Wow, we have a lot to talk about today regarding weather in the PacNW. I'll start off by mentioning that it was a very wet weekend, Sat-Sun Precipitation totals in McMinnville reached 1.07" total while places like Astoria received 3.42". A location in Washington (Cougar) received 7.96" of rain in October!! I have noticed that we are starting to take that weekend wet/weekday dry pattern here which is typical of early fall and spring.
Winter Weather Awareness Week Oct. 17th- 23rd via NWS of Portland.
Talking about all this rain, already, makes my email box fill up with emails on what we are looking at for this coming winter. The OMSI Winter Weather Meeting on the 16th at 10 AM will kick off the official start to the National Weather Services Winter Weather Awareness Week. McMinnville Weather has always supported NWS's goal of providing life saving tips and information regarding safety during our winter months here in the Pacific Northwest. To celebrate, next week I will dedicate a blog post every day that the Winter Weather Awareness Week has put up on that specific day, we'll discuss all the information and make sure everyone has it down.

We also want to take the time and let folks know that we have officially finished the MCMW.com MWSRD (McMinnville Weather's Severe Weather Reporting System)on our front page. We want folks to bookmark the page and report all severe/storm damage incidents to this program, which we will use for future research projects as well as data sharing with the National Weather Service.
