Excessive Rainfall Possible This Weekend; October Heat Wave in California

A slow moving front will be the focus area for heavy to excessive rainfall and a threat for flash/urban flooding across the northern Gulf Coast and Southeast U.S. through this weekend. Abnormally hot, potentially record-breaking, temperatures will impact southern California and stretch north toward the Bay Area and Central Valley into next week. Read More >

LAST UPDATED:  822 PM SATURDAY, OCTOBER  3 2026

.AVIATION /00Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Mostly VFR today with scattered showers and isolated storms.
Restrictions increasing tonight into Sunday morning.

Scattered showers visible on radar and may impact the terminals
briefly this afternoon, although forcing is weak, limiting
convective coverage. While isolated storms may impact the
Columbia terminals over the next several hours, the rest of the
terminals will likely just deal with showers. Tonight a front
will move into the area from the north with increased chances
for moderate to heavy rain along the front which may lead to
decreasing visibilities. More notable restrictions will be
lowering ceilings with high confidence in IFR ceilings,
especially for the northern terminals into tomorrow as
precipitation induced CAD develops. As a result, expect
restrictions to continue through 18z tomorrow. 

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...Scattered to widespread showers and
isolated thunderstorms Sunday night into Monday morning likely 
lead to restrictions. Drier air filtering in Monday.
