Higher terrain areas of the Cascades could see a brief period of shower activity during the evening and overnight hours as well. Otherwise, much of the region will remain dry with partly to mostly cloudy skies overhead. Temperatures tonight will fall into the mid to upper 40s in our westside valleys, low 40s in Siskiyou County with mid 30s along the Oregon coast. A few patchy areas of fog may develop overnight in valley locations, so proceed with caution heading out the door.

Extended: Thursday will be brighter and warmer for our region. The vast majority of the region will be dry for any outdoor plans. Along the coast, a few showers could linger in the morning, but we'll dry out here too with breaks in the clouds into the afternoon. Highs will climb into the upper 60s to lower 70s in our westside valleys of Southern Oregon and Northern California. The Klamath Basin will get back up into the 60s. A weak storm system will cool temperatures a bit for Friday into Saturday with the chance for showers in our region. Precipitation amounts won't be too significant. As we look towards Halloween, the forecast is looking dry and seasonal as your make your plans for the holiday. Trick-or-treaters should see some pretty pleasant and cool fall weather Sunday evening.

Forecast models are hinting at potentially a more robust storm system to impact our region to start next week. Snow levels look to stay rather high with that storm system. We'll keep you posted as the forecast becomes clearer on that system.
