6.14" of rain in October that's over 3" above normal. Now it looks like drier weather is returning for at least the first week of November. Go figure, this is turning into an interesting fall.

A weak ridge will begin to build across the region tonight, keeping us dry. I do expect wide spread areas of fog on Friday morning. Some areas could see visibilites below 1/4 of a mile.

After the fog lifts we should have partly to mostly cloudy skies. Temperatures will remain in the low 60s, about 5 degrees above average.

Through at least the middle of next week we'll have no better than a 40% chance of rain. Freezing levels will remain well above pass levels.

Tonight's low 51
Friday's high 60

Wednesday, June 19th 5:30 am

The morning weather will be quiet again, with only showers in the forecast for most of us.

Scattered showers are likely to begin popping up later this afternoon. Daytime highs will be in the upper 60s. Sun breaks are also likely this afternoon. The upper-level low pressure area that triggered thunderstorms yesterday is slowing, moving east away from the area. Showers will begin to taper off tonight. Overnight lows will be in the mid 50s.

Computer weather models show a couple of drier days ahead for our area. Tomorrow, the weather pattern will likely be morning clouds and afternoon sun. Daytime highs will stay in the upper 60s. Friday, the first full day of summer, will likely be warmer. Daytime highs will be in the low 70s.

Making weekend plans? Rain may close in on the area by Sunday night.

(New) First-time storm chaser has tornado come to him at Denver's airport (Photo Gallery) (Video)

Scott Sistek : Jun 19, 2013 7:30 AM PDT

A first-time storm chaser got the equivalent of hitting a home run in your first major league at bat Tuesday afternoon when a tornado came to him instead.

Grayson Schaffer, a senior editor at Outside Magazine, had just flown into Denver International Airport from Santa Fe, New Mexico and was awaiting the arrival of noted tornado chaser Reed Timmer and his crew when a tornado formed right over the end of the runways.

Weather Blog ''Baked Alaska'': 90-96° temps shatter all-time records

Scott Sistek : Jun 17, 2013 11:00 PM PDT : Jun 18, 2013 10:51 AM PDT

Many people head to Alaska to visit the snow-capped mountains and awe-inspiring glaciers.

Monday, sitting on a glacier might not have been a bad idea.

A major ridge of high pressure brought intense heat to south-central Alaska with four towns experiencing heat never before felt in their record-keeping history.

Weather Blog Northwest a refuge for a sweltering nation this summer?

Scott Sistek : Jun 13, 2013 7:26 AM PDT : Jun 13, 2013 1:12 PM PDT

While it's been fairly pleasant around here this spring, summer-like weather has already been well under way in many other parts of the nation.

Denver hit 100 degrees on June 11 -- the earliest 100 degree on record there... by three days! Atlanta hit their inaugural 90 this week, Minneapolis hit 98 in May, parts of Oklahoma are at 100, Livermore, California has already notched 107, Phoenix has been over 108 for a week, and Death Valley has already been over 120!

Back here, we flirted with the upper 80s on one day and have touched 80 on a handful of others, but otherwise, it's been downright comfortable with most days 65-75.

Could that be the building theme of the upcoming summer? Could the Northwest be the refuge from another searing hot summer across the rest of the United States?
