Rainfall numbers and a look at when more may be coming

What a great rain (for those south of I-70 at least). It is a bit like rubbing salt in an open wound; I understand that. However, the need for moisture is all over the Pains, so the fact that we had anything substantial WITH a hurricane making landfall at the same time is impressive. 

Here are some of the 24 hour numbers ending at 7 a.m. Thursday:


How long will we wait before the next chances arrive?

It's unlikely to happen in the first week of November, but the waiting game may not be as long in this go around. I'm expecting chances for moisture will return in two weeks (putting it somewhere in the November 10-15 day range). How widespread and what areas? Uncertain, but I think we will see our weather get active again before we know it. More low pressure systems should return to the western US as we approach mid-November.

Our winter forecast is coming out November 21st in a 30 minute special. We are excited to share our thoughts with you soon. In the meantime, I'm working on a November outlook which will be posted Friday.

Have a great day.
