Today: After a chilly start this morning, we are expecting a very warm and pleasant afternoon across the region. Highs temperatures today will top out in the low to mid 70s in our westside valleys and Northern California and into the upper 60s to lower 70s in the Klamath Basin. Breezy at times, the coast will feature temperatures in the 60s to around 70°.

Tonight: Skies will remain clear again tonight along with chilly overnight temperatures. Lows in our westside valleys will fall into the mid to upper 30s for many, into the low to mid 20s in the Kalamth Basin and into the upper 40s to lower 50s along the coast. Winds will remain light inland, so expect patchy frost east of the Cascades by Thursday morning.

Extended: Mornings will stay chilly, but do expect more sunny and warm weather on your Thursday. High temperatures will remain a good 10 to 15 degrees above where we should be for the end of October. A storm system on Friday will impact the Pacific Northwest, but we expect Southern Oregon and Northern California will remain dry right into Halloween weekend. Temperatures will drop just a bit Friday into Saturday, but highs will still be above-average. Halloween is looking quite pleasant with mostly sunny skies and comfortable temperatures. The evening will be cool with skies clearing and perfect viewing of the Full Blue Moon Halloween night.

Don't forget to set your clocks back an hour as we end Daylight Saving Time on Sunday!

As we head into November, we'll likely stay dry with more warmer-than-average temperatures. The next possibility for rain could occur on Election Day or into your Wednesday. We'll be watching that system closely, and you can expect changes to the forecast.
